Collect guest details for hotel check-in
Let Skoutee gather all required guest information before arrival — so check-in is a handshake, not a form.
The Problem
Check-in shouldn't feel like a bureaucratic process
Your guests just travelled for hours. They're tired, maybe jet-lagged, and all they want is their room key. Instead, they're standing in a queue, filling out a paper form with their passport number, home address, date of birth, and signature — while other guests wait behind them.
For your front desk, it's equally painful. Manually entering guest data from handwritten forms is slow, error-prone, and takes staff away from what they do best — making guests feel welcome. And if registration data is incomplete or illegible, you've got a compliance problem too.
The check-in experience is your guest's first impression. It shouldn't start with a clipboard.
The Solution
Pre-collect everything before arrival
With Skoutee, you message every guest before they arrive — on WhatsApp, SMS, or email. Skoutee has a friendly conversation, collects all required registration data, and organises it in your dashboard. By the time the guest walks in, everything is ready.
No forms. No queues. No illegible handwriting. Just a warm "Welcome, your room is ready" — and a guest who's impressed before they even see their room.
Step by step
How to set up your check-in scout
From guest list to complete registration data — all before arrival.
Define the guest information you need
Tell Skoutee what to collect: "Ask guests for their full name, date of birth, passport or ID number, nationality, and arrival time." Skoutee creates a conversational flow that guides each guest through the required fields — no confusing forms. You can add extras like dietary preferences, room requests, or parking needs.
Import your guest list
Upload your upcoming reservations from your PMS or a spreadsheet. Include guest names, booking references, and contact details — email, WhatsApp, or SMS. Skoutee reaches each guest on the channel they prefer, in their language.
Schedule the outreach
Set Skoutee to contact guests 48 hours before check-in, or 7 days ahead for international travellers. Add a friendly reminder 24 hours before arrival for anyone who hasn't responded. Skoutee handles it all automatically — you just set it up once.
Collect & prepare
Hit launch — or let it run on schedule. Skoutee messages each guest personally, collects their details through a natural conversation, and organises everything in your dashboard. By the time they arrive, you have all the information ready — no queues, no paperwork, just a warm welcome.

Why hotels love digital pre-check-in

Compliance-ready data collection
Collect all legally required guest registration data (Meldeschein) digitally. Everything is structured, complete, and stored securely.
Better first impression
A smooth, digital pre-check-in signals professionalism. Guests appreciate not having to spell their name at the front desk.
No more illegible handwriting
Digital data means no more deciphering scribbled passport numbers or misspelled addresses. Every field is clean and accurate.

Pro tips
Best practices for hotel check-in scouts
Send the pre-check-in request 48–72 hours before arrival for domestic guests, 7 days for international travellers.
Keep the mandatory fields to what's legally required — make extras like room preferences optional.
Include the booking reference in the message so guests immediately know it's legitimate.
Offer WhatsApp as the primary channel — it has the highest response rate for international guests.
Add a warm, personal tone: 'We're looking forward to welcoming you!' goes a long way.
Security & Safety
Enterprise-grade security built in
Skoutee is designed with strict safety rails and compliance in mind. Your business data stays protected at every step.
Skoutee can't act on its own
Skoutee only does what you tell it to. It cannot initiate actions, access systems, or make decisions outside the scope you define. Every scout is triggered and controlled by you.
Your data is stored securely
All collected responses and files are encrypted at rest and in transit. Your data lives in a secured environment with strict access controls — never exposed to the open internet.
Full transparency & audit trail
Every message sent, every response collected — fully logged and visible in your dashboard. You always know exactly what Skoutee said and what it received.
No direct access to your systems
Skoutee's AI has no direct access to your controlling software, CRM, or databases. It operates in a sandboxed environment — completely isolated from your business-critical infrastructure.
Minimal data exposure
The AI only receives the minimal data it needs to do its job. For example, it knows "Customer X has an open invoice" — but never sees your full financial records, account details, or sensitive business data.
Secure authentication for storage
When Skoutee stores collected data, it goes through a highly secure authentication mechanism. The AI agent cannot read, modify, or access anything outside its defined scope — ever.
