**The problem it solves** Hardware makers lack the cloud infrastructure and app tooling to ship IoT devices quickly, while STR and hotel operators need unified control over mixed smart-device ecosystems across properties. **What Tuya does** Tuya is a global AI cloud platform letting manufacturers build, launch and manage smart devices across thousands of categories including smart locks, with a Smart Hospitality vertical for rental and hotel operators. **How it works** Manufacturers embed Tuya WiFi or Bluetooth modules and build apps on TuyaOS and Tuya IoT Core; smart-lock vendors enable remote access, scheduling and monitoring, and the hospitality layer links lock state to PMS and booking data. **Who it's for** IoT hardware manufacturers, system integrators deploying hospitality automation, and STR operators managing Tuya-powered devices across properties.
