How Do Hotels Track Visitor Access and Master Keys?

Hotels track visitor access and master keys by keeping a digital record of who holds a key and when, alongside secure visitor identification, rather than relying on a sign-in book or verbal handover. Alkimii's Visitors feature keeps track of master keys and their holders and lets teams create and manage visitor ID badges for secure identification.

Security and accountability matter in hotels, where multiple people move through a site every day, contractors, visitors, and employees, and where master keys can grant access to areas guests should never reach unsupervised. 

How Do Hotels Keep Track of Master Keys?

Hotels keep track of master keys by recording who currently holds each key digitally, rather than relying on a logbook that can be forgotten or go missing. 

Alkimii's Visitors feature keeps track of all master keys and their holders, so it's always clear who has access and to what, without needing to chase down a paper record. 

How Do Hotels Manage Visitor Identification?

Hotels manage visitor identification by issuing digital ID badges that can be created and tracked in the same system used for master keys, keeping security and access management together rather than handled separately.

Alkimii allows teams to easily create and manage visitor ID badges for secure identification, so visitors on site are properly identified without adding a separate manual process.
