This offering ensures that hotels will not miss calls and customers won’t receive a busy signal or be placed on hold.  Employees can answer and transfer calls from any device, from any location. They can also easily change their messages on hold, and their voicemail and text messages, and add customized call flows themselves dynamically whenever they choose. Hotel managers can also use Unified Office’s analytics for an at-a-glance view of customer service responsiveness in real-time for pending guest requests for housekeeping, front desk, room service and other guest service offerings.

“It has been some time since hotels have been able to monetize services in their rooms beyond ordering from the hotel restaurant, video on demand and concierge services,” Pasquale added. “Our in-room portal enables hotels to partner with local vendors and earn commissions on services and goods ordered from the hotel room.”
