Ensuring your guest security with door code automation

For property managers overseeing dozens of listings, visiting and changing locks manually for each property can be a daunting and inefficient task. This is why many managers don’t regularly update their locks, potentially compromising security. Akia’s automated door code system offers a solution to this problem, ensuring security and ease of management across all your properties. See how you can manage generating and distributing door codes to guests remotely.

Security protocol

Implementing automated door codes involves several security protocols to ensure safety and reliability:

Unique codes for each stay: Generate a unique code for each guest that expires at checkout, preventing any reuse of codes by previous guests. 

Remote management: Utilize systems like Akia integrated with your Property Management System (PMS) to manage and update code remotely. 

Real-time monitoring: Keep track of who accesses each property and when, ensuring any unusual activity is quickly identified and addressed.

Why choose Akia?

1. Automate digital check-in: Akia combines digital check-in with automated door code generation and distribution. Guests receive their door code on their mobile phones at check-in time only if they completed ID verification, reducing manual intervention in generating and sending codes for each guest at each property.
2. Increase upsells with early check-in and late checkout: Dynamically generates code extensions for early check-ins and late checkouts to maximize upsells. Create a mini app of a rental agreement offering early check-in, and a checkout form that offers late checkout. Access codes are automatically deactivated upon guest departure. According to Oracle, “37% of travelers are willing to pay for early check-in and late checkout,” highlighting the potential for additional revenue. 
3. Centralized platform: Manage check-ins, guest messaging, and door codes in one place. By integrating with smart lock systems such as August, Schlage, Yale, SmartThings, Nuki, TTLock, Kwikset, Igloo Home, and Wyze locks, Akia allows property managers to control all aspects of guest access from a single platform, making it easier to handle multiple properties and monitor access.

Conclusion

Implementing Akia’s automated door code system ensures guests feel safe and provides a seamless check-in experience, leading to higher guest satisfaction and better reviews.
