FLEXIPASS GUIDE · B&BS AND GUESTHOUSES
Digital keys for B&Bs and guesthouses
by link or by code
B&Bs and guesthouses can go keyless with FLEXIPASS: guests receive a Webkey that opens in the phone’s browser with no app, or a PIN Code for a compatible keypad, on supported locks the property may already have. Without a PMS connection, Mobile Keys can be sent from the FLEXIPASS portal by email or text, and keycards stay available as a fallback.
Which digital key suits a B&B?
Webkeys
A secure link opened in the phone’s browser, with no app. Listed for supported online locks from SALTO, ASSA ABLOY, dormakaba exivo and other brands.
PIN Codes
A code entered at a compatible keypad. Listed for SALTO SPACE and KS, ASSA ABLOY TESA, TTLock and Glutz.
Mobile Keys
A key in the FLEXIPASS app that opens Bluetooth locks, sent from the FLEXIPASS portal when there is no PMS connection.
Keycards as a fallback
Digital keys and keycards work at the same time, so a keycard stays the fallback.
How does a guesthouse start?
- Run the compatibility check for your lock models and PMS.
- Get a proposal for your property; FLEXIPASS does not publish a price list.
- Go live with keycards kept as a fallback.
QUICK ANSWERS
Good questions. Clear answers.
Can a B&B offer digital keys without a PMS?
Yes. Without a PMS integration, Mobile Keys can be managed in the FLEXIPASS portal and sent by email or text. FLEXIPASS also connects to PMS such as Mews, Cloudbeds and RoomRaccoon.
Do guests need an app to open the door?
No. FLEXIPASS Webkeys open from a link in the phone’s browser and PIN Codes are typed at a keypad, so guests do not need an app. Mobile Keys use the FLEXIPASS app or a supported guest app.
Do we have to buy new locks to use FLEXIPASS?
Not necessarily. FLEXIPASS adds digital keys to supported existing lock systems, so you may be able to keep your locks. Some properties need software changes, licences, readers, connectivity or hardware upgrades.
Can we keep key cards alongside digital keys?
Yes. With FLEXIPASS, digital keys and physical keycards can be used at the same time, and a keycard stays the fallback for a dead battery or an unsupported phone.
