Configuring Property Interface
Property Interfaces are integrations with systems such as door locks, on-demand video, call accounting, PBX, voicemail, point of sale, minibar, payment, building management and WIFI/Internet; that require reservation check in and check out details. Events such as an arrival, room move or departure trigger room and reservation details to be sent to various property interfaces. Systems such as call accounting, minibar and point of sale can also post charges to reservation and AR accounts. Integration with payment solutions, for pre-auth, settlement and refunds is also processed via property interfaces.
