KohCiao Studio
Simple software for real work. Ciao!
I’m Matteo. I'm a Hostel Manager and Designer, and I build the tools I needed on the floor: for housekeepers, managers, technicians and companies of any size. Fewer useless features, more clarity and simplicity.
Principle 1
Simple first
If it needs a manual to be understood, it isn’t finished.
Principle 2
Warm, not casual
Friendly tone, precise substance: clear numbers, dates and User Experience.
Principle 3
Operator to operator
I work on the floor too. I'll always talk to you like a colleague, not like a vendor, I build things to fix issues.
The products
Three products, one way of working.
Each product has its own name and its own look. KohCiao Studio designs, builds and looks after all of them.
Bed-by-bed housekeeping for hostels and hotels. Housekeepers get their rooms on the phone; managers see every bed’s state, live.

The operations platform for all hostels and hotels: shifts, handovers, staff and the daily run of the house.

Field-service management for installation and maintenance companies: agenda, signed job reports, invoicing.

Brands, sites and tools, made to measure.
Alongside the products I take on a few client projects at a time. You work with me directly, from the first call to launch day.
Brand identity
Name, palette, type and tone of voice, packed into a brand book your team can actually use.
Logo design
A mark that works on a sign, a favicon and an invoice. Delivered in vector, in every format you need.
Websites
Fast, clear sites that bring in bookings and enquiries. Designed, built and kept online for you.
Custom management tools
The internal tool your team keeps asking for: shifts, stock, reports. Built around how you already work.
How a project goes
Four steps, no surprises.
Ciao
A short call: what you do, what isn’t working, what you need.
Proposal
Scope, price and dates in writing, before any work starts.
Preview
You review real designs and a live preview link, and ask for changes.
Launch
It goes live, and I stay around for fixes and the next idea.
