Hospitality

Today’s hotels are like mini city – a building of interconnected ecosystems that offer guests diverse experience options for their stay. It’s important for every staff department behind the scenes to be interconnected as well, incorporating technologies to create a high quality and unique guest experience that streamlines the front-of-house, staff, and behind the scenes operations.

Hotel operations can be separated into two groups - Front-of-House (FOH) and Back-of-House (BOH) operations. FOH employees are adept at dealing with customers face-to-face; the superior guest experience starts with a warm welcome upon a guest’s arrival at the front desk. There's no substitute or shortcut for a wonderful guest experience. But technology is changing the expectations and experiences of travelers around the world. When guests arrive at a hotel, they want to check-in quickly and make the most of their time, whether they are traveling for professional or leisure purposes. This means that all the steps of the check-in process - from issuing a card to the guest to them being able to access their room, swimming pool, spa, or other amenity - need to work flawlessly.

SALTO Hospitality has been developing advanced technologies and smart access control solutions that streamline hospitality operations and help hotels create an excellent guest experience. From mobile access and wireless online hotel locks to front desk management software, SALTO has developed specific add-ons which allow hotel clients to easily control all access and guest management needs with one easy-to-use system. SALTO’s hospitality access control platform suits hotels of all types and sizes and provides better utilization of hotel rooms, suites, and meeting space infrastructure. The result empowers hotel property operators the capability to integrate emerging technologies and applications that are transforming the guest stay via connectivity to guest room doors resulting in bringing more services into the guest experience.

The BOH is the behind-the-scenes and personnel areas that guests typically don’t interact with - the kitchen, storage areas, laundry room, business offices, etc. Hidden away, BOH acts as a central command center, keeping hotel operations moving smoothly and where employees work to provide an outstanding guest experience and enhance staff satisfaction. It’s essential to incorporate smart access control technology in BOH as well as FOH areas as, for starters, keeping guests out of these areas is an important way to enhance safety while also keeping property and personnel areas secure. SALTO not only controls and secures guest rooms, it can also be used to manage all BOH doors used by staff, visitors, and suppliers.

Keyless and mobile staff security controls pave the way for context-aware access and a safer staff member experience. Hotel operators can increase security and prevent fraud by improving control of staff access and management of employee access rights. Lost key instant cancellation gives staff (and guests) increased security and peace of mind. A productive hotel work environment with a secured access plan that protects staff and public areas works to keep everyone secure in the hotel ecosystem. Further advantages are gained by ensuring keyless ease-of-access throughout the hotel. This replaces the need for mechanical keys or non-flexible and connected access control solutions for hospitality.

SALTO has specific products like JustIN Mobile and SVN-Flex that provide a safe and convenient environment for guests, visitors, and staff and deliver the most up-to-date user access information for virtually all doors. Using solutions that can manage door access in real time enhances security and improves overall staff and guest flow throughout the hotel property.

SALTO hospitality smart access control solutions deliver an exponential increase in security, control, effectiveness, and convenience for hotel guests and staff. The communication between different access points around the hotel for both operations and guest room door locks flows in real-time on wireless online access points and much faster on offline points, resulting in the most up-to-date system available in the hospitality market for access control. Incorporating SALTO hospitality access control solutions can improve both the guest and staff experience, whether it’s in the front or back of house, delivering the potential to improve operations and increase the bottom line.

Salto Visitor Management System

Managing visitors in hospitality – or any commercial environment – is an essential access control activity traditionally handled through paper forms or guestbooks. Visitors sign in at the front hotel or security desk which involves time on behalf of the employee - and a wait for the guest - that can drastically impact staff performance and the guest experience.

Salto has a Visitor Management Module that streamlines visitor registration, tracking, and reporting and can drastically improve your visitor management while also elevating the guest experience.

How does it work Salto ProAccess SPACE?

The Salto ProAccess SPACE Visitor Management Module allows you to modernize your approach by taking the visitor management process to the next level: paperless, more efficient, flexible, and secure. ProAccess SPACE visitor management allows you to assign and create credentials for new visitors, assign physical access rights, and track visitor movements with ease. You can issue visitor cards for a few hours, a few days - or for something in between - and all with a built-in cancellation date that will disable the credential automatically when it expires. This solution delivers a more flexible and efficient check-in and check-out system that enhances security and also meets compliance mandates for the collection and auditing of visitor data.

