TTI Technologies delivers Scan2PMS – Now Shore Hotel can ensure that their property provides as secure an environment as possible.
November 3, 2016 – A few years back, managers of Shore Hotel and Ocean View Hotel in Santa Monica explained to us that the town recently had Organized Criminal activity come through, Shore Hotel and many other businesses in the area were defrauded of significant revenue because the group was using very good fake IDs. They asked if our Scan2PMS system could Authenticate IDs. TTI has a variety of Scan2PMS products including models that do indeed authenticate IDs and determine if they are fake. Shore Hotel management was worried that this could happen again since the IDs were so well made and wanted to ensure the safety of other guests.
Steve Blidner, TTI’s Founder and CEO remarked, “We provided Shore Hotel and Ocean View Hotel with the top of the line 3M AT9000 Scanners with Authentication. These scanners use infra-red and ultra-violet to scan the ID for any tampering. They also use an ingenious software program that compares the ID to thousands of templates to look for discrepancies.” A couple months later the hotel called to say that similar Organized Criminal activity had come back and tried again but this time the IDs were detected and the police notified. Preventing any additional loss, that one single event almost paid for the scanners. Shore Hotel is doing their part to eliminate fraudulent IDs and providing valuable information to law enforcement authorities upon detection. It also provides an additional safety layer and convenience for guest service staff to verify identities of guests who have checked-in but may have misplaced their ID’s.
Scan2PMS is a great way to Speed up the check-in process, improve the quality of the data a hotel collects and provide added security by saving a picture of the ID.
