SECURITY SYSTEMS

Opening the door to convenient and cost effective check-ins

» IN TODAY ’ S LANDSCAPE where reduced touch-points and low operating costs are nothing short of paramount , security expert Mul-T-Lock is offering a tailored access control solution to all hotel , holiday park and short-break property owners .
SMARTair ® is a modular and fully scalable access control system that offers an intelligent , yet simple , step up from keys . For hotels and home rental properties in particular , SMARTair ® will replace inconvenient keys with a wireless locking system operated by smartcards and even smartphones when used in conjunction with Mul- T-Lock ’ s Openow™ app .
With so many businesses in the leisure and tourism industry needing to cut operational costs and provide a safe and hygienic service to customers , SMARTair ® does away with the need for manned receptions and touchscreens by putting the onus of checking in right in guests ’ hands , with security still being closely monitored and operated by system managers .
With SMARTair ®, lost cards can be cancelled and replacement cards reprogrammed for increased guest security . The system can be tailored to meet each building ’ s needs and can be reprogrammed using the latest in access control management software as those needs evolve , without having to replace any physical locking systems – making it a cost effective and straightforward solution for all hospitality venues .
With no hardwiring , the system can be installed at low cost with minimal disruption to a business . Designated system managers can also monitor and control access rights – allowing guests access when needed and revoking access once they check-out . The SMARTair ® product portfolio also includes energy saving devices for mounting on guest room walls and in-room safes .
By utilising the Openow™ app , business owners , facilities managers and security administrators can instantly send , revoke or update virtual keys from the designated SMARTair ® software or web browser allowing guests to access properties and rooms via their smartphone .
System managers can be anywhere in the world when controlling access rights ; making the whole process more convenient and secure for everyone . This also significantly reduces whole life costing , as it removes the need to replace key cards when they are lost or accidently taken home by guests .
‘ the perfect solution for hotels and holiday parks with a high volume of visitors ’
An added bonus , Openow™ makes it easy for business owners to organise virtual keys inside the app , check how long they are valid , and protect them further with an individual PIN . If they have virtual keys from multiple sites or premises , Openow™ easily handles those too , with no time wasted wondering where key cards were left and no more appointments to pick them up or have them revalidated .
Mul-T-Lock ’ s SMARTair ® system with Openow™ app is the perfect solution for hotels and holiday parks with a high volume of visitors and subcontractors . It is built for businesses where third-party contractors are always on-site , hospitality venues that offer rooms for hire and boutique hotels or home rental with no manned receptions .
