The challenge
During summer, several same-day turnovers can overlap. Guests arrive by car, ferry or plane, and their arrival time can shift significantly.
With multiple units, the largest operational risk is inconsistency: different keys, different messages and different procedures depending on who is on duty.
Proposed access design
The project starts by standardising the operating procedure before choosing hardware for each door.
- the same or a small set of compatible lock models
- a stay-specific guest PIN rather than permanent seasonal codes
- separate cleaner and maintenance credentials
- one arrival-message template with only the information the guest needs
- a preventive battery schedule before peak season
How the guest journey would work
Every unit has a clearly named door and access method.
The guest receives the correct PIN and unit-specific instruction.
Cleaning uses its own access after checkout.
Technical access remains separate from both guest and cleaning credentials.
Expected operational effect
The benefit comes from reducing operational variation across the building.
Standardisation becomes especially valuable during Split's peak season, when small delays across several apartments quickly multiply.
