Case Study: DanCenter achieves remote automated check-ins and streamlined housekeeping with igloohome and Breezeway

DanCenter cuts key handover costs with 6,000 igloohome smart keyboxes

DanCenter, a vacation rental company with over 28,000 properties across Northern Europe, faced significant operational challenges with its traditional key-based check-in process. This required guests and staff to travel to regional offices, leading to long queues, high staffing costs, and logistical inefficiencies. To modernize guest access and streamline operations, DanCenter partnered with vendor igloohome to implement its Smart Keyboxes.

The solution involved deploying over 6,000 igloohome Smart Keyboxes that provide time-sensitive PIN codes for guests and integrate with Breezeway for Bluetooth unlocks by cleaning and maintenance staff. This created a fully remote, automated check-in process. The results included eliminating thousands of key handovers, saving an estimated €625 per property annually, and achieving an ROI on the smart lock cost in under three months. The igloohome solution significantly reduced operating costs, improved staff efficiency, and elevated guest satisfaction.
