Minsait supports the Selenta Group in the secure reopening of its hotels with its "contactless" check-in technology

Minsait, an Indra company, has accompanied the Selenta Group in the reopening of the chain's hotels with its digital check-in system, which facilitates hotel check-in by speeding up possible waiting periods and minimizing physical contact. The Selenta Group was founded in 1976 and currently has eight hotels in different cities in Spain, as well as well-known international brand-name franchises. More than 300,000 customers visit its establishments each year, resulting in a total turnover of 152 million euros in 2019.

After a tough period marked by the shutdown of activity and the closure of hotels due to COVID-19, the Selenta Group is starting up again with the opening of the Don Carlos Resort, an all-included holiday complex in Marbella with 300 rooms and various leisure options. To this end, Selenta has not hesitated to resort to technology to provide its guests with the best service and fully ensure their health and safety. For this purpose, it has chosen Minsait's Onesait Travel Booking solution, whose Contactless Check-in function allows guests to register their data and other information required at check-in online, thus avoiding crowds at the hotel reception desk. This way, guests can check in from home or elsewhere before traveling, with no need to wait at reception and possibly coming into contact with other people.

From the accommodation's point of view, the Minsait solution doesn’t only stand out for its ability to facilitate pre-booking management. It also makes it possible to offer services to guests in the pre-stay period, before their arrival at the hotel, facilitating customer loyalty and the availability of their data as a basic tool to improve their experience.

The Selenta Group's implementation of Minsait is not limited to the Don Carlos Resort. With the gradual return to activity, all the brands in the hotel and restaurant group will be incorporating this system to facilitate check-in and eliminate possible crowds at their reception desks, as one of the key measures in the return to normality to protect safety and in line with the conditions that the pandemic has imposed on hotels and accommodations.

Minsait's proposal to the sector consists of three modules that can be implemented together or separately. The most important is Digital Check-In, as this revolutionizes the hotel's relationship with their guests from the outset. This is complemented by a biometric system, which provides for guest recognition by means of their image and ID card. The platform also features Digital Signature technologies for customer validation. This reduces the time spent so far in these procedures and initial contacts to a minimum, either with the hotel staff or other guests, all while increasing service more safely through digital channels.
