OKIDOKEYS Launches RentEZ App

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- (CES) -- OKIDOKEYS today announced the launch of RentEZ, a virtual concierge app that gives home sharing hosts and rental property owners a convenient way to offer a professional menu of amenities and services to their guests. Powered by the Hotelcloud platform, guests can use the RentEZ app to access information about property amenities and user guides, and book local activities and services with one click.

"Airbnb hosts as well as Flipkey and HomeAway owners can offer the RentEZ services to make a property more attractive to renters," says Pascal Metivier, founder and CEO of OpenWays and OKIDOKEYS. "Our extensive background in the hospitality industry gives us deeper insight into the expectations of modern travelers. Now that our Smart-Locks are available worldwide, adding hotel services to our offerings for the rapidly expanding home sharing economy is a natural step." 

"Our mission is to provide individual property owners with the same hotel amenities and comforts, such as concierge services that we do for our hospitality customers," says David-Benjamin Brakha, founder of The Hotelcloud.  

The RentEZ License, priced at $79.99/59.99 annually, allows hosts to provide the guests who rent the properties with an online concierge platform to access interactive guides of the available amenities, discover events in the city and book local activities and services.
