Digital Room Keys: To make the new on-demand, on-property check-in system as seamless as possible, Fueled needed to figure out a way to get guests into their rooms without needing to wait in line for room keycards. To do this, they worked with the client to incorporate door locks that could be opened with digital keys that lived in the new app. After a guest checks in, they have access to a contextual, personalized home screen. The app provides guests with entertainment and dining suggestions powered by a range of data points, including their current location and existing itinerary. Reservations can be made in-app, skipping phone calls and long box office lines. To achieve this, the company let the content do the talking.
