SLA Rules
SLA Rules define how quickly requests must be handled. If a request is not picked up or not completed within the time you set, managers receive a notification — so late work does not slip through.
How do I open this screen? From the left menu, go to Bumerang → BUSINESS → SLA Rules. (It is the same screen as the SLA Rules tab in Request Management.)

The engine checks every 5 minutes, so a breach turns into a notification within five minutes at most.
Add Rule
- Request type: which type the rule applies to — All, Room Cleaning, Fault, Extra, Room Service, Late Checkout, Early Check-in.
- Stage: which stage the timer runs against. Two options:
- If not picked up (pending) — nobody has taken ownership. Catches requests staff never saw.
- If not completed (open) — taken but not finished. Catches jobs that are dragging on.
- Duration (min): after how many minutes the notification is sent.
- Also send SMS (to manager's phone): sends the notification by SMS as well as in the panel. Recommended for critical types such as faults.
A recommended starting setup
- Fault + if not picked up + 10 min + SMS — technical problems need the fastest response.
- Room Service + if not completed + 30 min — guest dissatisfaction grows quickly when food is late.
- Room Cleaning + if not picked up + 45 min — a reasonable buffer for floor operations.
Keep the number of rules small. Too many rules generate constant notifications, and before long nobody reads them.
