About Invite
Hafstadvegen 23 | 6800 Førde
In 2020, Intin came in contact with Jan Fredrik Fosse, general manager at Knutholmen in Kalvåg. Knutholmen is a hotel with 250 rooms, a restaurant and spa facilities. Jan Fredrik had a vision of creating unique experiences for his guests. Sjøholt is a new hotel building with 16 rooms of the high-end type. There was a desire to offer rooms with focus on cultural heritage, sustainability and smart home technology. At the same time, it was desirable to simplify guest access and reduce tasks related to key logistics.
Focus on sustainability and guest experiences
As general manager, Jan Fredrik has a strong focus on the guest experience and to exceed expectations that guests have to hotels in 2022. Sustainable focus, digital solutions, greater degree of self-service and full control from their phones, are some of the expectations today’s guests have according to Jan Fredrik. With that in mind, Intin has delivered a complete solution that consists of smart home technology to control sound and light, as well as Invite automation for access and temperature.
Saves a lot of time
We asked Jan Fredrik how Invite has helped to improve the guest experience: «With Invite we have a locking system that makes everything much easier. Keys go out automatically and we save a lot of time versus a mechanical key or a key card that needs to be handed out. If a key gets lost we have to make new ones. And for safety reasons, the locks need to med changed or new cards produced. So it is clear that a lot is simplified. The panel heaters are also automatically adjusted so that they are not heating unnecessarily when rooms are vacant.»
Prepares the business for the future
Furthermore, Jan Fredrik says the following about using Invite «At Sjøholt, we have implemented modern technology via Invite that reduces energy needs and time use. The guest experience becomes smoother and better. It has always been a thought of making things better. It should be a good place to be as a guest and employee. The fact that we are attractive to guests is all about being up to date and having an attractive product.»
Intin is proud to be a local partner on digital solutions.
