It is becoming more common that this function is part of an apartment building-wide electronic lock system. Still using the same model but using a RFID key fob which also opens many other locks: front entrance, mail box, basement, etc.
There is often a web interface to the booking system in addition to a wall-mounted terminal in a hallway.
But using that terminal is often more convenient, as you'd often pass it twice every day anyway and you'd only need the key fob to "log in".
(I have worked on developing such a system, but before that I had been a regular user of a competitor's system in my apartment block for years)
