Introducing 'Ready to Stay': A Neoke Solution for Streamlined Hotel Experiences

As Neoke is building a new identity infrastructure, we're identifying key pain points where our solutions can transform travel experiences for both guests and providers. Accommodation check-in and check-out typically represents a moment of tedious admin and burdensome processes, for hotels and travellers alike. Our "Ready to Stay" solution is designed to enhance the experience by leveraging digital identity technology. It allows guests to securely share not only travel documents but also personal preferences and requirements with hotels. This technology enables a swift, contactless check-in process, and personalises the stay according to the guest's needs. By integrating with hotel Property Management Systems (PMS), 'Ready to Stay' facilitates a personalised and efficient guest experience, reducing the time spent on check-in formalities and improving overall satisfaction.

What is Ready to Stay?

'Ready to Stay' offers a streamlined process for hotel check-ins, connecting guests' digital profiles to the hotel's Property Management System (PMS). This solution goes beyond traditional check-ins by allowing guests to share additional information like dietary restrictions and accessibility needs, setting the stage for a tailored and seamless hotel stay.

How does it work?

  1. Remote Check-In: Guests check-in via the accommodation app or wallet, and receive a digital ID. This updates the hotel's PMS with their verified status.
  2. Personalisation: Guests can share preferences and special requirements, which are also updated in the PMS, allowing hotels to prepare for their stay in advance.
  3. Arrival: The guest proves that the information required for their stay has been shared, which can be done using various methods (QR code, NFC, biometrics, etc), depending on the hotel infrastructure and capabilities, and the guests’ preferences. 
  4. Seamless Interaction: Post check-in, guests can use their digital profile for various in-hotel services, enhancing the convenience and quality of their stay.
  5. Future Reservations: the system remembers guests' verified profiles and preferences, simplifying the booking and check-in process for future stays.

Key Features

  • Digital Onboarding: Prior to arrival, guests complete a digital onboarding process using the data stored in their Neoke vault, including identity verification and personal preference settings.
  • Personalised Stay: The details guests share set the stage for a customised stay, with accessibility settings, food preferences, and services tailored to the guest's preferences.
  • Extended Engagement: "Ready to Stay" also connects guests with hotel services beyond the room, like spa bookings and event reservations, all tailored to their preferences.

Benefits

  • Efficiency: Significantly reduces check-in times and streamlines hotel operations.
  • Customised Experience: Enhances guest satisfaction by personalising their stay according to their needs and preferences.
  • Security: Provides robust verification methods and secure data sharing, ensuring guest privacy and safety.
  • Sustainability: Minimises the need for paper-based processes, supporting eco-friendly practices within the hospitality industry.
