The ever increasing capabilities of technology has ushered in a new era of contactless check-in and check-outs within the hotel industry. Due to intuitive smartphone apps and automated systems guests can now book, check-in and check-out of hotel or Airbnb style accommodation without any human interaction.
Whilst this model is being widely adopted across the hospitality sector due its efficient and seamless nature, this transition has presented travellers with a new challenge: what happens when guests want to check-in or out but need a secure place to store their luggage?
Meeting the demand for secure and dynamic storage
If a guest arrives earlier than their allocated check-in time, they will often require a secure location to keep their belongings so that they can explore the wider area until their accommodation is ready.
However, many hotels either do not have secure luggage storage facilities or they may only have an unsecured room for bags.
In-fact, as hotel check-in desks become increasingly digitised, guests may not even have the option of asking a staff member about luggage storage facilities.
To meet this increasing demand, many hospitality providers are now turning to smart storage lockers powered by RAS Booking to provide guests with a secure means of luggage storage that aligns with the modern model of seamless travel.
How do RAS lockers work?
At Euro-Locks, we offer a wide range of digital smart locks that feature seamless compatibility with our powerful RAS Booking software. We support locker manufacturers in developing truly useful lockers with real market demand.
At the locker or storage area, the guest simply scans a QR code, taking them to the Remote Locking website. Here they can check availability and book a locker directly through their smartphone. Once the booking is confirmed, the guest receives an email that contains the location and access pin for their luggage storage locker.
The RAS Booking system is completely stand alone – no complicated wiring or network access is required to operate the locks. Each lock also comes with an override key to give direct access to the locker incase of lost or forgotten pin.
Hotel managers, shift managers or duty managers can access the portal to check the system usage if required, but RAS Booking is a self-managing system that does not require any administerial input.
This intuitive system generates unique new codes automatically and deletes any once the user has vacated their allocated locker, this ensures that no code can be reused, preventing unauthorised access.
