Hotels can configure their terminals and mobile interfaces to present guests with enticing offers as they check in. This includes options for room upgrades, early check-in fees, additional service packages like breakfast or spa access, and even integrated payment for on-site extras like EV charging. By presenting these options at the moment of arrival—when the guest is most engaged—SIHOT helps hotels unlock significant ancillary revenue without additional labor costs.

Unlike purely cloud-native systems like Mews that focus heavily on ease of use, SIHOT offers a highly flexible, modular system with multiple deployment options (cloud, on-premises, or SaaS) suitable for resorts, hotel chains, and hostels alike, providing a depth of customization that independent hotels and small groups find valuable.

Using SIHOT.GO!, guests can perform a "WebPreCheckIn," a preliminary check-in that enters them into the system as a "pre-arrived" guest. During this process, they can complete their personal details, provide a digital signature, and even select or upgrade their room. This data syncs directly and in real-time with the central SIHOT.PMS, allowing the front-desk team to see which guests have already completed their digital formalities. When the guest arrives, the final step is a quick, in-person check-in by a staff member or a simple key card collection. This hybrid approach dramatically reduces front-desk transaction time, freeing staff to focus on welcome and hospitality rather than data entry.
