DocuGuest for GuestPro

GuestPro connects to DocuGuest in two ways. Pick whichever fits your workflow, you can use both side by side.

  • Mobile: scan from any Android phone or tablet at the front desk or on the go.
  • Desktop: open DocuGuest directly inside a GuestPro reservation and scan with the computer's webcam.

Open the guest you want to fill in. Click Documentos escaneados at the top of the panel and pick the scan you just sent. The fields are loaded into the guest record automatically.

GuestPro: Documentos escaneados
GuestPro Huésped modal after a scan has been imported. Top row of buttons: Fotografiar documento, Documentos escaneados, Escanear documento, Cargar contacto. Below: a row showing the imported guest "Carmen Espanola Espanola", país España, document I / 99999999R. Underneath, the Principal tab is open with form fields (Habitación, Tarjeta, Nombre, Apellidos, Email, Teléfono) ready to be saved

Desktop

If your reception has a computer with a webcam (or a document camera), you can scan straight from the GuestPro reservation without the phone. The DocuGuest button shows up in two places.

From a room (recommended)

Open the reservation, go to Habitaciones, scroll to the guest you want and click DocuGuest. The scanned data is attached to that guest automatically.

GuestPro: Habitaciones
GuestPro reservation with the Habitaciones tab open in the side menu. The room details fill the main panel (room type, dates, occupancy, rates). At the bottom, the guest row shows "Espanola Espanola, Carmen" with a Tarjeta principal next to it. Below the guest row, an "+ Añadir huésped" button sits beside a highlighted "DocuGuest" button

From the Guests tab

You can also open DocuGuest from Huéspedes. Use this when the reservation has a single room, the scan is then assigned to the room automatically.

GuestPro: Huéspedes
GuestPro reservation 4619163 with the Huéspedes tab highlighted in the side menu. The Huéspedes panel lists one guest "Espanola Espanola, Carmen" assigned to room 1 (Habitación Doble Vista Mar). Below the table, action buttons including a highlighted "DocuGuest" button

For multi-room bookings, use the Habitaciones tab instead so each scan goes to the right room.

The scanner

The scanner opens as a modal on top of GuestPro. It's the same scanner described in the Desktop guide.

DocuGuest inside GuestPro
DocuGuest scanner modal opened on top of GuestPro. The GuestPro sidebar is visible behind. The scanner shows a live camera view with an ID card filling the frame and the MRZ visible at the bottom, document type tabs (Auto, ID Card, Passport, QR), a Scan button and an upload icon

You can scan several documents in a row, or upload pre-scanned files for bulk processing, handy for groups. Both live scans and uploaded files are loaded into the reservation automatically, refresh the reservation in GuestPro to see them.

See the desktop guide for details on file upload, camera selection and reporting bad scans.
