Leipzig, Germany, September 2024 – HotelFriend proudly announces the latest addition to its integration list: the Nuki Smart Door Lock System. This new collaboration offers both hotel operators and guests a seamless, secure, and highly convenient way to manage room and facility access directly through HotelFriend's all-in-one Property Management System (PMS) and Mobile Concierge app.
With the Nuki integration, hotel guests can now remotely unlock doors via the HotelFriend Concierge app, enhancing the guest experience with keyless, contactless entry. This further empowers hoteliers to streamline operations, providing even more automation capabilities for hotel management.
The Nuki Smart Lock is fully integrated into the HotelFriend software suite. It allows for remote door control for guest rooms as well as designated common areas throughout the property, ensuring a smooth access solution for guests.
Enabling smartphone-controlled hotel experience
With the Nuki Smart Lock integration, hotel guests no longer need physical keys or cards. Instead, a simple tap on the "open door" button in the guest's smartphone allows them to enter the room, hotel lobby, co-working spaces, dining areas, or SPA.
The smart lock system ensures that access is only granted during the guest's stay, with doors automatically locking upon check-out, excluding the need for traditional key cards.
The main benefits of Nuki Smart Locks for hotels feature:
● Smart door access
In the Concierge App, a door opening button appears in the guest’s booking interface, allowing them to open locks within the timeframe of their reservation.
● Customizable lock control
Guests will see a list of available locks for their assigned rooms and shared spaces, making it simple to navigate and enter hotel facilities.
● Seamless check-in and check-out management
Access permissions are automatically granted and revoked based on the guest’s time of stay, ensuring smooth arrivals and departures of travelers.
Security and privacy as a priority
Nuki’s smart lock system provides maximum security, thanks to its end-to-end encryption, and has been independently verified by security institutes like AV-TEST. Guest privacy is a priority, with no user account required for using Nuki within Bluetooth range or via Wi-Fi, ensuring sensitive data remains secure.
For hotel operators, Nuki’s solutions are also scalable, with the ability to add or expand locking systems as needed. Features like Auto Unlock, which unlocks doors automatically as guests approach, provide further convenience.
This integration aligns perfectly with HotelFriend’s mission to provide cutting-edge, fully customizable solutions for hospitality properties, and empower owners to upgrade their guest experience.
