Traditional, outdated magstripe cards are quickly being replaced by smart cards meaning these improved cards allow greater functionality for user application. As the tourism and hospitality industry becomes incredibly competitive means hotels are constantly looking for ways to improve their customer experiences.

Smart cards can be used for more than one function, which means they are becoming increasingly popular within the hotel industry. A variety of different smart card systems can be installed into a hotel to allow them to run efficiently with the latest technology. But what Technology? This all depends on what you are trying to achieve as a company, whether that be to help customer service or staff to enhance all operations, and with the ability to update your system can put you one step ahead of your competition, meaning you can offer your visitors the best service they can possibly receive.

MULTI-PURPOSE FUNCTIONALITY

The amount of services offered by a hotel means your technology should reflect that and be able to accommodate a number of different functions. Your hotel will no doubt have everything from a restaurant to a leisure centre and of course, several rooms which means that your hotel could benefit from one system which enables you to monitor all facilities and services within your company.

By simply implementing one smart card system into your hotel’s existing services, you will have the ability to streamline everything. The smart card that is programmed to use in the hotel room, can also be programmed for access to  other areas including the restaurant, leisure centre and more.

 

STREAMLINING YOUR SERVICES

Having a working smart card system can cover a number of functions within your hotel. Not only does a smart card allow and restrict customers from areas of the building, but it can also be used for cashless vending – whether that means loading up the card and charging the card to be paid at a later date.

For example, if they have a mini bar in their room, you will have the ability to offer them an cashless vending on the same card that they use to access different areas of the building including their room. You can use smart cards as a way to generate revenue at the same time, allow your customer to have an easier and convenient experience whilst they are within your premises.

Various loyalty programmes, or even memberships to your hotel can be set up to allow you to build up a community of customers and ensure that they are returning. All customers love a little bonus whether they are on a business trip or pleasure and providing a loyalty point system that can also work through your built in smart card system can be a positive for everyone.
