Silverbyte Systems, a specialist in hotel management software, is helping properties go green via a series of technology initiatives.
The company has added green elements to its existing Optima property management technology enabling hotels to offer express check-in online or via mobile and express check-out via iPad and other tablet devices.
Further initiatives within the Optima Go Green solution include a process to scan passports or other ID documents, a daily snapshot to be sent to hotel managers and owners electronically and a mobile element allowing managers and sales people to view price and availability information online via smartphones.
A number of hotels have taken steps to go paperless in recent years including the introduction of iPad apps and electronic guides to replace guest directories as well as online guest feedback questionnaires.
