Cards: categories and validity timeCards: categories and validity time

Guest cardsVisitor cards (persons using hotel facilities but no room)One-time cards (deleted after first use)Personnel cards separated into: room-maid, service, management, reception....

Validity time has to be set for each card. After validity time expiry system automatically deletes the card and card is unusable (in this way card abuse is prevented after check-out, or possible fake card loss).

Cards are physically identical, categorization is based on software level

All data connected to card (code, category, user) are password protected

There can be 3 guest cards per room and 2 general purpose cards (guest, service...)

Four card categories:

FOSBack office

Communication is based on standard LAN network

Keycard readers are connected to FOS devices (front office, POS)

Keycard encoder connected to HARS


Faster and easier guest check-in. Receptionist enter data in front office, and HARS receives commands for check in, check out and data change directly from front office.

Energy management. FOS sends information about rooms reservation scheme, so HARS can handle additional level of energy savings.

Phones control. HARS sends to FOS information when guest is in the room, so PMScan switch on phone line, and if guest is not in the room phone line can be used only for internal connections (inside hotel, hotel’s staff can not make phone calls from rooms).

Prepare keycards in advance. It is possible to prepare keycards in advance (if large group of guests is expected).

Makes possible to identify guest by keycard. POS points are equipped with special readers and guest can handle payment just with his keycard.
