The hotel industry is currently focused on guest safety, and hotels are looking for digital, contact-free options for check-in, checkout and payment and the joint offering with Agilysys is well positioned for both hotels and casinos, regardless of size and market. The mobile guest journey offered by Zaplox and Agilysys means that hotel guests no longer have to wait in line to check in and check out, or to gain access to their hotel room key. The check-in/checkout process is handled directly in the hotel’s app and guests can instead spend more time in the casino or enjoy the hotel amenities.
“Our already successful partnership with Agilysys is now yielding another 1,081 rooms and five new customers. Our goal is to offer both guests and hotel and casino operators a smoother, safer and more efficient hotel experience, continues Even. “Together with Agilysys, we can deliver a very competitive mobile guest journey – with everything from reservation, check-in and checkout, mobile key and payment, fully integrated with Agilysys PMS, which is one of the leaders in the casino market.”
