Volara and React Mobile Add a New Layer of Security to Hotel Rooms

7/25/2017
Volara and React Mobile, an enterprise safety platform that is integrated with emergency dispatch centers, launched a joint solution that adds a new layer of security for hotel guests and staff.
 
Volara, which leverages the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot devices, engages guests today in branded properties including JW Marriott San Antonio, Alexis Hotel by Kimpton Seattle, TheWit by Hilton DoubleTree Chicago, and Hotel EMC2 by Autograph Collection, as well as boutique hotels including Acme Hotel Chicago, Marina Del Rey Hotel, The Wayfarer and Hotel Walloon, among others.
 
React Mobile, which delivers proprietary panic buttons and software to hotel staff, is protecting hotel staff today at properties including The Renaissance Marriott, Alexis Hotel by Kimpton, The Palladian by Kimpton, Hotel Monaco by Kimpton, Hotel Vintage by Kimpton, Crown Plaza Seattle, Plaza Suites California, Hotel EMC2 by Autograph Collection in Chicago and others.
 
The joint solution will bring an additional layer of security never before available to hotels.  The solution will recognize the distressed guest’s exact location and transmit the need for immediate emergency response directly to local first responders and hotel security.  Voice commands are customizable for each hotel and will include those like:
 
“Alexa, tell the hotel I need help.”
“Alexa, tell the hotel I smell smoke”
“Alexa, tell the hotel I’m having a heart attack.”
“Alexa, tell the hotel there’s a fire.”
“Alexa, tell the hotel there is an attack.”
“Alexa, tell the hotel someone is trying to break into my room.”
 
In addition, many hotels are also deploying secret commands that will have unique meaning to hotel and local security.  These surreptitious communications could be shared while a perpetrator is within earshot. 
 
“At the Alexis Hotel, enhanced safety and security has always been a priority for us,” noted Jenne Oxford, General Manager at Kimpton’s Alexis Hotel in Seattle. “The ability to quickly access emergency services through Alexa will be a benefit to guests and employees alike.”
 
Volara adds this highly important use case to a growing list of use cases already being enjoyed by staff and guests, including: 
 
?     In-room item and service requests
?     Concierge recommendations
?     Voice-only promotions
?     Personal brand consistent greetings
?     Compendium information
?     Custom branded games
?     Television controls
?     And many many more!
 
Volara provides hotels with a full service solution, including:
 
?     Custom Amazon Alexa skill that is only accessible by guests and staff on the hotel property
?     Proprietary dashboard that enables management of hotel content in real time, logging of all guest requests in real time, and aggregated data and analytics that will improve guest services decision making
?     Integrations into leading hotel software, including incident management systems, point of sale solutions (POS), and SMS based guest engagement solutions
?     Proprietary hotel personality development which ensure the voice of the hotel is consistent with its brand
?     Hotel Branded Amazon Echo or Echo Dot hardware and collateral
