By partnering with industry leaders such as ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions, Virdee demonstrates its commitment to providing its customers with the latest in contactless experiences.
• Industry-leading data encryption: Mobile Access by ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions also utilizes the latest in data encryption protocols to prevent unauthorized access. This includes the use of secure communication channels to deliver digital keys and room number information to guest devices which is then stored within a digital strongbox on a guest-facing mobile app.
