GEST Call System

Managing a private residence, or a portfolio of them, means juggling requests from every direction: maintenance, housekeeping, guests, family members, vendors. Every day brings a stream of things that need attention, and every one of them reflects on you if it is missed. Staff rely on scattered messages, phone calls, and memory to keep track of what needs doing. You rely on staff to tell you what happened. Somewhere in that chain, things get lost.

GEST replaces that chain with one system. Every request is logged the moment it comes in, assigned to the right person, and tracked through to completion. Nothing sits forgotten in someone’s inbox or gets mentioned once and never followed up. You get a clear, real time picture of what is happening across every property under your care, without having to ask.

Built for environments where failure is not an option.

GEST did not start as generic property software adapted for luxury homes. It started on superyachts, where a missed request is not a minor inconvenience, it is a service failure in front of the very people you answer to. On a yacht there is no room for “it must have slipped through,” and the system was built with that standard from day one.

That same standard now powers private residences and family office portfolios on land. The environment changes, the expectation does not. If a system holds up under the demands of a superyacht in open water, it holds up in a private residence.

What GEST gives you

Full visibility across every property

See every open request, who is handling it, and its current status, whether you manage a single residence or a portfolio spread across countries. Requests are organised by property, by priority, and by the person responsible, so you can move from a broad overview down to a single task in a few clicks. No more chasing staff for updates by phone, and no more piecing together what actually happened after the fact.

Effortless for your household staff

Your team should not need a training manual to log a request. GEST is built so staff can pick it up in minutes on their own device, whether that is a phone in a pocket or a tablet at a front desk. The less time staff spend learning software, the more time they spend delivering the standard of service your household expects.

Reliable, every time

GEST is designed for high demand, high expectation environments where things simply have to work. There is no version of “the system was down” that is acceptable when a principal or family member is waiting on a response. That reliability, proven on superyachts, is the same reliability you get on land.

Grows with you

Start with GEST on its own to bring order to service requests, then connect it with the wider YachtCloud suite as your needs expand, from access management to crew and staff coordination. Everything is modular by design: add what you need, when you need it, without ripping out what already works.

For Property/House Managers and Family Office

You are accountable for outcomes across every asset under your care, not just the one directly in front of you. When a principal asks what is happening at a property you have not visited this week, the answer needs to be immediate and accurate, not “let me check and get back to you.”

GEST gives you a single, consistent layer of oversight across your entire portfolio. Every request, at every property, follows the same structure, so you can answer with confidence at any time, without relying on separate systems, phone calls, or memory to piece together the current state of things. For a family office managing several residences, or a property management company overseeing a wider portfolio, that consistency is what turns oversight from a constant effort into a simple habit.

Proven where standards are highest

GEST is trusted on some of the world’s most demanding superyachts, where every request matters and every detail is noticed by owners and guests alike. Built by a team with a genuine background in yachting, GEST was never a generic system adapted for the industry, it was designed around how service actually works in high end environments from the outset.

That same foundation now serves private residences and multi property portfolios, bringing the same discipline and the same attention to detail to a different setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GEST?

GEST is a service request and task management system, originally built for superyachts and now available for private residences and multi property portfolios. It gives staff one place to log requests and gives managers and owners full visibility into what is happening and when.

Who is GEST for?

Property managers, family offices, house managers, and household staff who need a reliable way to track requests across one property or several. It is equally useful for a single large residence and for a portfolio spread across multiple locations.

Does GEST replace household staff?

No. GEST supports the people delivering service, it does not replace them. The goal is to remove the administrative burden of tracking requests by hand, so staff can focus on the service itself rather than on logging it.

Can GEST handle more than one property?

Yes. GEST is built to give consistent oversight across a portfolio, whether that is two residences or a wider set of properties managed by a family office or property management company. Every property follows the same structure, so oversight scales without added complexity, all managed via GEST Portal Manager.

How long does it take for staff to learn?

GEST is designed to be picked up in minutes, not hours. Most staff are comfortable logging and managing requests after a short introduction, without formal training.

Does GEST integrate with other systems?

GEST works well on its own and can also connect with the wider YachtCloud suite, including access management and staff coordination tools, as your needs grow. It is modular, so you are never required to adopt more than you need. GEST has an open API to integrate with any control system.

Is GEST secure?

Yes. GEST is built with the same reliability standards used on superyachts, where dependable and secure systems are a requirement, not an option.

“After testing pretty much every system available, I’ve found OMNIYON certainly the easiest to use. The ability to combine personal content with recognised TV shows and movies is something most other systems struggle to offer, while the YachtCloud team are a pleasure to work with. I look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.”

“We have seen a significant increase in our productivity since using LaundryBoard, saving one hour per day on average during charter. The entire laundry management and handover across shifts are seamless. LaundryBoard is an essential onboard tool for an accountable yacht interior and we are delighted with it.”

“OMNIYON comes with a simple, smooth and ready-to-go User Interface that was missing in our market. The smart software behind this takes care of all control and entertainment, and it integrates nicely with existing control system gear. The merging of Live TV & Control is amazing. Everybody can do, saves us lots of time and the client is very happy.”

GEST has been a great addition to our operation. The system allows guests to request service, drinks, or anything they need through dedicated buttons, while also giving them complete privacy when they prefer not to be disturbed. It creates a smooth, intuitive experience and adds a very professional touch on board.

“The innovative product range from the likes of OMNIYON, GEST and SYMETRIC make the industry’s norm look incredibly dated and dull. YachtCloud is excellent at taking a current solution, redesigning that solution to be intuitive and feature-rich. We are proud to be partners alongside the revolution that’s happening at Yachtcloud.”
