Safemark Systems offers a new alternative for in-room safes. Rather than purchase costly replacement parts for existing safes or buy new models with hefty installation fees, consider SafeCom - fully automated, wireless, online, pay-per-use guest room safes that can be leased with no capital outlay and free installation and 24/7 technical support.

Safemark guest room safes are designed with today's high-tech traveler in mind. They're large enough to accommodate laptops as well with purses, iPods, video equipment, cameras and cell phones. The LED illuminated keypad is easily visible and user friendly for guests.

The automated online system is operated by a turnkey computer system called Safemark Communications Manager (SCM) enabling a variety of features that go above and beyond traditional guest room safes. Through the SCM, the hotel can maintain an online status of every safe in the building. Batteries never run out because the battery status is also displayed at the fingertips of hotel staff. Should a guest report a missing item, the online system can display the date and time of each access to the safe. And, a report is immediately generated if a guest forgets to remove belongings from the safe before check-out. Best of all, the SCM program is designed to interface with a variety of IT infrastructures currently found in hospitality properties.
