HOUSTON, June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KEYPR®, the technology company whose enterprise cloud platform is the leader in guest experience and hospitality management, announced today that they have partnered with Häfele, globally-renowned specialists in hospitality hardware, cabinet fittings, and smart architectural systems. As part of a larger tech initiative for Häfele, this integration will allow end users to utilize advanced digital key and in-room technologies such as lighting, audio, and other guest room functionality via the KEYPR platform, ultimately touching all aspects of the guest-facing experience. This partnership will also extend to Intelity on the heels of yesterday's merger announcement to combine both entities to form the largest, most richly integrated company in hospitality.
