Hotels, motels and resorts are racing to adopt smart locks, enticed by the potential to boost security, streamline operations, and deliver customized guest experiences. While 33 Lock offers out-of-the-box access control management software for all customers, some customers have more complex requirements as a result of their growth. Therefore, a crucial decision emerges: direct API integration or relying on a 3rd party solution? Navigating this crossroads requires understanding the strengths and trade-offs of each path.

The hospitality industry is expected to experience yet another year of technological innovation, and it's not just a new paint job and fancy towels we're talking about. We expect 2024 to be all about hyper-personalized experiences, seamless convenience, and a touch of futuristic flair.

By embracing smart lock technology and leveraging data insights, hotels can gain a competitive edge by:

Improving operational efficiency and reducing costs.

Personalizing guest experiences and enhancing satisfaction.

Unlocking new revenue streams and driving profitability.

Hotels that invest in smart technology today are well-positioned to not only navigate the ever-evolving hospitality landscape but also thrive in the future.

Bleisure travel is a growing trend, and hotels need to adapt their offerings to meet the needs of these unique travelers. Smart locks are a valuable tool that can help hotels attract and retain bleisure guests by providing them with a convenient, flexible, and secure experience.

Technology is often seen as the silver bullet which can help a hotel, motel or resort solve their business problems. But when is it the right time to acquire new technology?

Both of us have worked in the hospitality tech space for several years. While the hospitality software space has seen a lot of innovation, the hardware space has been slower to change. This is why we started 33 Lock.
