Connect 3.0: the next era in mobile key

Your Mobile Key is a part of Hotek Hospitality Group and offers the complete cloud-hosted platform that allows you to communicate directly with your customer, colleague, or guest at all times. It is easy to make real-time changes in the Web App and push new promotions or important messages. YourMobileKey also offers an excellent opportunity to generate sales directly through the Web App interface. 

In 2023 is version 3 of our hospitality platform launched. A completely new version of our state-of-the-art hospitality platform with many more possibilities. The system is continuously developed with monthly new functionalities.

New look,
same great feeling!

YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive
Both our backend (CMS) and the web apps have received a new look & feel. The styling has been refreshed with many more options to meet almost any brand identity.

Add your logo, colors, and font. Adjust the rounded corners and the spacing between the blocks.

Choose one of the Font Awesome icon styles that matches your brand identity. This way, you'll have a web app entirely in your own style!

Dashboard

YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive

After logging in to the CMS, you will see a dashboard with information about your locks and the guests present.

You can also see which special lock settings are available and which door was last opened, or you can directly create a new digital key.

YMK
It always works!

Simply the solution.

Your Mobile Key is simply the solution that always works. Your Mobile Key is in fact easy to integrate into the Hotek lock system, existing keycard systems from other suppliers, but also into newly installed lock systems. The workflow requires little to no additional hardware. The locks are connected to gateways per floor or department via the existing internet switch.

Features

YourMobilekey stays ahead of competition

Easily create digital keys for a guest or for the cleaner. You can share keys via email, WhatsApp, QR code, or SMS.
Available on: YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive
You can check the battery level of the locks and see if the lock is online.
Available on: YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive

The locks module allows you to customize the style of the locks entirely to your own preferences:

  • Round or square sliders
  • The color of the button in the slider
  • The color of the button in the slider
  • The color of the icon in the slider
  • Adjust the texts in the sliders.
 
Available on: YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive
You can choose up to 4 languages in which you want to offer your web app to guests. You can create pages in one language. We have an integration with DeepL that then translates each page into the other three languages. This process is fully automatic; of course, you can edit the pages at any time if the translations are not to your liking. Available on: YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive
For the exclusive app, you can create unlimited pages. All pages are visible in the sitemap and easy to edit. Can’t find a page? Then you can simply use the search bar. The pages in the sitemap have a preview, so you can easily recognize each page. Available on: YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive

You can set times for each lock when the doors cannot be opened digitally. For example, you can set the door to the swimming pool to not be openable by guests after 10:00 PM and only open again at 8:00 AM in the morning. You can create a daily or weekly schedule for each lock.

It is also possible to set each lock to be opened or closed at certain times. Create a daily or weekly schedule per lock for this purpose.

 
Available on: YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive
 

Check our website to see if there is an integration with your PMS. After linking a PMS, guests will automatically receive a digital key via email and/or SMS.

The PMS integration is also used for other modules such as the Feedback module and Forms module, but also for integrations with Butlaroo or the unTill POS system. For other integrations, please contact us.

Available on: YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive
 

In Connect 3.0, we have a database of 30,000 icons. The icons are divided into 68 categories.

We have integration with Font Awesome for our icon bank. This allows you to easily switch between different icon styles. Additionally, Font Awesome ensures that all icons are maintained and new ones are constantly added.



 
Available on: YMK Plus and YMK Exclusive

In Connect 3.0, we have a sitemap where you have an overview of all your pages in the web app. You can see which pages are linked to each other and search for pages in the search bar.

The sitemap also includes previews of the pages, allowing you to quickly navigate through your own web app and make changes to various pages in less than 5 minutes.

 
Available on: YMK Exclusive
In the web app, you can add text to a page yourself. This text can be automatically translated into the other languages of the web app.

Of course, you can make all regular adjustments to texts by using the capabilities of our text editor.
Available on: YMK Exclusive

In 3.0, you can customize your weather module yourself. You can choose from 5 different styles so it always matches your corporate identity. Additionally, you can decide whether you want to display a daily or weekly forecast.

