Hanting Group Completes Major All-in-One Card System Upgrade with Eversafe Technology

On October 1 2009 Changzhou Eversafe Electronic Lock Co Ltd successfully completed and handed over a massive system upgrade project for the Hanting Hotel Group. This comprehensive transformation which spanned eight months marks a significant milestone in the modernization of China's economy hotel sector. The project involved the deployment of an advanced all-in-one card system across approximately 300 Hanting chain hotels revolutionizing how guests interact with hotel amenities and streamlining management operations on a national scale.

As science and technology advance and living standards improve the hospitality industry faces increasing pressure to replace traditional cash keys paper tickets and magnetic cards with intelligent solutions. For a rapidly expanding group like Hanting with around 300 locations managing disparate systems for elevators consumption payments access control and appliance operation was becoming inefficient.

The primary challenge was to unify these fragmented processes into a single seamless interface. Guests previously had to manage multiple cards or keys for different functions leading to confusion and a less streamlined experience. Hanting needed a robust scalable solution that could integrate elevator controllers point of sale systems payment gateways access control units and even coffee machine controllers into one cohesive platform.

Changzhou Eversafe Electronic Lock Co Ltd leveraged its extensive experience in smart card technology and intelligent building engineering to deliver a customized all-in-one solution. The core of this transformation is the integration of our high security Hotel RFID Locks with a versatile smart card infrastructure.
