dormakaba Ambiance

From front desk to back of house and everything in-between, dormakaba Ambiance web-based access management software provides centralized property management anytime and anywhere. Log on to your property’s admin page to remotely manage security schedules, run reports and notify staff with on-screen notifications. The easy to use interface and on-screen help systems allow newly trained staff to quickly learn so they can focus on the guest. You can easily create keys, modify guest registrations, check-in/out times and more, directly from Ambiance or through your property management solution.

Saving time and money is the core value of Ambiance. With today’s changing hotel technology landscape, flexibility is a must. You can add available features like remote lock management and mobile access when you see the need to upgrade. Configure property access to one or multiple buildings, controlling access to everything from guest rooms to restricted areas using a combination of staff profiles, access point group definitions, scheduling and credential management. With custom user roles, advanced password and user access settings that meet PCI compliance, your system is protected even more. Lock programming and auditing is a breeze with advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting support. Ambiance integrates with a variety of third party property management systems (PMS), point of sale systems, energy management solutions, parking gate systems and more.
