Desishub Automation · Smart Locks

Card access that you actually control

Create a card, activate it when a guest checks in, deactivate it the moment they check out — from your front desk, your phone, or anywhere. Every entry logged. Works even when the internet is down.

System architecture

How the lock thinks

Cards, apps, and the front desk all talk to the lock core — which decides at the door, logs everything, and syncs to the cloud when connectivity allows.

How it works

Four steps. Zero key drama.

01

Create

Create a card for the booking — from desktop or phone.

02

Activate

Activate on check-in — the door now opens for that guest.

03

Monitor

See every entry in real time, with a full audit trail.

04

Deactivate

Deactivate at checkout — the card stops working instantly.

When the internet drops, guests still get in.

Every lock keeps its own secure list of valid cards. Access decisions happen at the door in milliseconds — no cloud round-trip, no waiting. When connectivity returns, every entry syncs and your records reconcile. It's the same reliability discipline behind Shoppleet, where the till never waits.

Features

Everything key control should have been

Instant remote deactivation

Lost or stolen card? Kill it in one tap, from anywhere. The door updates immediately.

Full access audit trail

Who entered, which room, and when — every event logged and searchable for security reviews.

Auto-expiry at checkout

Cards deactivate automatically when the booking ends. No forgotten active keys.

Encrypted, per-lock credentials

Each lock holds its own encrypted credentials — one compromised card never opens another door.

Desktop + mobile management

A front-desk desktop app for daily operations and a manager mobile app for everywhere else.

Booking system integration

Check-in issues the key, checkout revokes it — wired into your booking flow automatically.