ProAccess SPACE visitor management users quickly discover that the visitor management module is intuitive and reduces the time required to register new and returning visitors. Hotel staff can even save time and pre-register visitors via the simple web-based interface, making it easier for security staff or administration to swiftly check-in visitors when they arrive at the front entrance.

Because the visitor module is embedded within the Salto ProAccess SPACE web-based interface, your operators and staff can manage visitors alongside the other security activities they routinely conduct. And because it’s the same Salto software they are accustomed to, operators do not have to install and learn a separate visitor tool.

When evaluating how you can improve visitor management - and save time and money for your hotel - consider exploring what the ProAccess SPACE Visitor Management Module can do for your property and the guest experience.

How are hotel door locks powered?

Battery life is particularly important in an electronic access control solution that relies on battery-operated locks. If a user experiences product downtime due to dead batteries or gets frustrated with having to change batteries too frequently, they will likely choose not to use a battery-powered smart lock. This is rather unfortunate because the right battery-powered lock in an access control solution can improve both hotel efficiency and the guest experience.
 

Battery operated locks: the best solution for your hotel

Smart lock systems often contain many integrated circuits such as LED light-emitting signalling, RFID, and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) microcontroller with wireless and mobile connectivity or motor driver. Salto’s battery power technology for battery-operated locks offers a cost-effective and far superior solution than others in the market.

Many traditional building operators still use wired access control and are perhaps unaware that wireless systems use a lot less energy and are more secure when monitoring what's happening 24/7 at their property. Because wireless locks are battery powered and only "wake-up" when a guest or staff key card is presented, they consume less power than that used by hardwired online locks. Wireless electronic locks provide better cost, convenience, and aesthetics than a wired solution - achieving wired system benefits without the cost of a hardwired system. Plus, wire-free, battery-powered locks are easy to retrofit on the variety of doors used in a hospitality setting including guest rooms, amenities, and Back-Of-House (BOH) operations.
 

There’s also the question of sustainability. With many businesses evaluating their carbon footprint and impact on the environment, some might ask how using a battery-powered lock can complement a green commitment. How “green” is it to employ a battery-based system? There are significant cost savings in moving away from a reliance on electrical power. This of course lowers the carbon footprint. Additionally, batteries used in a battery-powered electronic access control system can be recycled resulting in further reduction of ones carbon footprint.

Salto SVN data-on-card

Salto’s electronic battery-powered locks provide an access control technology that - together with ProAccess SPACE front-desk management software - allows stand-alone Salto smart wireless hotel locks to update, store, and send the latest access information and lock battery status from a user’s and guest smartkey throughout the building - wirelessly and remotely - via SVN. This data is captured from a guest or staff member access credential that’s used at a wirelessly-networked smart lock or an online IP SVN access point that can be located at strategic points throughout the building.

The “updating access points” download and revalidate user-related access plan information that is then used to permit or deny access. This smart solution allows hotel employees to manage and secure access control for an entire hotel property right from the front-desk. They can check battery status (to optimize maintenance and battery life) and obtain user event information in just a few easy clicks.
 

Salto BLUEnet Wireless real-time

The advanced smart technology that Salto has integrated into every BLUEnet generation smart lock also permits battery status management and audit trail recovery in real-time via a Business Automation System (BAS) integration with Guest Room Management Systems (GRMS). Hotels can now integrate seamlessly with a wide variety of Salto wireless locks that bring intelligent and dependable automation for guest rooms and operating enhancements that provide the most reliable, cost-effective, and technologically-advanced guest room system. Salto BLUEnet wireless is designed for doors where real-time control is required and can be installed as an independent system or can complement SVN. It dramatically reduces the cost of installing additional updating points in an access control system yet provides the capability of adding updating points where required thanks to SVN-Flex technology. The options for affordable updating points are endless: perimetral doors, emergency exits, hall doors, gates equipped with mechanical cylinders and much more.

