The process will give the user with access to their assigned guest room and other access-controlled areas.
Once implemented, the technology helps the guests to avoid interaction at the front desk eliminating some potential touchpoints.
According to the company, DirectKey is used in more than 5,000 hotels and 800,000 rooms worldwide.
