Who you will deal with
Founder & Lead Systems Consultant · Entebbe, Uganda
I build software that does the busywork. Lodgely is founder-led: I run discovery, design the system and check the quality myself.
You own your records and can ask for an export at any time. The handover includes admin logins and written notes, so another developer could take over if you ever need one. (confirm)
Care plans include hosting and backups, and you always hold the admin logins. Lodgely is founder-led, so we are straight about it: during a build you deal with Chris directly, and the handover notes mean you are never locked in. (confirm)
Typically 2 to 4 weeks for a website and 6 to 10 weeks for a management system, depending on your rooms, departments and how quickly we get your content. The proposal gives the real dates. (confirm)
Remote lodges lose connection, so the system is planned so staff can keep entering sales and bookings and it syncs when the connection returns. We have built offline entry and sync in our Farmarq app, and we confirm what your lodge needs in the discovery call.
Mobile money and cards through Pesapal for online deposits, and staff record cash and mobile money taken at the lodge. Pesapal charges its own transaction fees; we show them in the proposal so nothing is a surprise.
Not by default. Bookings from Booking.com, WhatsApp, phone and walk-ins are entered by reception into the one calendar, so nothing is double-booked. If you need a channel link we scope it in the discovery call. (confirm)
Off-the-shelf software is fine if your lodge fits it. Lodgely is for owners who want the system set up around their rooms, departments, staff and mobile money, with the person who built it a WhatsApp message away. A website builder gives you a nice page, but your bookings and money still live in notebooks.
Payment is already split into 50% to start, 30% at a working prototype and 20% at handover. For larger projects, ask us about a payment plan. (confirm)
No. Everything in the demo and on this site is sample data for a sample lodge. We never show a real guest, payment or lodge without permission.
A short WhatsApp chat is enough to start. No obligation.
Leave a WhatsApp number or email and we will send you the demo link. Or check your lodge against our owner checklist.