Salto JustIN Mobile

One of the primary benefits of a wire-free electronic access control solution is the ability to easily incorporate mobile access use into a hotel property. Mobile technology now plays a vital role in the hotel industry. The most recent data reveals that almost half of travel searches begin on a smartphone. And the booking process is just the start. The real technological magic can present itself when the guest arrives and checks in and gains access to their room only using their smartphone and a mobile application! In addition to supplying guests the capability to unlock a guest room door, Salto’s mobile app - JustIN Mobile - can send lock audit trail and battery status notifications directly to the front desk.

Hotels are now presented with the opportunity to use smart technology to create meaningful, customized experiences that enhance a guest’s entire stay. By incorporating the latest in technology to help hotels provide efficient and smart battery-powered electronic lock solutions, Salto helps hotels improve both operations and the guest experience.

SALTO Systems and INTEREL, the award-winning hospitality guest room management solution, today announced the integration of SALTO’s BLUEnet technology into INTEREL’s guest room control solutions, using BLE wireless radios to allow hotels to minimize their infrastructure investment, optimize energy consumption, and take advantage of SALTO’s next-generation products.

The new SALTO and INTEREL BLE integration replaces traditional ZigBee with SALTO’s BLUEnet wireless – a future-focused Bluetooth Low Energy technology.

INTEREL is one of the first guest room management solutions to integrate with SALTO’s BLUEnet Wireless Technology. Hotels can now integrate seamlessly with a wide variety of SALTO wireless locks that bring intelligent and dependable automation for guest rooms and operating enhancements that provide the most reliable, cost-effective, and technologically-advanced guest room system. SALTO BLUEnet wireless is designed for doors where real-time control is required and can be installed as an independent system or can complement the SALTO Virtual Network (SVN).

Incorporating mobile access into your premises without jeopardizing security is crucial to maintain safety. Flexibility is also crucial because users may not be using mobile credentials. Being able to mix and match systems, hardware and credentials is a must and is offer by Salto.

Traditionally, check-in process requires going to the front desk, showing ID and providing a credit card for room charges. Once guests are identified and all of their questions are answered, they’re provided with a plastic keycard and pointed towards the elevators or led to their room.

As SALTO Systems Vice President of Hospitality Sales, Michael Cline guides the continued growth and expansion of SALTO’s Hospitality Sales organization in the United States. He recently discussed key hospitality electronic access control topics including the importance of the mobile key and system security.

What does digital innovation and connected guests and staff mean for hoteliers?

Electronic access control has given hoteliers incredible opportunities in a variety of areas. Management can quickly and easily issue guest room access; the guest can even bypass the front desk and go directly to the room. Management can just as quickly and easily disable a room key if the need arises.

Smart electronic access control with smartphones or contactless cards helps hotels manage guest room access more efficiently, while also providing them with a wealth of information that can improve operations. Knowing when a guest isn’t in their room can give management an opportunity to save on electricity costs by automatically turning off lights and adjusting heating and air conditioning systems when the room isn’t in use. Creating reports on room access for amenities like spas or gyms can help management determine the best scheduling of staff for these areas.

There is a world of opportunity for improvements for guests and staff when it comes to implementing a wireless electronic locking solution and we are discovering more benefits every day.

How important is the mobile key? What should a hotelier look for in a solution?

Every hotel should incorporate mobile keys into their access control solution. The public – business travelers, in particular – now expects it.

Mobile key access provides benefits to both guests and hotel management. It makes travel more convenient for guests while improving operations for hoteliers. It provides guests with a hotel experience they value and want to repeat by facilitating their check-in without sacrificing their security and comfort. When selecting an access control solution for your hotel with mobile key technology, hoteliers must insist on a product that is, above all, secure. It should also provide instant key updates or key cancellations in the event the guest no longer should have room access. Mobile key management should use real-time access rights changes, audit trails, and blacklisting of lost keys. It should also ensure that no information is stored in the cloud and that any information collected or used is used only as a temporary bridge.

A mobile solution for hospitality must also be compatible with the variety of mobile devices and electronic lock products on the market and be able to integrate with existing hotel systems.

