IoT: 3 reasons why hospitality industry should make the most of it

It may surprise you, but the hospitality industry has been among the early adopters of connected devices. IoT, which stands for Internet of Things, is the impactful solution to help you keep up with your guests' expectations. According to PwC, smart connection is the next big opportunity for the hospitality industry.

Let’s discover why the hospitality industry should take advantage of it.

• Sustainability: Some IoT solutions, such as occupancy sensors, enable strategies to reduce consumption when guests are out of their rooms by reducing heating power or turning off devices that have been left on. Occupancy sensors will also come in handy for housekeeping staff, who, thanks to the alert they get once guests have checked out, can optimize cleaning processes in anticipation of new guests.
• Effectiveness: talking about preventing malfunctions, using connected services like water-leak detection or air-quality monitoring as a system of predictive maintenance, is the real game changer in the IoT scenario. Your staff will be able to identify and fix problems before they affect a guest’s stay, for a hitch-proof stay.
• Customer experience: Self Check-In solutions that allow guests to access their room or apartment through their smartphone are among the most popular and used IoT systems. Guests can access the facility at any time by making their devices a mobile room key, and the risks of unauthorized duplication of keys are reduced to zero.
