Front desk & PMS

The hotel's front desk, from arrival to day close

Arrivals, in-house guests, folios and departures are handled on the business date, which only moves forward at night audit. IDs, keys and faults follow the same stay.

Four linked modules

What the front desk does, without double entry

  • Front desk & folios

    14-night room rack, check-in, multiple folios with extras, transfers, payments and refunds, zero-balance check-out with a final invoice.

  • ID document scanning

    MRZ reading in the agent's browser, with no image sent; fields checked before saving, ID stored encrypted, printable police registration form.

  • Locks & keys

    Encode, duplicate and revoke cards from the stay, through the Otelvya encoder bridge installed on the front-desk computer; automatic revocation at check-out.

  • Maintenance

    Work orders by status, priority and technician, with photos and cost. A blocked room is no longer offered at the front desk until the work order is closed.

Night audit

A closed day is a frozen day

Pre-checks list what blocks the close. Once the day is closed, the daily report is frozen and printable.

  • Unprocessed arrivals and open departures block the close
  • Room nights and city tax posted at closing
  • A closed folio accepts no more entries, an issued invoice is frozen
  • Check-out with a balance reserved to management, reason required
  • At check-out, the room becomes “dirty” and its keys are revoked

Good to know

  • Vendor locks (Vingcard, Salto, dormakaba, Onity…): enabled only after an integration agreement and delivery of the SDK. Until then, the status stays “Awaiting activation” and no card is encoded from Otelvya.
  • Mobile keys: not available.
  • AI reading of IDs: off by default, offered only after local reading fails, and never during online check-in.
  • Police form: template by country (Morocco, France, Spain, generic); references are indicative and should be confirmed with the authorities.

FAQ

Your questions

Do I need to install software at the front desk?

No: front desk, ID scanning and maintenance run in the browser. Only card encoding uses a bridge installed on the computer connected to the encoder, with no port to open.

Is the image of the ID kept?

No. Reading happens on the agent's device; only confirmed fields are saved, encrypted, on the guest record.

Can technicians work from a phone?

Yes: the Teams app, installable from the browser, lists open jobs and lets them take a work order, update it and add a photo.

Can a guest leave without settling everything?

Check-out requires a zero balance on every open folio. Management can authorise a check-out with a balance, stating a reason.