What are the key benefits of an electronic locking solution with mobile key technology?

Benefits include increased security and fraud prevention by improving control of staff access and management of their access rights; lost key instant cancellation for staff and guest security and peace of mind; and automatic guest key cancellation after check out for increased security.

Cutting-edge mobile technology, together with electronic wireless locking solutions, means the end of lost key hassles, expense, and waste. Guests open their room door and the app automatically sends confirmation that the door has been opened back to the front desk, even for doors equipped with offline electronic locks.

How do technology partners work together to enhance the guest and staff experience?

Access control is just one part of an overall security solution and management system. SALTO has long understood that to provide the most technologically-advanced electronic access control products we must partner with other Hospitality industry leaders to develop integrations that deliver a comprehensive – and seamless – solution for any hotel property type and size. SALTO has partnered with a number of Hospitality leaders to develop integrations including Inncom, Telkonet, Interel, Lutron, Ariane, Zaplox, OpenKey, Intelity (formerly KeyPR), Digivalet, StayNTouch, Monscierge, and multiple PMS providers.

What are the expected technology trends in electronic access control for the hospitality industry for 2019?

Access control is rapidly becoming about more than just electronic locks and security. It’s an opportunity to provide a better guest experience and improve hotel management. Because access control is a central part of the entire guest experience, it’s a way to increase customer satisfaction – which boosts the bottom line. If the guest can open their hotel room with a smartphone and use that same mobile app to check in, check out and make future reservations, then that positive experience is one that the guest will likely be influenced by when planning their next trip.

SBB has expanded its offer for the use of the SwissPass card in cooperation with SALTO Systems. Thanks to this cooperation, hotel guests in Switzerland will in future be able to use the SwissPass as a keycard for access to their hotel room.

The SwissPass card can be used for a variety of services such as Mobility Carsharing, PubliBike (a bicycle rental system throughout Switzerland), SchweizMobil, as a ski pass in many ski resorts, event ticket and means of payment. A brand-new feature is that it can also be used as a credential for hotel rooms.

With the purchase of the SwissPass Card Generator from SALTO, hosts have the opportunity to offer a unique service to the four million SwissPass customers. Because the SwissPass now also serves as a key card for parking, main and side entrances and, last but not least, guest rooms in hotels.

Thanks to the cooperation between SBB and SALTO Systems AG, hosts receive exclusive added value: the SwissPass is more than just a public transport subscription. It currently offers hotel guests access to over 70 partner services. This now also includes SALTO access control systems.

What a beautiful location for the HITEC Europe conference this week! The resort city of Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca served as the backdrop for HITEC, the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference, held April 9-11, 2019, at the Palau de Congressos de Palma.

HITEC shows are always a great opportunity for us to share our latest innovative electronic access control solutions to industry experts and connect with our technology partners. Not only are our electronic locks packed with advanced keyless and mobile technology inside, they are visually appealing on the exterior and can complement any hotel decor.

HITEC Europe represents an excellent opportunity to present SALTO’s broad product range that covers every corner of the access control spectrum in a hotel, from back-of-house organisation to guest services doors to guest room management. We know the hospitality industry, and we understand that it is more than just guest room management. This is why we participate in the HITEC Europe Hospitality conference - to share with industry professionals a complete product range especially made for hospitality.

Our Ælement Fusion Euro is the perfect example (and was very popular at HITEC Europe!). This RFID lock allows you to integrate all your physical security needs into one stylish, energy efficient, reliable, wire-free system. The Ælement Fusion Euro’s minimalistic design looks chic and discreet on any door and can be combined with a designer handle (that meets Euro-DIN and ANSI standards) for that polished look. The Ælement Fusion Euro-DIN model incorporates an innovative clutch assembly mechanism that enables a free turn of an outer design handle of a door for a latch assembly of the door lock. This allows the outer handle to rotate to open a door when the door is unlocked and to rotate freely when the door is locked so that the internal mechanism will not be damaged.

