Hoomvip, a Madrid-based rental property solution provider, has launched a smart service that allows landlords to provide digital keys, check guests in and out remotely and monitor property status in real time 24 hours a day.
Hoomvip’s new service is enabled with the ENTR smart door lock, from Assa Abloy brand, TESA. With the smart lock installed, apartment owners and agents no longer need to manage physical keys.
An open, in-app channel is also being offered to provide additional services during the guest’s stay, such as a personal video introduction by the landlord or details about how to operate the boiler, which make apartment management more effortless for the landlord while providing greater convenience for the guest.
Spain’s holiday home rental market is forecast to grow six percent annually until 2023, according to SAC Insight. But hosts, landlords and agents can beat that growth rate by choosing smarter and more convenient security mechanism that makes guests feel safer, and more likely to leave a 5-star review, said lock maker Assa Abloy.
The holiday home rental business involves much manual work from house owners, landlords and collaborating agents. Thanks to the security level it provides and the functionality it offers, ENTR is the best smart door lock on the market, says Miguel Encinas, CMO & Co-Founder of Hoomvip.
Hoomvip’s service integrates ENTR and home automation solution ELEAOpen. The ENTR lock’s dual motorised cylinder design enables users to open up with either a physical key or an encrypted mobile Bluetooth connection. From the outside, an ENTR smart door lock looks just like any other lock, so a property is unlikely to attract unwanted attention.
With ENTR and HoomVip, landlords can simply send their guest a “digital key” remotely via the Hoomvip app or even SMS. It’s easy for a holiday home rental provider to offer 24-hour self–check-in. The property owner can open his ENTR lock remotely from the Hoomvip app, check door status in real time and see who has opened the lock.
Travellers also find the smart lock very convenient. They just need to download the Hoomvip app and open the front door keylessly. Hoomvip enables 2-way communication between guests and owners, including post-stay evaluation. And because a property manager can cancel keys remotely, guests feel safer. There’s no risk a previous renter has lost or copied a physical key.
Installing ENTR at a property is quick and easy. It takes just one screw to fit an ENTR to an existing mechanical lock, with no drilling or cabling. Five minutes’ work will change a regular rental property into a smart one. It may also bring more 5-star reviews, because savvy travellers value hosts who take their safety seriously.