The weather forecast is generated based on our integration with Weeronline and is requested based on the GPS location of your stay.

 
Available on: YMK Exclusive

To place images in the web app, we have the photo slider. Here you can place either one image or multiple ones to create a slider.

You can still customize this slider with:

  • Scroll direction. Horizontal or vertical.
  • After how many seconds it moves to the next.
  • Whether you want arrows, circles, both, or none as decoration.
  • You can also link photos to other pages in the web app.
 
Available on: YMK Exclusive
Connect 3.0 has integration with Tripadvisor. The hotelier only needs to provide the location and name of the attraction. In the search function, attractions are displayed. The Tripadvisor information (with any links) is displayed in the web app; naturally in the web app's branding.

 
Available on: YMK Exclusive
To display information in a fun way in the web app, the notes module is a good solution! You can choose from different notes, colors, and fonts. You can also put multiple notes in a slider.
 
Available on: YMK Exclusive
Just like in our old CMS, you can build a web app by dragging content blocks into the web app. In the builder, you can drag content blocks and change the order.

The page preview shows exactly how it will look. In other words: WYSIWYG — What You See Is What You Get!

Available on: YMK Exclusive

Receiving reservations through a form for late check-out or bicycle rental?

We have an integration with Jotform in our CMS. You can create forms yourself and determine who receives an email when a form is filled out. In the CMS, you can also see an overview of completed forms.

If there is an integration with the PMS, a guest can order room service without specifying who the order is for; we already know which guest it is through the PMS integration.

 
Available on: YMK Exclusive

Besides buttons side by side or buttons in a list, in 3.0 you can also choose Tetris blocks. These blocks have a playful display where you can vary the size of different buttons. You can also place a photo behind buttons and determine the opacity.

Choose from various Tetris templates and build your app according to your own style and vision. Large blocks, small blocks, with or without photos; it's all possible.

 
Available on: YMK Exclusive

If you want to know what your guests think about their stay, use the feedback module. Here, we have compiled questions for guests to respond to.

All information is collected on the dashboard, and you can choose whether you want to receive emails.

Collecting feedback during the stay allows you to assist guests during their stay, preventing negative reviews afterward.

If guests provide positive feedback, we can ask them to leave a review. For negative feedback, we can inquire about areas for improvement.

 
Available on: YMK Exclusive

In all web apps, floating element buttons can be placed with links to the hotelier's social media.

Guests can be directed to the Facebook, Instagram, or Linkedin page.

In addition to social media buttons, buttons can also be added for direct calling/emailing and information about Keyless access.

FAQ

What is Your Mobile Key?
Hotek Hospitality Group offers standard 24-hour service worldwide, with a 2-year all-inclusive warranty included. Our own Dutch technicians travel around the world to ensure a perfect installation. In addition, Your Mobile Key benefits from the service program of the Hotek Hospitality Group.

The combination of a cloud-based mobile key and digital communication for the guest journey (in the Web App) is unique. The Your Mobile Key controllers can be used with any electronic lock and transform your current offline system into an online access control system, giving you access to all doors via the cloud from anywhere in the world.

Your Mobile Key was developed by Dolf Mulder after other mobile key options like NFC in 2010 and Bluetooth in 2012 were introduced. Due to security risks and the requirement to download an app to open a lock, the decision was made to stop using NFC and BLE. In 2018, CLE (Cloud Low Energy) was introduced as the first true cloud-based mobile key. In 2020, the web application (PWA) was launched, eliminating the need to download an app.

Your Mobile Key is developed, produced, and hosted 100% in the Netherlands. We do not outsource our software to cheap countries like India or Moldova. Our Your Mobile Key controllers are also produced in the Netherlands, as well as the cloud hosting and back-end software in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 protocols.
Of course! We use 256 AES encryption, the highest security standard available. We also use private hosting for our cloud platform, so we are not dependent on other applications like Windows Azure. This means we are always online! And we monitor how our platform is running 24 hours a day. That's real security!

