VANCOUVER, BC – Operto Guest Technologies, the award-winning property automation start-up and a PhocusWire Hot 25 startups for 2019, has announced that they have rebranded from Slickspaces Technologies.
Following rapid expansion since launching in 2016, the new brand signifies a milestone in the maturation of the company and better encompasses the increased offering that the company provides to hoteliers and vacation rental property managers. Operto has launched a next-generation operating dashboard, offering hotel and property managers real-time insight and control over their inventory. The dashboard supports automation features including integrated keyless entry, noise and occupancy monitoring, temperature and energy control.
Operto – from the Italian word aperto; meaning to open – enables accommodation providers to enhance their operations, making them more efficient and providing an elevated guest experience through a curated range of smart home technology that with the purpose-built software is made meaningful in a commercial setting.
“We are really pleased to offer our software to the new wave of forward-thinking accommodation providers that are increasingly utilising tech to enhance operations and guest experience,” shares Michael Driedger, founder of Operto. “Hotel and short-term rental property managers spend their days looking to make guests’ lives better, so with Operto we’ve focused on making their jobs simpler and the guest experience smoother. With the right technology, property managers and hoteliers get both happy guests, cost savings and increased revenue.”
Operto solves operational issues commonly faced by the accommodation industry. The flagship solution fully automates guest entry by programming unique entry codes for every reservation onto keypad locks. With no action required by front desk or booking staff, guests get the convenience of 24/7 self check-in – with no app required. Meanwhile, teams can shift their focus from transactional check-ins to personalized interactions that add value.
Operto’s range of solutions also include monitoring of noise, occupancy, and air quality. Energy savings are realized through intelligent thermostat control. Guest welcome features make visitors feel at home, while smart alerts and scheduling reduces turnover time and repetitive tasks.
Operto is currently working with hotels, vacation rentals, serviced apartments as well as more niche accommodation alternatives across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean.
