Our Solutions
Zaplox is a leading provider of a contact-free mobile guest journey and mobile key services for hotels, casinos, and vacation home rentals. We offer a turnkey mobile platform, which includes a mobile guest app, that helps manage the entire guest journey – from booking to check-in/checkout with the ability for guests to communicate with staff during their entire stay – directly from the guest’s phone. Zaplox SDK and mobile key centric SDK enable hotels to add mobile check-in and mobile key functionality to the hotel’s existing guest app or the hotel can create their own customized guest app, using the Zaplox solution. As a complement to the app, Zaplox also offers a self-service kiosk solution for use in the hotel lobby. Zaplox works with all major smartphone platforms and has been integrated with leading PMS and lock systems.
Our Story
Zaplox was founded in 2010 at Ideon Science Park in Lund, Sweden and was the first company to leverage a mobile device as digital key for unlocking a hotel room door. We are a team of experienced people with roots in hospitality and technology. Our passion is to help hotels create a safe and personalized guest journey with the support of cutting edge technology. Our company is publicly traded on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market and our team members reside both in Europe and the USA.
