AviScan · Document scanner for hotels
Read a passport, an ID card or a residence permit with your phone camera and send the details to the guest record in seconds. No readers, no typing and no errors.
No hardware to buy or maintain.
How it works
One scan and the details are where they belong. No transcribing, no repeating and no rejected registrations.
Any device
The reception phone or tablet, the computer's webcam or the guest's own phone during online check-in. AviScan needs no reader and no hardware.
Automatic reading
Passports and ID cards from any country, residence permits and documents with a machine-readable zone. It extracts first name, surname, number, date of birth, nationality, sex and the issue and expiry dates.
From reading to registration
The data it reads feeds the guest record, online check-in and the guest register, so you can complete guest registration where required by law without retyping anything. With no manual transcription, there are no errors from mistyped details.
Integrated readers
AviScan is Avirato's own reader, and the PMS also integrates with other readers and registers on the market, such as Delta, Bancor or Gesvi. You choose how to read the document.
Security
Data is processed and stored encrypted in Avirato's cloud, in the guest record and in line with GDPR.
Customer stories
«We had tried a few earlier PMSs and they were very complicated for day-to-day management, payments and invoices. I was really impressed when I signed up with Avirato, I could hardly believe it. It's very practical from the user's point of view and everything is on one screen.»
Roberto DelgadoDirector at Grupo Le Petit Palú, Madrid and Seville«Since we implemented the Premium PMS and the whole system, it has optimised everything for us. Our revenue and our bookings have gone up, and the security and control the system offers have allowed the hotel to make the most of all its resources.»
Enrique Moreno de AcevedoDirector at Hotel Almunia de San Miguel, Toledo«Avirato has optimised our work to a degree we could never even have dreamed of.»

AviScan is included in all Avirato plans, at no extra cost.
The one that reads the document with a camera you already own, needs no extra reader and sends the details straight to the guest record and the guest register. When you compare options, check that it reads passports, ID cards and residence permits with a machine-readable zone (MRZ), that it works on a phone, a tablet and a computer, that guests can scan their own document during online check-in, that data is encrypted and in line with GDPR and that it connects to your PMS. AviScan covers all of that and is included in every Avirato plan. If you already have a reader, the PMS also integrates with other readers on the market.
Use the camera of a phone, a tablet or the reception computer's webcam. AviScan reads the document and fills in the guest record in seconds, with first name, surname, document number, date of birth, nationality, sex and issue and expiry dates. If you would rather not do it yourself, guests can scan their own document on their phone during online check-in, before they arrive.
