VingCard Elsafe Brings Home the Gold in Security at Sochi 2014, Providing Peace of Mind to Olympic Athletes and Fans
As accounts of various infrastructure failures at Sochi hotels have surfaced throughout the 2014 Winter
Olympics, property door locks and security have not been among them, thanks to the efforts
of VingCard Elsafe, the global leader in hospitality security solutions and part of the ASSA
ABLOY Group. Since the 2014 Winter Olympics were awarded to Sochi in 2007, VingCard Elsafe
has been central to efforts in preparing and equipping the region's hotels for the influx of
visitors brought on by the massive global event.
"Much of the news circulating just prior to the Sochi Winter Olympics, was unfortunately regarding the
city's inability to host an event of this magnitude, primarily due to unfinished preparations at area
hotels" said Christian Hénon, president of VingCard Elsafe EMEA. However, at most of the area's new
and newly renovated hotels, visitors have been able to enjoy the same high standards in guestroom
locking, security and convenience that they have rightly come to expect elsewhere in the world. We are
proud to say that we played a large part in providing that peace of mind at this important event,
installing our locks at the majority of new and newly renovated properties in the city." With the issue of visitor security gaining particular media
attention, many Sochi properties also opted to
implement VISIONLINE by VingCard, a patented wireless online communication platform that allows
hotels to control exactly who has access to every door on the property, and when—all from a
centralized location. Equipped with VingCard's VISIONLINE, Sochi's hotels also have access to each
individual lock's audit trail, instantly from the central server.
VingCard Elsafe is the world leader in developing locking systems, electronic in‐room safes and
energy management solutions for the hospitality industry, offering user‐friendly systems that meet the
unique operational needs of hotels and resorts. For more information, please visit www.vingcardelsafe.com.
