Improving Efficiency: How igloohome Digital Locks Helps Automating Hotel Operations

For property owners and vacation home managers, the key handover process can be a recurring pain point. Managing this task means dedicating time, resources, and most times even paying staff to coordinate guest arrivals

Today, the demand for a more streamlined solution is growing. Introducing unmanned hotel operations—an approach that eliminates these challenges by adopting igloohome digital lock technology for automated access.

Automated Hotel Operations with Digital Locks

Automating hotel operations through smart locks can be a game-changer. By replacing physical keys with time-sensitive PIN codes via a mobile device, hotels and vacation homes can operate without needing staff on-site for check-ins.

Guests will receive access codes directly to their smartphones, thus eliminating the need for personal handovers. These access codes are valid only during the guests' stay and automatically expiring at check-out time to ensure security.

Improve Efficiency and Heighten Security

The efficiency gains from this system are significant. Automated access saves time for both guests and property owners, allowing visitors to check in independently, even during late hours. 

With igloohome smart locks, there’s also no risk of key duplication. Additionally, the automation ensures an added layer of security by controlling access, setting up the PIN code duration, and the unique PIN code that can’t be duplicated.

From check in to check out, guests can enjoy a more convenient experience.

Success Story: Tech-Driven Access Solutions in Hospitality

Several hotel chains are already leading the way in using smart access for unmanned operations. An example is Tiny Pod, a pioneer in sustainable and movable hotels in Singapore. They have embraced igloohome locks for its properties, including the renowned Garden Pod at Gardens by the Bay.

Tiny Pod uses igloohome Smart Keybox 3. With this, guests are given a PIN code to unlock the Keybox that stored the room keys. 

"We do not need to be around, so the guest can do a self-check-in. The PIN code and the lock work without being in a Wi-Fi zone or needing any internet connection," explains Liang Chiang, CEO of Tiny Pod Singapore.

igloohome digital locks enhance efficiency in co-living spaces and boutique hotels, especially in Singapore, where managing multiple tenants and guests without full-time staff poses a logistical challenge.

By implementing igloohome’s secure, flexible access solutions, these spaces can offer autonomous, easy access to residents and guests, simplifying the management of multiple units or shared spaces and allowing staff to focus on higher-priority tasks.

Conclusion

By adopting igloohome digital locks, hotels and vacation homes alike can save money, enhance security, and improve guest satisfaction. Not only improve their efficiency, this innovation also offers property managers a reliable, efficient alternative to traditional check-in practices to create a smooth experience for everyone involved.
