One record, three groups working from it.
A stay gets entered once, at the front desk. After that, the hotel, the state tax office and the system team all work from that same entry — each seeing only the part their job needs.

HotelsHotels, guest houses and short-lets
Sign in arriving guests, check their ID, and manage rooms, staff and payments. A hotel only ever sees its own guests.

See stays across the state and check the rules are being followed. They can look at guest records but not change them, and every time they look, it's logged.
System teamAdministrators
Set up new hotels and keep the system running. The only role that can see every hotel at once.
A paper guest book proves nothing. A shared record does.
OGIVS gives the hotel, its front desk and the state one shared record of every guest and every stay — the same one, updated at the same time.
Before OGIVS
- Guest books were on paper or in spreadsheets.
- Every hotel kept its own separate records.
- The state couldn't see who was staying where.
- Honest hotels had no easy way to prove they followed the rules.
With OGIVS
- One shared record for the hotel, its front desk and the state.
- Everyone sees the same up-to-date information.
- Who checked in, whose ID was confirmed, and where they stayed — as it happens.
- A full history the state can check itself, not take on anyone's word.
How a stay becomes a record.
From the guest at the front desk to the stay on the register — every step is checked, saved, and shows who did it.
Guest arrives
The front desk takes the guest's phone number and a photo of their ID.
ID checked
The ID is checked with the government office that issued it, straight away.
Stay recorded
The room and the dates are saved against the guest.
On the register
The stay joins one record the hotel and the state both work from, showing who entered it and when.

What the front desk tells us.
Operators across Oyo State on what changed at the desk once the checks were part of checking in.
Register your property“Check-in didn't get slower. The desk adds a phone number and a photo of the ID, and the result is back before the guest has finished the arrival card.”
“A few IDs a month don't check out. Before this, we had no way of knowing.”
“We can show we're following the rules without it coming down to someone's word.”
“When the revenue office asks about a month, it's already there. We're not going through a paper book to answer.”
“Rooms, guests, staff and what's owed sit in one place now, not across three notebooks and a spreadsheet.”
Add your property to the system.
Signing up takes a few minutes. ID checks start with your very first guest.
