devicethread® just announced that it is collaborating with Cloudbeds, the leading hospitality management platform redefining the concept of PMS for the industry, to enable a next generation ‘contactless check-in’ experience. devicethread®'s innovative solution provides the ability to seamlessly integrate smart IoT infrastructure with the Cloudbeds platform, enabling delightful guest and staff experiences in hotels and short-term rentals.
For hotel front office staff, the familiar Cloudbeds PMS (Property Management System) is where they spend the bulk of their workday. Checking in guests or managing reservations are just some of the activities that the front-desk staff manages through Cloudbeds. A growing number of properties are also enabling self check in for guests through the Whistle for Cloudbeds mobile app.
With devicethread® now integrated with Cloudbeds, guests receive a simple code (via email or text) to enter into the digital lock on their room door. If a guest checks in early, late, changes their room, cancels their stay or even extends their stay, all of those modifications are easily accommodated through this new integration. Additionally, guest access control to the room and other hotel or property facilities would be linked to their stay.
For hotel (or short-term rental property) staff and owners, this integration would enable easy control of the digital IoT infrastructure, starting with locks, but easily extendable to other smart devices.
devicethread® automatically monitors the door lock infrastructure and this seamless integration ensures that a guest will always find their working door code, ensuring uninterrupted key delivery. Guests will no longer experience a lockout scenario, ever!
Properties such as hostels or other shared accommodations can also benefit from this integration as it allows guests to start their stay with an easy check-in process that sets the tone for a welcoming stay.
