Opera PMS is the gold standard for hotel management,but its full potential is unlocked only when paired with a communication system that syncs data in real time.Redstone’s PMSI middleware bridges this gap,creating a seamless connection between Opera and Redstone’s REX series IP-PBX systems—automating tasks and enhancing guest experiences.
Check-in/out automation saves front desk time.When a guest checks in via Opera,PMSI sends their details(name,room number,stay dates)to the REX IP-PBX.The room phone activates instantly with a personalized greeting:“Welcome to Grand Hotel,Ms.Chen—press 9 for concierge.”Post-checkout,PMSI triggers a reset,clearing the guest’s data and preparing the phone for the next arrival.A hotel with 300 rooms reported cutting check-in time by 2 minutes per guest using this feature.
Wake-up call synchronization prevents errors.Guests schedule wake-up calls via Opera(or the front desk),and PMSI pushes the request to the REX IP-PBX.The system confirms the time,room,and language—no manual entry needed.If a guest changes their check-out date in Opera,their wake-up call updates automatically.A conference hotel using this integration reduced wake-up call errors by 95%.
DND and room status sync keep guests in control.When a guest activates“Do Not Disturb”via their room phone,PMSI updates Opera,alerting housekeeping to skip the room.Conversely,if housekeeping marks a room as“clean”in Opera,PMSI notifies the IP-PBX,letting front desk staff know it’s ready for check-in.A resort reported a 40%reduction in“room not ready”complaints after adopting this sync.
Billing integration ensures accuracy.External call data from the REX IP-PBX flows via PMSI to Opera,where charges are added to the guest’s folio.Rates are pre-set in Opera(e.g.,$0.20/min for domestic calls),eliminating manual calculations.A hotel in London used this to reduce billing disputes by 80%,as guests saw consistent charges in Opera and on their room phones.
VIP guest recognition elevates service.PMSI pulls VIP tags from Opera and flags them in the REX IP-PBX.When a VIP calls the front desk,the Attendant Console displays“VIP:Mr.Rodriguez—prefers Spanish,”letting staff tailor their response.A luxury hotel noted VIP guests“felt truly recognized”by this personalized touch,increasing repeat stays by 15%.
In summary,Redstone’s PMSI middleware turns Opera PMS and REX IP-PBX into a unified team.By automating data sync,it reduces errors,saves time,and enhances guest experiences—proving that integration is key to modern hotel efficiency.
