Kalahari Resorts & Conventions has adopted RFID door lock technologies and the Visionline access management system by Assa Abloy Global Solutions.
With VingCard Essence, VingCard Classic RFID and VingCard Signature RFID at all four of its properties in located in Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio and Wisconsin, Kalahari Resorts expects to enhance its security capabilities while benefitting from adaptive technologies that can also provide guests with convenient payment and identification methods.
With each of the VingCard lock solutions deployed by Kalahari Resorts, Assa Abloy Global Solutions will use data encryption to sidestep risks of credentials being cloned that can result in lapses in security and unauthorized room access.
Kalahari Resorts can provide guests with security access credentials that can also serve as a form of payment and identification with VingCard RFID locks and the Visionline access management system. With just one RFID wristband or keycard, guests can access their rooms, gain entry to other resort areas and purchase items without having to carry around personal credit cards or cash.
“The advanced flexibility of technologies by Assa Abloy Global Solutions have allowed us to deliver an all-in-one, seamless and secure access and purchasing experience that lives up to our company’s standards of ensuring exceptional service quality,” said Nick Brana, corporate IT director at Kalahari Resorts, in a statement. “With VingCard door locks and Visionline, we also gain the advantage of being able to keep pace with new technology and can effortlessly adapt as resort security needs change.”
Deploying Visionline as an online solution, Kalahari Resorts lets staff issue RFID wristbands granting access to onsite amenities despite an early check-in when their guestroom may not yet be ready for use. Once their room is available, guests can be notified via text and can use the same wristband already issued in order to gain entry. Visionline’s capabilities also increase overall security and efficiency by issuing real-time alerts for potential security threats and by providing in-depth reporting that ensures any needed maintenance is always handled in a timely manner.
Engineered with a focus on future-proof scalability, VingCard locks at Kalahari Resorts locations come equipped mobile access-ready compatibility. This allows hoteliers to later add the ability to provide guests with room access using their own personal devices as a secure digital key and without requiring the replacement of existing door hardware.
