Kivala joins Online Check-in.
Access to your property is now as seamless as your check-in.


Anywhere and Kivala are joining forces. As soon as your guest completes their online check-in, they automatically receive their access code. No action required on your part. No friction on theirs. And security you control entirely.

Partenariat Kivala x Anywhere, nouveau partenariat pour les professionnels de l'hospitalité

Who is Kivala?

Kivala is a French connected access management solution, designed for residences and property managers. Carriage door, building entrance, apartment door: their technology covers the entire access chain, without physical badges, without keys, without human intervention.

100% French, hosted in France, fully sovereign. In a market dominated by American players, Kivala offers a local, robust alternative built for the European market.

Why this partnership makes sense

Anywhere's Online Check-in manages everything that happens before arrival: identity, contract, security deposit, stay instructions. Kivala manages physical access to the property. Together, they form a complete journey, from the first booking message to the open door.

No more sending codes manually. No more risk of a guest accessing the property without having signed their contract or paid their deposit. No more oversights, no more reminders, no more last-minute interventions. The process runs on its own, from start to finish.

"Two French solutions, one seamless journey. Online Check-in opens the way, Kivala opens the door."

What it changes for you

Security first: the Kivala access code is only communicated once the check-in is fully completed. Identity verified, contract signed, deposit collected. If any step is missing, no access is sent. You set the rules, Anywhere and Kivala enforce them.

Freedom next: the code is active only during the stay dates. It expires automatically at checkout, with no action required on your part after initial setup.

And for the guest: their code is waiting in their Online Check-in interface as soon as validation is complete. They can send it to themselves by email in one click. No app to download. No extra steps.

From carriage door to apartment
Kivala covers the entire access chain: carriage door, building hall and, depending on the configuration, apartment door.

Your guest completed everything. The door is already open. You did nothing. That was the plan.

A real example: three doors, one single code

A Haussmann building, three Kivala devices, one single guest code.

Dans le 8e arrondissement. A former private mansion converted into hotel apartments, listed on short-term rental platforms. Three access points separate the guest from their accommodation.

First, the large carriage door opening directly onto the busy street. Then, after crossing the cobblestone inner courtyard, the building door. Finally, on the second floor, the apartment door.

Three doors. Three Kivala devices. One single code to open them all: personal, automatically communicated upon check-in validation, valid only for the duration of the stay.

Two French solutions, one ecosystem

Anywhere was born in France. So was Kivala. This partnership is no coincidence: it is a deliberate choice to build a local, sovereign ecosystem where your data and your guests' data stays in France.

In a sector where tools often come from across the Atlantic, we are making the opposite bet: French solutions, built for the European market, integrating with each other without friction.
