Mobile Devices for Property Management Software
|
RDP is pleased to announce our Mobile Devices capability,
designed to improve communication with guests and employees. The five
new modules below allow the RDP system to communicate with their guests
and employees via a wide variety of handheld devices, including smart
phones and tablets. The following devices are supported:
- iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
- Andriod 3.1 or higher
- Samsung Galaxy 7 & 10 inch
- Toshiba Thrive 7 inch
- Kindle Fire. Note: This must be a Fire as not all Kindles are supported
Mobile devices can be a
very cost effective method to improve communications, because the
mobile devices do not require a cell plan if a
wireless network is available. The links below provide
additional information on each functional areas within RDP that
utilize mobile devices:

The Mobile Devices module allows communication with guests via
text messages to their mobile
phones. This module includes:
| Text Reservation Confirmations
When a reservation is completed from RDPWin,
Internet Reservation Module (IRM.Net), or Global Distribution
System (GDS), the RDP system can send a text confirmation to
the guest.

Check-in Room Status
When a guest arrives at the property to check-in and
their room is not ready, the Mobile Device module can
automatically send a text to the guest to return to the front
desk and pick up a key when the room status is changed to "clean
and ready." |
 |
|
Guest Messages
Messages can be sent to the guest's mobile phone. For
example, when a package is delivered to the front desk the RDP
system can send a text to the guest to pick up the package.
A history of all messages for each reservation is available. |

Communicate with Wireless or Cell Technology
RDP mobile device technology can communicate using your wireless
network or cell technology. The most expensive part of a mobile
device such as an iPad is the cell calling plan, not the iPad itself. If a wireless network is available at
the property you will not have to purchase an expensive cell phone
calling plan. For example, a maintenance employee or housekeeper
could have an tablet that was connected only to your internal wireless
network, which provides free communication. If a wireless network
is not available then RDP mobile modules will communicate using Cell
technology and a calling plan for the device is required. |
