Hotello Partners with Ariane Systems to Offer Online Check-In Capability

The Mingus Software team announced that it has partnered with Ariane Systems, a technology solution provider, to offer a practical new feature to its clients: online check-in.

This user-friendly solution not only optimizes the customer experience, but also saves considerable time. It allows guests to easily check in from their mobile phone or computer before they arrive. A pre-authorization is then automatically processed on the credit card used, which offers a payment guarantee to the owner of the accommodation. In addition, a dashboard makes it easy for staff to track check-ins and check-outs, thereby ensuring better management.

For their part, the guest enjoys complete autonomy and no longer needs to visit the reception desk, which cuts down on time spent queuing and makes it possible for reception staff to devote more time and energy to guest satisfaction. This feature is a win-win solution for all parties. Also, online check-in can help hoteliers deal with the labour shortage the hospitality industry is currently experiencing.
