What's the problem?
When 200 conference guests arrive in a 90-minute window, front desk staff encode key cards one by one. The disconnected check-in with no pre-arrival path becomes the bottleneck. Alliants for Groups integrates pre-registration, digital wallet keys, kiosks, and group dashboards into a single system; guests simply bypass the front desk by getting a key in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
Request a demoHow does Alliants for Groups work?
Alliants Contactless sends each group guest via their preferred channel before the arrival. Guests complete identity verification, payment authorisation, and room preferences from their own device without downloading an app.
Pre-arrival registration at scale: Alliants Contactless sends each group guest a branded web link via email, SMS, or WhatsApp before the event. Guests complete identity verification, payment authorisation, and room preferences from their own device without an app download.
A key that matches modern attendee demands: Once a group guest completes check-in, Alliants Digital Keys pushes an NFC credential to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Guests tap their phone against the door lock to enter. It's that simple.
For when the guest forgets to check in via Contactless: Alliants Kiosks provide a hardware-agnostic, fully branded self-service terminal in the lobby. The kiosk retrieves the reservation from the PMS, recognises guest status, presents welcome messaging, processes payment, and issues a digital key.
A new world of group context and insight: Alliants Insights tracks group arrival completion rates, check-in channel usage (contactless, kiosk, or front desk), guest sentiment, and group spending patterns in real-time dashboards.

Why do leading hotel brands choose Alliants for Groups over the competition?
A few unique Alliants differentiators
Three arrival channels, one system layer: Most solutions force hotels to choose between mobile check-in and kiosk check-in, each with separate data and infrastructure. Alliants for Groups offers contactless, kiosk, and front desk check-in through a single platform with a shared guest profile.
Digital keys that mitigate the desk queue: Most group check-in solutions end with guests collecting a plastic key card at the front desk. Alliants for Groups delivers NFC credentials directly to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet so guests can get to their reception events rather than waiting in a check-in line.

Revenue capture at the moment of arrival: Alliants for Groups includes a configurable room upgrade engine that presents room upgrades and ancillary offers during both contactless and kiosk check-in, which can be tracked to show group spending habits.

One platform, not a collection of point solutions: Where most hotels piece together a mobile check-in tool, a kiosk vendor, a digital key provider, and a reporting system from multiplecompanies, Alliants for Groups delivers all four as native modules within the Alliants Experience Platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Alliants for Groups is a bundle of four Alliants Experience Platform (AXP) modules designed for hotels hosting conferences, corporate events, and large-group programmes. The bundle includes Alliants Contactless (pre-arrival digital check-in), Alliants Digital Keys (NFC mobile wallet room access), Alliants Kiosks (branded self-service check-in terminals), and Alliants Insights (real-time group analytics and sentiment tracking). Together, these modules provide group guests with three parallel, flexible arrival channels while giving event teams live visibility into check-in progress, guest sentiment, and group spending data from a single platform.
Alliants for IT is a natively integrated platform, not a collection of standalone tools connected through middleware. When hotel IT departments assemble separate best-of-breed tools for payments, automation, analytics, and integration management, each tool requires its own API connection, its own vendor support channel, and its own maintenance cycle. Alliants built these modules to share a single data layer from the start, so workflows, payment events, guest profile updates, and reporting all reference the same data without translation layers or batch synchronisation delays. The result is fewer points of failure, lower total maintenance cost, and faster data flow.
Typical deployment depends on what is purchased within the bundle. Common use cases take 1-2 weeks from start to completion, including PMS integration, lock system configuration, kiosk hardware setup, branding configuration, and initial staff training. Properties already using other Alliants Experience Platform modules can deploy the Groups bundle faster because the PMS integration and guest profile connection are already in place. Alliants collaborates with each hotel's operations and events teams during implementation to configure group-specific workflows, kiosk content, and analytics dashboards before the first group arrives.
Hotels using Alliants for Groups reduce costs and capture revenue across multiple use cases. Contactless pre-registration and kiosk check-in reduce the front desk labour required during peak group arrivals. Digital wallet keys remove plastic key card costs and the staff time spent encoding and replacing them. The arrival-stage upselling tools generate ancillary revenue from room upgrades presented during check-in. Alliants Insights tracks all of these metrics by group, giving events leaders and revenue managers the data to demonstrate ROI to ownership groups and event planners.
Alliants maintains ISO 27001 certification for information security management. Guest data collected during contactless check-in, kiosk check-in, and digital key issuance is encrypted in transit and at rest. Payment processing uses tokenised, PCI Level 1 and DSS-compliant card capture, so the hotel never stores raw card data. Digital key credentials issued through Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are protected by the device's own security architecture, including Face ID, Touch ID, and device encryption. Role-based access controls within the Alliants platform restrict visibility of dashboards and reports to authorised staff. Alliants does not share guest data with third parties.
