Reservation assigned = access created
The moment a reservation is assigned to a room, the PMS automatically issues a digital key on the matching Orion smart locks.
PMS Smart Lock Integration
PMS with Smart Lock Integration for Hotels
Connect reservations directly with room access. Every reservation change in the PMS instantly updates the smart lock, so guests get the right key at the right time - and only for as long as they need it.
Quick answer
Orion 3 Hotel ships its PMS and Orion smart locks pre-integrated so each reservation automatically issues, updates and revokes the matching digital key - no manual encoding, no card desk.
Reservations connected to every door
Cancellation / reassignment / checkout = access revoked
When a booking is cancelled, reassigned, unassigned or checked out, the smart lock revokes access automatically - no manual cleanup.
Works with Orion smart locks and Orion hardware
Orion supplies the smart locks, controllers and readers. The integration is part of the platform, not a third-party add-on.
Room doors and common doors
Issue a single guest key that opens the assigned room, the main entrance and common doors based on stay dates.
QR, Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, NFC, mobile app unlock
Generate QR keys, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes, NFC access and mobile app unlock from one reservation - no extra workflow.
Real-time smart lock control with offline access
Reservation changes apply to the lock in real time. If the internet is down, offline access keeps guests inside.
How Orion 3 Hotel compares
Plain-language comparisons against common alternatives. No competitor brand names — these explain category positioning only.
Orion 3 Hotel vs traditional hotel card systems
Traditional hotel cards rely on physical plastic credentials encoded at a front desk. Orion 3 Hotel replaces the card with a QR code, Apple Wallet pass, Google Wallet pass, NFC credential or mobile app key — generated from the reservation, delivered by email or wallet, and revoked automatically when the booking ends.
Orion 3 Hotel vs standalone hotel locks
Standalone smart locks open doors but do not know who is booked into which room and have no reservation context. Orion 3 Hotel ships the PMS and smart access together: reservations drive the locks, and access is revoked when the booking changes.
Orion 3 Hotel vs PMS-only software
PMS-only software handles reservations, invoices and reports but stops at the room door. Orion 3 Hotel covers the same PMS scope and continues into physical access: smart locks, digital keys, Wallet passes and automatic revocation are part of the platform.
Orion 3 Hotel vs a manual self check-in process
A manual self check-in process often means key boxes, lockbox codes or on-call staff. Orion 3 Hotel removes the manual step: the guest receives the key automatically before arrival, opens the door with their phone, and the key is revoked when they leave.
PMS and smart locks, one workflow
Reservations drive the doors. The platform issues, updates and revokes every key automatically.
We chose Orion 3 Hotel for its seamless integration and reliable contactless access — perfect for modern hospitality.