Absolutely! In addition to hotels, our cloud platform can also be used for long-stay apartments, co-working spaces, bungalows, offices, student housing, and even at sea for cruise ships. Our Your Mobile Key controller can be used with any electronic lock, access doors, and elevators.

Bluetooth always requires downloading an app, and you can't make direct changes. Almost all other lock providers need a third party to open doors via an app. We use the cloud, which means we’re always online. Most importantly, Bluetooth is not secure and very easy to hack. We believe Bluetooth is outdated and more suited for things like streaming audio in your car. For optimal security, you need an intelligent access platform.

If you are a millennial, we are sure that your phone battery is always charged. But don't worry, you can always use a keycard or QR code to open your door. These can be obtained from the hotel reception or key card kiosk. Another possibility is that our support team is always able to open doors, after proper verification of who is at the door of course. If you do not have an Internet connection, you can also use the key card or the QR code. What happens when there is no WiFi (anymore) in our accommodation? You can always use a keycard but with a 4G/5G internet connection on your smartphone you can always connect to Your Mobile Key. We always advise installing a mobile router connected to our gateway to ensure that the cloud platform still works. And you can also use the keycard as a back-up.

You can always use a keycard, but with a 4G/5G internet connection on your smartphone, you can always connect to Your Mobile Key. We always recommend installing a mobile router connected to our gateway to ensure the cloud platform keeps working. As a backup, you can also use the keycard.

No. We have our own wireless network (868 MHz for Europe, 915 for USA) to communicate. We use our self-developed Gateways to communicate between the cloud and the Your Mobile Key controllers.

We believe that downloading an app and then being flooded with registration emails is neither welcoming nor user-friendly, especially for guests staying only a short time. We also see app downloads as an obstacle to using a mobile key. An app can be useful for frequently used tools, but it’s not ideal for short stays. If you already have an app for your hotel, no worries — our API can connect with your app provider. However, we believe that PWA (Progressive Web App) is the future!

Yes it can! Your Mobile Key is a 100% Cloud Based Platform where we have already provided numerous integrations with most Cloud Based PMS systems. Besides API and OTA integration, Your Mobile Key can also be integrated with other hardware such as kiosks and other check-in terminals.

Yes, when you use our Plus or Exclusive package, the guest or user can easily arrange additional services. By comparing our different packages, you can view all options and choose what best suits your needs. Arranging a taxi or ordering room service is very simple. In addition, guests can also easily leave a review about their stay.

Of course! You can easily send the mobile key to another guest or user. This can be done via email, QR code, WhatsApp, and even SMS, ensuring that a guest or user always receives their mobile key as quickly as possible.
This is also possible with our Smart Link feature. With this special feature, you as a landlord can prevent tenants from forwarding mobile keys. We have a custom solution for every application with Your Mobile Key.

You can choose to restrict access from outside the hotel or accommodation. In that case, a guest or user must be within a certain distance to open doors. Another option is to allow users to open doors from anywhere in the world, depending on the property settings and how access control should be used. So, it's up to you to decide whether or not to allow remote access.

Of course! With our Geofencing feature, we can first check the user’s location before the slider (door unlock) becomes active. Once you're within range, the slider is enabled. Additionally, we can configure GPS per door/slider. Optimal flexibility!

Your Mobile Key is a new brand within the Hotek Hospitality Group, which was founded in 1999 and has maintained a stable financial position for over 20 years. You can consult the Chamber of Commerce for this, number: 20090515. We are independent and will always remain so, and we have invested over 2 million Euros in the development and production of Your Mobile Key.

Hotek Hospitality Group offers standard 24-hour service worldwide, with a 2-year all-in warranty included. Our own Dutch technicians travel the world to ensure perfect installation. In addition, Your Mobile Key benefits from the service program of the Hotek Hospitality Group.

We’ve got good news for you: by investing in the Your Mobile Key controllers for your existing locks, you’re not only reducing operational costs, but also increasing guest or user satisfaction!
