How will COVID 19 affect the sector?
Studies have shown that the sector will need at least eight months to recover 50% of its business activity. In addition to occupation and liquidity related problems, the sector also faces an insecurity problem due to collective psychosis regarding a potential infection, which is why hostels must adapt their facilities and processes to this new security scenario, since hostels and chains that manage conveying an effective security message to their guests will have much to gain from the challenging return awaiting the sector.

How can mobile key help me?
Mobile key technology allows us to open the door of our room, activate the elevator or open any other hostel access with our mobile phone.
As already has chains like Marriot or Hilton, mobile key is a technology to be taken into account when returning to activity, because it minimizes human interaction and contact with potentially infected surfaces, which in turn transmits a sense of security to guests.
Mobile Key Problems
What are the main problems with Mobile Key?
When it comes to implementing Mobile Key technology, hotels are faced with three main problems:
1
2
3
Changing locks: In most cases, hostels are forced to replace all locks for new ones, in addition to ensuring that they work perfectly to avoid future problems.
Different locks: In terms of chains, the problem of changing locks is further aggravated as they discover that they have to deal with different lock suppliers in their various hostels, complicating deployment throughout the chain and increasing project costs.
Software: Deployment must be accompanied by a software layer that makes deployment viable and guarantees compliance with current legislation on issuing and sending traveler's reports, ensure the collection of reservations, to avoid possible chargebacks and validate the guest's identity.
How to solve the problem?
How does STAYmyway solve these problems?
STAYmyway has developed a solution that allows the deployment of Mobile Key technology in a hostel or a chain in a quick and affordable way, because it does not force the hostel to change the locks, as one simply has to update them with the STAYmyway modules.
1
The lock can be opened with any mobile phone.
2
The cards will continue to work, as the system does not interfere with the functioning of the lock.
3
It is compatible with any make and model of lock, including ASSA ABLOY, ONITY, SALTO, TESA, DORMAKABA, OMNITEC, among others.
These small electronic modules are connected inside the lock in less than 5 minutes and once connected:
Once the system is installed (which can be done by the hostel's own maintenance team as it is very similar to changing batteries ), the hostel will be able to choose whether to work with the STAYmyway app, with a customized app with its corporate image or if they have an app already in place, integrating the libraries that we provide for Android and iOS, and activating PMS, Opera, Sihot, Protel, Zeus, Master Yield, LEAN, view complete list.
