New to Jervis Systems? Here’s our 4-step guide to get you started.
1. Connect Your Property Management System (PMS)
From your Jervis Systems dashboard, navigate to the Marketplace page and select the option to connect to your PMS of choice.
You will either be brought to a pop-up screen like the one below or a new page prompting you to log in through your PMS.
Each PMS platform will have its unique requirements to connect. To view the instructions for your specific PMS, check out the user guides on our blog.
2. Import & Edit Your Properties
Once your PMS and Jervis Systems accounts are connected, go to your Properties page within your Jervis Systems account and click “Refresh Properties”. When the page had reloaded, you will see all the property listings imported from your PMS account. Select the three dots to the right of each listing to view and edit your property details.
Please note: Anytime you add a new property to your PMS, Jervis Systems will not automatically import it. In order to import your property for upcoming reservations to register in our system, you will need to click on the “Refresh Properties” button. This will pull in new properties that are set up on the PMS side, and allow you to finish setting them up with the basic information neeeded to enable adding devices.
Go through your properties to set your time zone details. Once your time zone has been set, you will see the status for the property change from “Incomplete” to “Enabled”.
Optional: You can also edit your check-in and check-out offset options if you prefer to extend PIN code access to easily accommodate early or late guest checkout.
3. Import & Assign Your Devices
Go to the Devices page and connect to your smart locks and devices by selecting the “Import Devices” button. From there, select your smart lock or device system provider and follow the prompts to connect your smart lock account.
Please note: If you are adding additional devices to an account you have previously connected (ex. August), do not use these same steps to connect that device. This will result in duplicate accounts! Instead, hit the “Refresh Devices” to bring in the new devices that are in your existing linked accounts.
Once your devices are imported successfully, you will want to assign your devices to your imported properties. You can do this by selecting the drop-down list for the device you want to assign and checking the boxes for the properties you want it to be assigned to.
Return to the Properties page. You should see the property status indicator has turned green for the properties with assigned devices. This means that the property is fully configured for automated access.
4. Import Your Reservations
Your reservations will be automatically imported into Jervis Systems within 30 minutes to an hour. You can immediately import your STR reservations by navigating to the Reservations tab in your Jervis Systems account. From here select the “Refresh” button.
Success! Your Jervis Systems account is set up, and your properties, devices, and reservations are now imported.
