Digital keys that work with any smartphone. Perfect for Airbnb, hostels, and budget accommodations.
Budget accommodations face unique access control challenges that expensive systems can't solve
Physical keys get lost, copied, or mixed up. Average hostel loses 30% of keys annually, costing $200+ per lost key replacement.
Traditional smart locks cost $200-500 per door. For 20-bed hostels, that's $4,000-10,000 upfront investment.
Language barriers and different tech familiarity make complex systems unusable for diverse backpacker audiences.
Guests book through Airbnb, Hostelworld, Booking.com. Need unified access management across all platforms.
Backpackers arrive at all hours. Staffing 24/7 reception costs $50,000+ annually for small properties.
Shared dormitories and communal spaces need flexible access control. Traditional systems too complex or expensive.
