ORLANDO (Aug. 8, 2005) – Orlando-based Safemark
Systems announced its selection as the preferred vendor for in-room
safes at Wyndham properties across North America. As pioneers in
their respective industries, Safemark Systems and Wyndham have forged
a partnership that reinforces the hotel company’s commitment
to providing its guests with the highest quality of service.
Safemark Systems is known throughout the security
industry for its innovative, revenue-generating programs that allow
hotels to install advanced electronic safes in their guest rooms
without increasing room rates. The new agreement with Wyndham furthers
Safemark’s growing association with leading hotel chains in
the hospitality business.
“Wyndham takes pride in its upscale reputation
and wants each guest to feel at home on property, and this new partnership
helps enhance that sense of security to ensure our guests have an
enjoyable, worry-free stay,” says Jim Dixon, director of purchasing
for Wyndham International. “A leader in its industry, Safemark
offers the same level of service Wyndham adheres to by providing
us with an easy-to-use sales and installation process.”
Since pioneering the guestroom safe concept in the
hotel market, Safemark has concentrated a large percentage of its
resources to developing and managing highly specialized programs
tailored to the specific needs of each hotel partner. Currently,
more than 400,000 Safemark safes have been installed in properties
throughout the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
“Wyndham shares our same vision of seamlessly
integrating the products necessary to provide their guests and our
end consumer with a reliable experience,” says John Foley,
vice president of Safemark Systems. “The mutual interest in
quality products and customer service ensures that each guest rests
even easier while at every Wyndham property.”
