Challenge: Having prior success with ASSA ABLOY Hospitality’s VingCard Classic locks and Vision solution, InterContinental staff immediately knew who to turn to when upgrading its systems to the latest RFID technologies. Desiring to increase overall property security by bringing luxury and innovation together, InterContinental Toronto staff opted to upgrade to the VingCard Classic RFID and Visionline wireless locking solution.

If any keycard is suspected of being tampered with or used inappropriately, staff can now quickly deactivate that keycard to prevent further unauthorized use. The two solutions were also able to bring in greater opportunity to creating site-‐specific programs for doors and certain sections of the property. In addition to creating a more effective system for the property, InterContinental can now offer guests more keycard options, such as stand open keycards and one-‐time use cards. Since the upgraded system offers increased flexibility, hotel management can now create staff user groups and control staff access across the property from one central location.
