Vingcard, an ASSA ABLOY company, has launched VConnect, an interface able to function as a communications bridge and centralized hub for a wide range of hotel systems and devices. The interface helps eliminate operational silos and is a fully integrated environment offering unmatched efficiency, security and guest service quality.
VConnect can integrate with the property-management system and connect it to other essential systems and guest services, such as access management, PBX, IPTV, HSIA, in-room entertainment, GRMS and much more. The solution is compatible with the vast majority of available PMS solutions, with examples that include Opera Cloud, Cloudbeds, Hotelkey, Mews and Apaleo.
Among VConnect’s benefits are:
- Flexible and extensive API options: VConnect features a highly customizable design able to connect virtually any type of solution, from guestroom thermostats and motion sensors to any hotel access solution, including Vingcard and third-party door locks. Using VConnect, forward-thinking properties can notably sidestep unforeseen complications while seeking to future-proof operations and gain a competitive edge.
- Guest experiences: Hoteliers leveraging VConnect can ensure faster response times by automating otherwise manual and time-consuming processes. The solution notably allows staff to re-focus their attention on more pressing matters while also creating more opportunities to increase personalization for enhanced guest satisfaction.
- Secure and standards compliance—VConnect leverages the latest security protocols for maximum protection of hotel and guest data. Its compliance with industry standards prevents inadvertently exposing data to potential vulnerabilities when being shared across multiple third-party systems.
"VConnect is transforming the way hotels operate by offering unmatched integration and flexibility," Li Wang, SVP and head of hospitality at Vingcard said in a statement. “Our platform simplifies hotel technology management, allowing systems to communicate effortlessly, which in turn improves service delivery and operational efficiency.”
