Igloohome’s high-quality hardware enhances the digital guest journey by offering secure, unique, and temporary access codes for the duration of each stay. This innovative approach not only ensures that each guest has a seamless and secure entry experience but also significantly streamlines property turnovers and maintenance visits. By providing temporary codes that expire after the guest’s stay, Igloohome eliminates the need for physical key exchanges and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
Additionally, Igloohome’s technology supports flexible access availability, creating new revenue opportunities. Property managers can offer extended access options for late check-ins, early check-outs, or even access to additional areas of the property for an added fee. This flexibility enhances guest convenience and satisfaction while opening up new avenues for generating supplementary income. Overall, Igloohome’s smart lock solutions contribute to more efficient property management and improved guest experiences.

Key Benefits of the Partnership
Igloohome and Enso Connect collaboration allows hospitality professionals to leverage technology for the unique needs of their business, at scale. Here’s the key features of the integration:
Streamlined Check-In
After making a reservation, guests receive a Boarding Pass link—a web app designed to guide them through their entire stay. This intuitive platform enables guests to check in online, streamlining the process and ensuring a smoother arrival experience. Once the guest’s identity is verified by the operator, they receive access to the property within the designated check-in time frame.
If guests attempt to check in too early, the Boarding Pass app prompts them with an option to purchase an early check-in upsell, enhancing their convenience and generating additional revenue for the property manager. Access to the property via Igloohome’s smart lock is automatically activated at the start of the stay or immediately after purchasing the early check-in add-on.
In the event that access needs to be revoked, the property manager retains full control and can promptly adjust permissions as necessary. This seamless integration of the Boarding Pass app with Igloohome’s smart lock system ensures that travelers can enter the property without delays or complications, while the property manager maintains comprehensive control over access and security.
Flexible Smart Lock Hardware
Enso Connect users now have access to a wide range of smart lock hardware from Igloohome to best suit their needs. The most popular model is the Deadbolt 2S Metal Grey. The Retrofit lock can be easily installed on any euro cylinder lock without the need to replace door locks. The Keybox 3 allows operators to provide temporary access in case they do not wish to upgrade all their traditional locks to smart ones. With these solutions and more, vacation rental managers can now feel safe when securing their assets.
Remote Access Management
Short-term rental operators can efficiently manage access to their properties remotely, thanks to advanced smart lock systems. By providing unique and temporary access codes to guests, operators offer greater flexibility and enhanced security in managing accommodations. This system ensures that each guest has a personalized entry experience, reducing the need for physical keys and minimizing security risks.
Property managers also benefit from the ability to control access for staff members and maintenance vendors. This functionality allows for swift turnovers and timely repairs, as operators can grant and revoke access as needed without being on-site. Whether coordinating routine maintenance or handling emergency repairs, the ability to remotely manage access streamlines operations and improves the overall efficiency of property management. By leveraging these tools, short-term rental operators can ensure a smoother, more secure, and more responsive management experience.
Operations Optimization
By automating the check-in, checkout and access process, vacation rental managers can save time and resources. This allows them to focus on providing excellent customer service, streamline cleaning and maintenance, and secure new revenue streams.
This collaboration is a natural fit between two tech leaders, focused on driving the hospitality industry forward. With joined forces, Igloohome and Enso Connect are empowering short-term rental operators to professionalize, grow and succeed in this fast changing and competitive sector.
