Hospitality has always been about creating seamless and memorable guest experiences. Today, technology is raising that bar even higher. Guests expect convenience, safety, and personalization at every step of their stay — from check-in to check-out. Two innovations are rapidly becoming industry standards: keyless entry and voice concierge.

Together, they are redefining what modern hospitality looks like.

Why the Shift is Happening

1. Guest Expectations Have Changed
   Travelers are increasingly digital-first. They want contactless, secure, and personalized services without unnecessary delays.
2. Operational Efficiency
   Hotels and resorts are under pressure to do more with fewer resources. Automating check-in and service requests reduces staff workload while improving guest satisfaction.
3. Health and Safety
   Contactless solutions like mobile keys and voice services align with post-pandemic guest preferences for hygiene and minimal touchpoints.

Keyless Entry: Secure, Seamless Access

• Mobile Keys: Guests can unlock their rooms using their smartphone, avoiding traditional plastic key cards.
• Integration with PMS: Keys are automatically activated upon check-in and deactivated at check-out.
• Compatibility with Major Locks: Works with systems like Dormakaba, Salto, and Assa Abloy.
• Enhanced Security: Digital keys reduce risks of lost or cloned cards.

Voice Concierge: Personalizing the In-Room Experience

• Comfort Controls: Guests adjust lighting, air conditioning, curtains, and entertainment via voice.
• Dining & Services: Guests place room service orders, book spa appointments, or request housekeeping without lifting a finger.
• Upselling Opportunities: Voice recommendations encourage upgrades, packages, or loyalty programs.
• Multilingual Support: Catering to global travelers with ease.

The Power of Combining Both

Keyless entry and voice concierge together create a frictionless guest journey:

1. Guests check in online and receive a digital key.
2. Upon entering their room, the voice concierge greets them.
3. Throughout their stay, all comfort, dining, and services are handled by voice commands.
4. At check-out, the key deactivates automatically, and guests can leave feedback by voice.

This integration not only delights guests but also streamlines hotel operations, reducing costs and enhancing efficiency.

Business Benefits for Hotels and Resorts

• Stronger Guest Loyalty: Memorable, hassle-free experiences improve satisfaction and repeat bookings.
• Revenue Growth: Upselling and cross-selling through voice increases guest spending.
• Brand Differentiation: Offering modern, contactless solutions sets properties apart in a competitive market.
• Operational Savings: Reduced dependency on manual check-in, key card management, and service calls.
