The Silicon Valley location of The Row means that staff is expensive, hard to find and difficult to retain. Industry changes have resulted in wages for staff doubling in the most recent 3 year period.

High attrition means that any technology must be secure and the scarcity of labor requires that technology help them be more productive.

Guests have high expectations that the technologies they use at home need to be present in hotels and must work seamlessly to provide a friction free experience.

devicethread^® SmartCloud provides a hospitality focused platform enabling smart IoT devices to be incorporated into business processes.

devicethread^® SmartAccess eliminates the need for physical key cards and support a wide variety of smart locks from pinpad to BLE. The property is much more secure since there is no lost card. Codes for employees who have left are instantly deactivated.

Operations for battery replacement can be planned due to real time and nightly reports from devicethread^®.

Eliminating key cards saves $0.25 per card.

Ensuring that key codes are guaranteed to be present in each lock means ensuring a smooth guest experience.

Battery level reports means the ability to plan operations and only perform work where necessary.

This automation eliminates at least 1 FTE from the front desk and enables the staff to be more guest focused.

Pommier had installed smart locks to provide the convenience - typical of airbnbs.

Consequently, they partnered with Cloudbeds as a PMS solution and tried two (Lynx and Jarvis) smart access management solutions but were disappointed with both the lack of features that allowed them to offer full contactless check in and the cost of the solutions.

After a brief evaluation, Hotel Pommier decided to switch to Devicethread's SmartAccess solution, which provided a true frictionless, contact-less check-in process for their guests.

"I was blown away with the speed and responsiveness of devicethread^® 's solution in terms of syncing reservation with codes into the locks. It was instantaneous. You guys offer the best of both of those platforms and at a much lower cost"

The Aavgo platform can support both hotels with RFID locks (in which case the platform issues key cards) or hotels with smart locks.

Guests increasingly prefer a friction free, contactless checkin experience which is only possible with smart locks.

However there is a great deal of variation in the lock hardware as well as the platforms that the lock hardware connects to, making it a challenge for Aavgo to scale their business across properties

devicethread^® SmartCloud provides a hospitality focused platform enabling smart IoT devices to be incorporated into business processes.

Integrating with the devicethread^® SmartCloud platform enables Aavgo to interact with the infrastructure through a single, simple API regardless of the underlying lock hardware or connectivity platform.

devicethread^®’s API abstracts Aavgo from all the underlying complexity of the infrastructure at any hotel, thus making deployment simple

devicethread^®’s also future proof’s Aavgo by constantly expanding the list of supported platforms and devices enabling Aavgo to expand their reach across customers.

Guests are increasingly demanding a frictionless, contactless check-in experience.

While this demand can be met only smart locks, there is a great deal of variation in the lock hardware as well as the platforms that the lock hardware connects to, making it a challenge for Cloudbeds to seamlessly scale their business across properties

Hotels increasingly are looking for smart device automation solutions to respond not so single solution exists

devicethread^® SmartCloud provides a hospitality focused platform enabling smart IoT devices integrated into business processes.
