Now compatible with ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Mobile Access, VingCard Essence means guests can skip the front desk and unlock their room using their own smartphone or watch. Hoteliers can also create a homier, design-centric feel in their hallways and room interiors without compromising on security.

With the new VingCard Essence, hoteliers get more advanced technology with a minimalistic design that blends with any hotel décor. The new design hides the electronics inside the door and works with most door materials.

The new VingCard Essence also comes with improved reading distance on the RFID reader and wireless online capabilities. The product also benefits from compatibility with ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Mobile Access, powered by secure Seos technology, a solution which allows guests to take control of their hotel experience, using their smartphone or watch. This innovation from ASSA ABLOY Hospitality enhances customer satisfaction, frees up front desk staff and saves on operational costs. 

"VingCard Essence offers a seamless experience for guests, from their ability to enter and secure their room without interaction with the front desk, to the enhanced aesthetics of their hotel environment," said Christophe Sut, Executive Vice President and Head of the Global Technologies business unit for ASSA ABLOY Hospitality.
