Interface Internet Central.
This interface integrates the CorioTech internet centrals. Coriotech implements 'Internet Centrals' for hotels and other businesses. An Internet Central enables you to sell Internet Access using your own existing broadband Internet connection. You define the sales price per time unit, and resell it to your customers. A guest that wants Internet access, receives a code and password in order to go onto your own network and obtain Internet Access. The Coriotech Internet central offers wireless Internet access, or it can be delivered using an Internet Kiosk in the lobby.
The interface enables you to automate the sales of Internet access to your guests.
How does it work?
- The guest requests reception to get Internet access for (e.g.) one hour.
- The receptionist retrieves the guests room, and posts the Internet Access sold (For each time-unit sold a posting button is available).
- The wInner system automatically sends a request to the Coriotech Internet Central indicating the time required. After validation, the Coriotech Internet central sends a User-ID and Password to the wInner system.
- The User ID and password are printed on the reception printer and delivered to the guest.
- Using the code and password, the guest can now log onto the hotel's protected network and surf during the period that was paid for.
Advantages of this Interface are:
- Reception is obliged to first post the revenue before any access code is generated.
- It is guaranteed that revenues are posted before the Internet Access is given to the guest.
- Requesting and printing of the user code and password is done automatically. This avoids the double work of manually obtaining codes, printing them, and manually posting the charges to the guest room account.
