Virdee, a software-as-a-service company for digital check-in and virtual concierge services, has achieved Oracle Validated Integration with Oracle Hospitality Expertise that allows communication with the Opera property-management system. The partnership will let hotels running on the Opera system leverage Virdee’s technology, bypassing the front desk, marketing room upgrades and early check-in/checkout, assigning rooms and verifying guest identity with reservation data during the check-in process.
Through Virdee, hotel guests can check in either via kiosk or their mobile device, receive a digital or physical key and head straight to their guestroom without ever standing in line at the front desk.
Expertise is a core tenet of the Oracle PartnerNetwork program and lets Oracle partners highlight their capabilities in a focused area. Ultimately, Expertise is designed to make it easy for customers to identify partners who can deliver quality solutions and minimize risk for their specific needs.
Through the Opera integration, Virdee's identity verification module will securely connect user profiles with reservation data. Before completing the check-in process, Virdee will collect a payment method for incidentals and current charges, auto-assign a room, deliver a mobile key or a keycard to the guest and mark the guest as checked in on the Oracle Hospitality Opera platform.
“We are excited to announce this milestone partnership with Oracle/Opera,” said Virdee co-founder Nadav Cornberg. “The demand for a contactless check-in experience skyrocketed during the COVID pandemic and we are proud to partner to offer solutions that keep guests and staff safe while making the process more efficient for both parties. Via the new integration, hotels around the world can now utilize our best-in-class, end-to-end product for the complete digital check-in experience, including ID verification, payment collection, access control and remote support.”
