Connecting to PUI on your own vs PUIhoteles
Connecting to PUI on your own is legal and possible, but it requires an e.firma, a portal profile, LlaveMX, registering a query URL with JWT and TLS, and delivering cybersecurity reports (SAST, DAST, SCA). That means months of work and a dedicated developer. PUIhoteles gets you ready in days, with no technical team. Here is the honest comparison of effort, time and risk.
Yes, you can do it yourself — but look at what it takes
Let’s be fair: nothing stops you from connecting to PUI yourself. The platform is the government’s and the path is documented in the Technical Manual. If you have a competent development team and time to spare, it is perfectly possible. We are not going to tell you it is impossible, because it isn’t.
What we do want you to see clearly is the real list of requirements before you decide. It is not “filling out a form”: it is a technical project with digital identity, cryptography, your own endpoint and security audits. For most lodgings, that cost and time make no sense against a ready-made service.
What connecting on your own requires
Each piece is a real procedure or technical task. Add them up and you’ll see why it takes months.
Tax-office e.firma
Obtain and maintain the electronic signature the platform requires to identify your hotel.
LlaveMX
Create and configure the government’s digital identity used for access.
Portal profile
Register your establishment on the official portal and complete the enrolment.
Query URL with JWT and TLS
Build and publish a secure endpoint that answers the queries, with JWT tokens and TLS transport.
SAST, DAST and SCA reports
Deliver cybersecurity audits of your code: static analysis (SAST), dynamic analysis (DAST) and dependency analysis (SCA).
Capture, registry and upkeep
And you still have to capture identity, keep the registry and maintain the system with every change to the rules.
Effort, time and risk: side by side
The same goal, two very different paths.
Ready in days, not months
PUIhoteles already has the encryption, endpoints and technical compliance solved. Doing it yourself takes months of development.
No need to hire a developer
You need no technical team or infrastructure. On the do-it-yourself path, a dedicated developer is practically mandatory.
The security risk is yours
On your own, the SAST/DAST/SCA audits and endpoint security are on you. PUIhoteles takes that part off your plate.
What you don’t see: the never-ending upkeep
The project does not end the day you connect. PUI regulation keeps evolving: manuals change, security requirements get adjusted, formats are updated. Each change forces you to maintain your integration, repeat audits and re-test. That is ongoing work, not a one-time effort.
With PUIhoteles that upkeep is ours. We follow the regulation, update the connection and make sure you stay compliant, connected to R2 OS in real time. You focus on welcoming guests, which is what you do best.
For $4,350 MXN setup plus $930 MXN per month (plus VAT), with no lock-in, you avoid the cost of a development project, a developer’s salary and the risk of falling out of compliance every time something changes.
With PUIhoteles, the short path
We handle the technical side. You just welcome guests.
- We get you registeredWe arrange your e.firma and LlaveMX, and prepare your profile for the platform.
- You capture from day oneYou start recording your guests’ identity right away, without waiting for the technical part.
- We connect you to the federal platformWe build and operate the secure query URL for you when SNIP allows it.
- We stay on itWe keep the integration current with every rule change and answer the queries, connected to R2.
