After being acquired in 2013 by hotel metasearch company Room 77 and later
launching a beta version, mobile tech platform CheckMate now claims its link to TripCase is the first such "in-app integration" for hotel check-in. Users before arrival "can easily upgrade their rooms, accept special offers, enter contact and payment information, update preferences and more," according to the company. "When their room is ready, they are notified of where they can then pick up their pre-programmed keys." Sabre has indicated that TripCase in 2013 handled 11 million trips and is projected to handle 25 million this year.
