This innovation includes cloud-based mobile keys, which have replaced traditional keys and key cards, enhancing both convenience and security. By integrating their cloud-based PMS with IoT-enabled locks, the hotel now offers 24-hour check-in, resulting in reduced wait times and simplified administrative tasks, while enabling remote access management. Hotel Sct. Thomas' journey of innovation promises an elevated guest experience.
Why it matters: The significance of installing smart mobile keys at Hotel Sct. Thomas lies in the ability to enable remote access management and self-check-in. This implementation provides guests with greater autonomy and reduces the hotel's reliance on staff for the check-in process. The result is heightened guest autonomy, allowing them to access their accommodations at their convenience, thereby reducing wait times. Additionally, this transition to mobile key technology enhances operational efficiency by liberating staff from routine check-in tasks, enabling them to focus on delivering more personalized service. This pivotal advancement not only simplifies operations but also bolsters security and convenience, ultimately benefiting both guest satisfaction and hotel management.
  • Our smart mobile key system has eliminated the need for a night manager on-site for hotel check-ins and nighttime access. In the event of lost access to the email containing the digital key, our system allows for efficient remote management of access rights. This innovation at Hotel Sct.
