The most important purpose of a hotel’s security system is to provide a convenient, comfortable, safe, and secure experience for guests throughout their stay. Participants within the hospitality industry are seeking ways to remain competitive and deliver the optimal guest experience.
Makstech can install and support standalone access control solutions customized to work within your existing infrastructure. We can also integrate other systems, such as energy management, into your access control system to further decrease operating expenses.
New technologies are one way that owners can differentiate their properties in today’s environment where smartphones are prevalent and mobile access presents new opportunities for driving business to your hotel. Physical keys have been replaced with rewritable plastic key cards and digital keys used via smartphone. Improvements can be achieved in both guest experiences and in hotel operations, a win-win for hotel operators.
In addition to hotels and resorts, the enhanced technology offered by access control solutions also brings unprecedented levels of efficiency in property management to other campus environments such as residential buildings.

MUCH MORE THAN A GUEST ROOM LOCK

Staff Productivity
When you can modify an employee’s access quickly and without redistributing hotel key cards, you increase productivity. A centralized system for access control enables operators to turn on or turn off access for any given entry point without the need to go to the door where the lock is. By reviewing historical data, you can measure the time employees spend at different activities; for example, how long it takes to clean a guest room.

Security
You can track who passes through every entry/exit point as well as the location of everyone that has access to the property. You can track who’s getting in and out. Guests gain peace of mind knowing there is a digital trail of who enters their room.

Guest Convenience
You can provide access to guests using physical keys such as access cards or wristbands, as well as digital keys that can be stored on a guest’s smartphone. You’re not worried about the loss of physical keys. These can be remotely disabled from the central system if necessary and upon guest checkout.

USING ACCESS CONTROL INTEGRATION TO INCREASE PROFITABILITY

Nearly every industry has been impacted by the Internet of Things (IoT), and hospitality is no exception. By integrating different systems within a guest room, hoteliers can increase profits and improve the guest experience. For example:
- As a guest enters a room, the room comes to life automatically — the lights turn on, the temperature adjusts to a comfortable setting, and the window coverings open.
- As a guest leaves the room, lights are turned off and any faucets left running are automatically turned off.
