In small or medium-sized hotels, front-desk employees have many duties including taking reservations,handling check-ins and providing tourist information all while remaining friendly, helpful, flexible and patient.

To increase employee efficiency and productivity, the communication system should be integrated with thehotel operations.

Since the solution is fully integrated in the OmniPCX Office it can be deployed without additional costs.
