A Web based call management package for small Hotels and Serviced offices

FreeHMS is a web based call management package for small Hotels, Guest Houses and managed offices. It is designed to work with FreePBX and Asterisk.

It allows owners to bill guests or users for the phone usage allowing guests to make calls, setup wakeup calls and access voicemail. Rooms are initially blocked from calling other rooms but can call Admin extensions with out being checked in. When a room is checked in they can make trunk calls and set up wakeup calls. When checking out any wakeup calls are removed and the voicemail is defaulted and all Voicemail messages are deleted.

Setting up the system is simple for Installer with minimal changes to the dialplan which are included in the custom configuration file. The system can be set to any language as all text is from a single configuration file which also includes currency and tax rate for billing. Users are created in FreePBX user admin so are easily changed and added.

Call rates are set using the rates page only available to the Admin users

Administration is simple and password controlled using the ‘User Managment’ module of Freepbx so changes to rates and rooms can only be carried out by the admin users, Reception users can log guests in and out, Create Bills and mark rooms for cleaning as well as set or cancel wakeup calls, The Housekeeping login only allows setting of rooms clean or not*. If a room is not marked as clean then that room cannot be checked in.

The software is fully web based and can be used on PC, Mac, Tablet or even smartphone.

The software is opensource and can be customised to suit most customers.
