About Arribatec Certify
Arribatec Certify delivers digitally certified cleanliness in line with global
and local regulations and recommendations. In addition, it allows you to also
add specific requirements/processes for cleaning and inspections set out by the
different hotel brands. Securing these cleanliness processes and being able to
document them transparently are bringing confidence back to the travel industry.
When the room has been cleaned and certified, Arribatec Certify sends this
certificate through the PMS system and to Facil, informing the guest that their
room has been certified and ready for check-in. The guest will then be able
through Facil solution to check-in touchless. These integrations are all done
through Facil PMS Integration Platform.
