ESI wins Most Innovative Project of the year
A bespoke solution for the Hospitality Industry, developed and implemented by ESI, won the Most Innovative Project of the year at the Honeywell HIS (Honeywell Integrated Security) Conference held in Monza last week.
ESI’s solution was nominated for the award of the most innovative project, together with another 16 nominations from Honeywell partners across the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) region. ESI’s solution faced stiff competition from a number of multi-million dollar solutions nominated in this category. The solution from ESI was commended by the judges for its ‘outside-the-box’ thinking and their solution was singled out for doing so much more than just ticking the box for innovation in security.
“We are thrilled with the result,” said ESI Malta Business Development Manager Trevor Buhagiar. “It is always an honour to be recognised for our efforts. We continue to invest in our expertise and such awards are recognition of the commitment to delivering more.”
The solution was developed for the owner and operator of a multi-apartment building for holiday lets. The client required a keyless and automated check-in solution for his guests when accessing the apartments and the system had to integrate with a booking application which was already in place.
The solution, which is the first of its kind in the industry, enables the guest to automatically receive the PIN code soon after the booking is confirmed. The guest will have access to the booked apartment without the need for check-in procedures and the hand-over and management of keys or cards. The solution also includes an automated billing feature that generates the bill for the consumption of utilities (electricity and water) for the guest when checking out.
This is the second award that ESI has received from Honeywell. Last year it won the Enterprise Installation of the Year award for an application it developed to integrate Honeywell ProWatch® Security Management with the OTIS Compass® Elevator Management System.
