With straiv you digitize your guest communication from the booking of your guests to the re-booking in your hotel. If you integrate a link to the digital companion, for example, in your booking confirmation, your guests can access the solution via any end device. Once in the system, they can get information there and you can specifically advertise your offers. In addition, your guests can easily check in online before they arrive at your hotel.

We offer three different solutions for this: With WEB door opening, the room door (or doors in other areas of the hotel) is opened via a slide on the guests’ smartphone in straiv’s web app. The pin door opening allows the room door to be opened by the guests via a PIN, which they receive either in the web app of straiv, via e-mail or at the check-in on site on the KIOSK or tablet. With the check-in KIOSK solution, hotel guests can check in independently at the reception, fill out the registration form and encode the room card without the need for hotel staff.
