Let\u2019s think, for example, to an employee on a business trip, he spent all the day out and the only thing he wants is a hot shower and a bed to sleep on.<\/p>\n And again, let\u2019s think about all the time a plane is late<\/strong>: the customers who were supposed to arrive at 4 pm, are suddenly obliged to check-in after midnight. In this case, having the possibility to turn a classic check-in into an automatic operation could only be an advantage<\/strong>, for the hotel and for the guest!<\/p>\n Of course, having already done all the check-in operations and received the access code on the smartphone will make him feeling happy!<\/p>\n Furthermore, given\u00a0the pandemic situation we are living now<\/strong>, the self check-in operations contribute to limit the contact with people and to guarantee more safety during a difficult historical period which has brought down entire industries, including the Hospitality.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/octorate.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/en-self.png” alt=”Self Check-in Octorate” title_text=”en-self” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||5%||false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font_size=”2.5em” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”2.5em” header_3_font_size_phone=”2em” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#3d3d3d” text_font_size=”1.2em” text_line_height=”1.6em” text_font_size_tablet=”1.2em” text_font_size_phone=”1em” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Going back to the example described before, the specific box near the entrance door of the apartment, containing the keys to open the door; it could be opened with a security code previously sent to the guest.<\/p>\n Octorate plays a key role because it enables you to customize the communication process with your guest.
