Datavalet’s Plug 'n Go Access Controller works seamlessly with the GBCblue‘s LOBBYblueTM solutions.
12/10/2010—Datavalet and GBCblue announced today an integrated Internet technology solution for the hospitality market. Datavalet’s Plug 'n Go Access Controller now enables guest authentication and direct PMS guest folio billing for the GBCblue’s LOBBYblueTM guest computing systems. With this joint solution, hotel guests using the GBCblue LOBBYblueTM system will be validated by the Datavalet system according to their guest room number and any charges from using the in-lobby kiosk solution will be automatically posted on their room bill. This automated billing process makes it easier for both the guest and the hotel property by eliminating the need for any additional payment methods or manual billing reconciliation with other hotel services.
“Being able to streamline and facilitate the guest technology experience is always a goal for us here at Datavalet”, said Robert Soussa, VP Operations, at Datavalet. “Combining the intelligence of our Plug 'n Go Access controller and backend systems with the elegance of the GBCblue solutions helps us to continue to deliver the best-of-breed HSIA technology to the hospitality market.”
