By Siddartha Butalia | 19 December 2023
At Igloohome, we are enabling seamless guest experiences by integrating our cutting-edge smart locks with an innovative solution provided by Chekin. Together, we have created an exceptional online check-in and remote access experience that is set to redefine the way guests interact with their accommodations.
With our state-of-the-art affordable hardware, we empower owners and managers of tourist accommodations to optimize their operations. Our smart locks power Chekin’s online workflows by providing guests secure, unique and temporary pincodes for the duration of their stay. No more hassle of physical keys or complicated check-in procedures. With igloohome's smart locks, guests can now enjoy a hassle-free and contactless check-in experience.
As schedules become more flexible and dynamic, the tourism industry is experiencing a shift from traditional high and low seasons to year-round occupancy by a diverse range of visitors. Consequently, vacation rental owners must adapt to manage highly dynamic and constantly changing schedules.
The traditional process of physically handing over keys can be inefficient and detrimental to business. That's why our integration with Chekin is a perfect solution. It empowers vacation rental owners with remote access management capabilities.
