SkyHomes London is a serviced apart-
ment provider in the city’s most central

properties exude character, comfort,

company understands that coming to

ments in terms of the guest experience
and from an operational perspective.
Joanna Almasi Account Manager for Sky
Homes explained “Kaba helped Sky Homes
from an operational point of view, as the
housekeeping department now has a mas-
ter code for all the apartments and clean-
ers do not need to come into the office to
pick up keys. They just receive a text from
their supervisor on the day to advise which
apartments have to be cleaned. In terms of
maintenance emergencies, a one shot
code can be generated for higher levels of
security if an external person has been ap-
pointed.
Oracode benefits - Guest satisfaction
In order to enhance the guest experience,
codes generated by Oracode are time sen-
sitive with automatic start and expiry
dates. Guests can also personalise their
code.
“A self check-in system is the easiest
way to save our customer’s time.
By providing this kind of service to our
customers, we are improving their ex-
perience in our serviced apartments as
they don’t have to spend time coming to
the Sky Homes office to collect the key.
Guests receive the codes via e-mail or-
text on successful payment and receipt
of a photo ID.
Our corporate business has grown be-
cause we understand time is money and
our corporates want to avoid any hassle
as they are always on the go”. Joanna
continued.