Another highlight at HITEC Europe was SALTO’s new SVN-FLex electronic locking technology. SVN-Flex is particularly suited for hospitality because it brings guest and staff credential updating directly to the door. This is extremely beneficial in that it enhances the guest experience, hotel management, security, IT and maintenance. For guests in particular, SVN-Flex provides a better keyless and mobile experience. For hotel management, it provides a safe and convenient environment for guests, visitors and staff by providing the most up-to-date user access information for virtually all doors in a hotel property.

HITEC Europe attendees were also treated to the latest version of SALTO ProAccess SPACE which is the biggest software release ever for SALTO Hospitality. One-hundred percent web-based and mobile capable, with powerful multitasking features, ProAccess SPACE is simple-to-use access control software for managing guest room locks, staff, visitors and doors. It includes functionalities such as mobile keys (BLE & NFC), group check-in, real-time re-rooming and real-time extended stay. These capabilities, plus other key hotel features, make it easy to control all offline and online guest rooms and back-of-house doors from one central location. SALTO ProAccess SPACE permits quick and fast guest check-ins, staff management, and includes advanced features like multiple wandering intruder detections, full HTML5 support, webcam support, improved audit trail filtering/reports and user experience concerning locations/functions in the front-end.

We had a great HITEC Europe and we look forward to seeing participants at the next HITEC event in the United States in Minneapolis, June 17-20.

Energy usage is one of the highest operating expenses the hotel industry incurs and remains the second-largest cost hotels have to contend with, right behind labor. The cost of electricity has risen drastically in the past few years and will only continue to rise. On average, 90% of wasted electricity usage comes from the guest room, which can be your property’s most unmanaged resource (a guest room Air Conditioning/Heating (HVAC) system can represent 70-90% of that wasted electricity). Conservation is quickly becoming the cheapest and easiest solution to the problem.

The Salto Universal ESD system allows hotels to optimize energy consumption by turning off lighting and adjusting climate control systems when guests are not in the room for long periods of time.

The hotel HVAC and lighting systems receive room status (occupied/unoccupied) from the sensors and, as a result, activate or deactivate the room’s lights, air conditioning or heater while maintaining a comfortable temperature (which is configured and preset by management). The maximum level of efficiency is reached if there is also a door or window sensor to differentiate between the use of air conditioning and lighting, depending on whether the windows are open or closed.

The system components and Salto’s Universal ESD ecosystem uses infrared detectors and advanced wireless technology. Installation and set up is very simple and reliable and can be accomplished in approximately 20 minutes, ensuring your guest rooms remain available for sale.

Reduction in electricity use can be easily evaluated and will vary by hotel depending on the facility size, climate, geographical location and other factors.

How does it works Salto energy saving device?

• Detects whether or not a guest room is occupied through information transmitted to the Universal ESD control module by the passive motion infrared detector and micro door sensor.
• When a guest room is occupied, the system allows the guest to have full control over all temperature settings and lighting.
• If the system detects an unoccupied guestroom, the operation becomes regulated by the control module, which initiates your customized energy-saving settings, i.e., temperature reduction, etc.
• Unoccupied guest room temperatures are pre-determined by hotel management, allowing control over electricity usage while maintaining maximum guest room comfort.
   

When the guest room is occupied

1. Guest enters the room and the door micro switch ‘knows’ the room is occupied.
2. Motion wireless detector detects movement.
3. System is in “occupied” mode, so the guest has full control of heating, cooling and lighting.

When the guest leaves the room unoccupied

1. Guest leaves the room and the door micro switch “knows” someone may have left the room.
2. Motion detector “looks” for movement for the next 60 minutes (or a duration set by property management). If movement is detected, the system remains in “occupied” mode.
3. If no movement is detected, the system goes into “unoccupied” mode, turns off the lights and sets the air conditioner or heater to a temperature preset by property management.

System features and benefits of Salto ESD

• Save 25-40% on air conditioning and heating costs.
• Does not compromise guest comfort.
• Wireless and battery-operated plug-and-play installation, regardless of construction type.
• Avoids unnecessary energy consumption when the guest is out (i.e., costly air conditioning cooling an empty room).
• 2 relay outputs – one for lighting and one for air conditioning.
• DIN rail fitting hardware for easy installation.
• Different configuration cards can configure the motion energy saver factory configuration to custom installation requirements.
