Medatec Integration
Properties operating in Austria are legally required to submit guest registration data to the police. With the Chekin + medatec.at integration, this obligation is handled automatically, securely, and without manual work. From guest booking to legally compliant transmission, the entire process runs in the background so you can focus on your guests instead of paperwork.
✅ What does this integration do?
Chekin can automatically send guest registration data to medatec.at, which then delivers the information to the competent Austrian authorities.
The full flow looks like this:
Booking → Online check-in → Data validation → Automatic transmission to medatec.at → Digital records stored
No paper forms, no retyping passport data, no manual submissions.
