Hospitality has been among the most negatively impacted industries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, SALTO Systems, in particular, and the access control industry, in general, have been developing products and solutions that are designed to facilitate a contactless and safer guest stay. Our solutions can help hospitality get through this current crisis and will be there to help in the future, should another pandemic occur.
SALTO’s facilitates a contactless hotel stay via a variety of third-party mobile application solutions that allow guests to unlock and access their guest room via a smartphone. Integrator partners include Zaplox, Hudini, OpenKey, Intelity, Phunware and Runtriz as well as hotel third-party platforms that leverage the SALTO JustIN mobile app SDK.
But if contact has to be made, SALTO provides additional protection. Through a longstanding partnership with BioCote®, SALTO offers the option to add antimicrobial protection on every single lock. BioCote has been tested and proven to deliver 99.9% protection against an array of microbes which can help with the current pandemic and can also help hotels combat seasonal flu and similar outbreaks.
In the event of extended lockdowns, opening businesses back up, and other pandemic-related compliance, SALTO’s ProAccess SPACE management software can provide valuable information that can assist in these efforts. Our solutions inherently provide more data than others, and can provide it for every door. With this data, contact tracing can quickly and effectively be used to help minimize exposures due to the pandemic.
Because SALTO has invested decades in researching and developing the latest in access control technology, we are well-equipped to help hospitality during pandemic times deliver contactless solutions, offer antimicrobial protection and aid in any contact tracing or government compliance efforts. Together, we will get through the pandemic and will be better prepared for any similar issues that might arise in the future.
