Two Days Back, 180 Homes Covered: How Hobbs Realty Streamlined Turn Days.

Vacation rental turn day automation becomes critical when you're managing 180+ coastal properties. For Hobbs Realty, the team was spending days packing toilet paper and trash bags into boxes. Thankfully, there was a better way.

With sojo’s integration with Streamline, amenity shipments got automatically scheduled with each turnover. What’s more is that the connection also pulls property data to see which homes are standard and which are luxury. Standard homes get one experience, and luxury homes get a little something extra.

What’s in their sojo turn day setup?

• Bathroom: Custom-branded PRO bathroom and LUX bathroom kits
• Kitchen: Custom-branded PRO kitchen and LUX kitchen kits
• Extras: Welcome cards and seasonal welcome bundles

The Before: Days of Manual Labor

"We were hand-making the kits ourselves," said Bethany Smith, Chief Administrative Officer. "Pulling supplies, packing boxes—it took at least two full days of labor."

Before our amenity automation, the turn day process looked like this:

• Ordering supplies? Manual tracking across multiple vendors.
• Organizing and storing it all? A total space hog with no vacation rental inventory management system in place.
• Assembling the kits? A full-day job no one looked forward to.

It was labor-intensive, morale-crushing, and unsustainable for a growing coastal vacation rentals operation.

The After: Automated Amenity Restocking System

Enter sojo for vacation rentals. Now, amenity turn day kits arrive pre-packed, timed with turnovers, and ready to impress.

• Less physical strain on the team
• 2+ full workdays saved per week
• No more "where do we store this?" drama
• No more bulk ordering or inventory tracking

"It's one less headache," Bethany said. "We know the shipment will show up on time. We don't have to think about it." This is how property managers automate inventory and supplies—without adding complexity to their operations.

Big Win: Housekeeping Team Productivity and Staff Morale

Taking kit assembly off housekeeping's plate was a game-changer.

This automated turn day solution didn't eliminate jobs. They actually made room for better ones. Former kit-packers now focus on higher-value work, and they don't need as many seasonal hires. That means more stability, less turnover, and a smoother peak season.

Guest Love + Rental Guest Satisfaction Tools

While Bethany doesn't have hard numbers on direct bookings, the guest feedback says it all:

“We loved the starter kit—no store runs on night one!”


“Such a thoughtful touch—everything we needed was right there.”

These mentions show up in reviews and post-stay surveys. And when you're focused on ways to improve guest satisfaction through amenities, this kind of feedback matters.

It’s a Partnership, Not Just a Platform

Bethany emphasized something we hear property managers: The partnership just feels easy.

With property management software integrations that work out of the box and a team focused on hospitality inventory solutions, sojo delivers guest experience and hospitality tech that scales.
