Generate Revenue
With TEL’s
INN-FORM call accounting systems, properties can generate additional
revenue
and recover phone costs by
adding surcharges,
mark-ups, and taxes to guest
bills. Threshold billing and onsite programming features
allow hotels, motels,
and resorts
to customize
phone charges based on a
combination of flat fees, percentages, and per minute usage.
Revenue generated from the call tracking
system can be used to cover
other telecommunication costs, such
as long-distance
calls, equipment costs, line
costs, and system service repairs.
Reduce Telecommunication Costs
TEL’s call logging products
can help properties lower phone costs by tracking and recording
all phone calls in real-time. By tracking phone calls,
properties can detect misuse and abuse from administration
extensions,
accurately charge guests for phone usage, and optimize
their phone system through trunk analysis reports.
Full audit trails and daily activity reports
can quickly show managers which calls have been posted to
the Property Management System (PMS) and which ones have
not. If the PM System goes down, properties can continue
to bill clients directly from the call accounting system
and once up again, managers can generate custom reports to
help reconcile the PMS with the call accounting system.
Decrease Training Time
TEL’s hospitality call accounting systems interface to virtually all Property Management Systems
and to most phone systems. Setup and installation is quick
and easy, allowing properties to get up and running as
soon as possible. All calls are automatically posted to
the PMS and reports can be generated with the click of
a button. A simple interface, help features, and online
support are also available to further decrease training
time. For properties without a PMS, TEL’s
products can be used as a complete billing package for
guests.
Increase Guest Satisfaction
Increase guest satisfaction by decreasing
billing errors, providing discounts for VIP guests, and
making sure wakeup calls are made at desired times. Using
a call accounting system from TEL, properties
have a detailed record of all phone activity in a given
room and as a result can double check all guest bills and
thus decrease billing errors.
TEL’s INN-FORM products further
allow properties to set custom rates for special guests,
groups, owners, and long-term residents. By offering special
rates or discounts, guests feel a sense of loyalty to the
property and are more likely to visit again. Additionally,
properties can produce audit reports showing when wakeup
calls were set and if they were answered or not. This provides
a record to prevent any misunderstandings and can ensure
that customer service is at its highest.
