The hotel industry is undergoing continuous digital transformation to enhance operational efficiency and customer experience. Digitalization is revolutionizing many aspects of the industry, from administrative processes to direct interactions with guests. For instance, at the front desk, automating check-in and check-out processes is significantly simplifying guest arrivals and departures, reducing wait times, and allowing for more agile record management. This facilitates better organization and smoother service. Hotels are adopting technologies where electronic signatures play a crucial role in delivering superior guest experiences.

One standout solution in the digitalization of the hotel sector is VIDsigner BIO, which combines electronic signatures with biometrics for secure and precise authentication. VIDsigner BIO enables check-ins and check-outs with a biometric signature on devices like tablets, ensuring each transaction is unique and authenticated through the user's biometric features. This technology not only enhances security by reducing the risk of fraud and impersonation but also streamlines processes, allowing guests to complete their registration quickly and easily. Additionally, it simplifies integration with existing hotel management systems, optimizing data management and improving daily operational efficiency.

Agility and Security for Hotel Management Software

Just as your guests can check in using a biometric electronic signature on a tablet, they can also do so using their smartphones with a remote signature, digitally signing documents related to their stay without being physically present at the hotel. This speeds up registration and enhances guest convenience, allowing transactions from anywhere. VIDsigner Remote ensures security and legal compliance, storing documents securely and minimizing risks. With this technology, both hotels and hotel management apps offer more efficient and modern services, meeting guest expectations.

Hotels Simplify the Check-In Process

The next time tourists book their stay at a hotel, they may encounter pioneering experiences spreading globally, such as the one developed by H10 Hotels, which has successfully digitized its check-in processes and integrated them with its Navision-based corporate information systems, thanks to its technology partner Costaisa.

With nearly 40 years of history and over 60 hotels in 18 destinations worldwide, H10 Hotels has installed up to 73 tablet devices for its guests in the Caribbean and Europe, utilizing VIDsigner's electronic signature technology.

In Spain, regulations have evolved to allow digital methods in hotel registration processes, facilitating electronic management. The Spanish and European hotel industries are adopting strategies to modernize services and improve operational efficiency, ensuring a superior guest experience. Additionally, through hotel management programs, billing forms can now be completed electronically, allowing for more effective record-keeping.

The Future of Hospitality Technology

More hotels are leveraging technology to position their services in the market. As consumers value technology in all aspects of their lives, it is crucial to offer services that meet their needs and preferences. Utilizing biometric check-in or check-out on a tablet or remote signature with a smartphone not only adds value to the brand and cuts inefficiencies but also facilitates guest registration, enabling an automatic process that captures information and streamlines communication with users and authorities.

Security Compliance

Technology is becoming a key factor for hotel competitiveness. Implementing biometric and remote signatures not only improves efficiency and reduces costs but also facilitates automatic guest registration and smooth communication with authorities. As digitalization advances, interactions between staff and tourists will become increasingly digital, optimizing management and enhancing the guest experience.

Electronic signatures are an essential tool for ensuring compliance with security standards and operational efficiency, protecting both employees and guests while improving the hospitality experience.  

With VIDsigner, any user with a smartphone, computer, or tablet can sign documents simply, quickly, 100% online, and without queues or delays, from anywhere. Additionally, it is a highly intuitive system that requires no user experience, representing a significant evolution towards the digitalization and modernization of hotel services.  

VIDsigner’s electronic signature security standards comply with Regulation (EU) 910/2014 (eIDAS) as well as US regulatory frameworks (ESIGN and UETA). For more information on legal compliance standards.
