Canada: Operto Guest Technologies has launched a standalone mobile-first web app for hospitality guests to interact with managers and hosts.
Operto Guest will offer online check in/out and keyless access, house manuals and guides, a two-way messenger functionality, and more.
It does not require users to download the app, nor does it require purchase with smart locks or the rest of the Operto suite. It can however be connected to Operto Connect V2, which first launched in February this year and has since been upgraded.
Steve Davis, CEO at Operto, said: “With the hospitality ecosystem becoming increasingly fragmented and confusing, we’re bringing more of what hospitality professionals need under fewer dashboards. Operto Guest and Connect is going to focus on the guest more than anything—letting them choose their journey and every touchpoint, while allowing the operator to spend less time on admin, more time on hospitality.”

• Online check-in and check-out, and keyless access via a digital keypad code
• Digital registration and ID verification.
