Challenge
Vibrant, eclectic, and carefully curated: Casual Nomad delivers unique stays and neighborhood experiences for modern travelers who want more. Each property is crafted to be both trendy and welcoming, with artistic decor and easy-to-access suites at the heart of lively urban neighborhoods.
For the Casual Nomad team, providing a comfortable check-in experience for guests ranked squarely among their essential services – right alongside convenient parking and one-of-a-kind style. Travelers needed the freedom and flexibility to arrive on their own terms and feel completely confident from their first moment on site, without any additional steps or mandatory paperwork with in-person staff.
Solution
The Keycafe key management system provided a perfect link between Casual Nomad’s digital booking experience and real accommodations. The team used Keycafe’s software integration with Guesty, a one-stop-shop property management platform that they’d already built into their daily workflow. With the support of this software, Casual Nomad could suddenly offer a completely touchless guest experience.
When a guest books a Casual Nomad property, Keycafe generates a code that can be used at a SmartBox to unlock the bin containing the property’s key. Next, Keycafe uploads the code to Guesty. Guesty automatically messages guests with their check-in information, and voila! The code is provided directly in their personal message. Access, unlocked!
Result
Keycafe now plays an integral role in the seamless guest experience at Casual Nomad, aligning the brand’s sophisticated style with an equally elegant key management solution. Checking in with Keycafe immediately helped the team save time and cut down on administrative errors in what was once a clunky manual process. Goodbye, lost keys!
Casual Nomad is built on the idea that today’s travel is about more than just going somewhere, and their integrated check-in with Keycafe helps guests arrive in style. The system’s ease of use and simple design welcome every traveler with care, straight from the booking screen through real life arrival.
