Give your guests a digital key without downloading an app

WebKeys: smooth, seamless, and contactless intelligent access control solution to enhance the guest experience. No APP download is needed. 

The hospitality industry is constantly evolving, and technology is increasingly becoming essential to enriching guest experiences. As the industry gets more data-driven and customer-centric, hotels need to keep up with the shifting customer preferences, emerging trends, and new technological innovations. Guests now expect to enjoy fast and easy digital solutions during their stay – customer satisfaction will inevitably drop otherwise.

In recent years, one of the most significant advancements has been the introduction of NFC and Bluetooth digital key technology: they have eliminated the need for physical credentials or plastic cards. Instead, guests are provided with a secure keyless and contactless digital experience. 

With the transformation of hospitality well underway, SALTO Systems is excited to announce the WebKeys release with our technology partner FLEXIPASS, a leading provider of Keyless Guest Experience solutions. Through this collaboration, we aim to revolutionise the hospitality industry in much more than a keyless mobile experience.

The rise of keyless and digital smart access solutions in hospitality

Traditionally, hotels and resorts have relied on physical smart cards or key cards to grant access to guest rooms, often leading to inconveniences such as lost keys or long check-in processes. Digital key technology has emerged as a game-changer: it allows guests to access their rooms using their smartphones or smartwatch devices – all contact-free. While this technology has been available for some time, the COVID-19 pandemic boosted its popularity and accelerated its adoption in the hospitality industry, bringing keyless access control to the mainstream.

This high-tech hotel lock system enhances convenience while improving security and guest satisfaction. Smart, keyless, and digital access technology provides a simple and modern access option that guests anticipate now more than ever. The implementation of digital keys or key cards gives guests the safe, instant, and hassle-free access they deserve.

The Top 5 benefits of our WebKeys access control solution

Combining easy-access digital keys and smart guest rooms with unified property management systems that protect individuals and assets is a unique challenge for every hospitality business – from luxury to midscale hotels, independent to convention and conference hotels. But, with our new WebKeys access control solution, you can help guests feel safer, optimise operations, and effortlessly onboard smart access management into your existing processes.

1. Seamless guest experience. With WebKeys access control, guests can unlock their rooms using smartphones without ever installing an app. They no longer need to wait in long queues to check in or worry about losing physical keys. This easy, frictionless experience sets a positive tone right from the beginning of their stay.
    
2. Enhanced security. WebKeys access control eliminates the risks associated with physical guest key cards. Instead, guests can securely access their rooms using their smartphones. Additionally, access permissions can be easily managed, allowing hotel staff to grant or revoke access remotely.
    
3. Hotel operations efficiency.
   By eliminating the need for physical key management and traditional check-ins, hotels can streamline and optimise their operations. This allows staff members to dedicate their time to more essential tasks and provide a true welcome to new guests. Moreover, with real-time access control data, hotel management gains valuable insights into guest room status or needs.
    
4. Sustainability and cost savings. Moving away from physical keys reduces the environmental impact of one-time plastic key card production and disposal. Moreover, hotels can save costs associated with key card printing and replacement.
    
5. Drive guest loyalty. Smartphone usage is now almost universal, and WebKeys access control offers guests the convenience of smart, contactless hotel locks that open with just the click of a button. This can encourage guest loyalty – they will opt for the easy, reliable choice and book in hotels that ensure their overall satisfaction.

The future of Hospitality technology 

As the hospitality industry continues to embrace technological advancements, the integration of WebKeys access control systems marks a significant milestone. Through our partnership with FLEXIPASS, we are at the forefront of this transformation, empowering hotels and resorts to deliver a seamless, frictionless, and keyless digital experience to their guests. The future in hospitality is bright, and hotels should embrace innovations that improve the lives of staff and guests alike.

The collaboration between SALTO’s technology platform and FLEXIPASS brings forth a new era of convenience, security, and operational efficiency in the hospitality industry. By implementing WebKeys access control, hotels can optimise their operations, strengthen security measures, and elevate the guest experience overall. We are proud to be part of this technological revolution and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the industry as a whole.
