Memo_______________________________ To: NJENGA MUNGAI From: JOSIAH GICHUKI CC: YONATHAN ABRAHAM Date: November, 02nd 2023 RE: MODERN IP TELEPHONE SYSTEM-GREAT RIFT VALLEY LODGE We are writing to propose the installation of a modern Telephone system (IP PABX) in our hotel. This upgrade is essential for improving the efficiency and quality of our communication infrastructure, which is vital for enhancing the overall guest experience and operational performance. Reasons for Implementing a Modern IP PABX System: 1. Enhanced Guest Experience In the hospitality industry, communication plays a crucial role in ensuring a positive guest experience. A modern IP PABX system offers a range of features such as Call center capability, Auto Attendant (Virtual Receptionist), Call Queues, Call monitoring & recording, Call detailed records, Extension follow me ( Soft Phones that can be installed on the staff Mobile phones), and high-quality audio that enhance guest satisfaction. It allows guests to have smoother interactions with our staff, request services, and access essential information easily. 2. Seamless Communication The current telephone system in our hotel is outdated and limited in terms of functionalities and support. With an IP PABX system, we will ensure seamless communication not only within our hotel but also with external parties. This system enables us to have clear and uninterrupted voice and video calls, making it easier for our staff to coordinate tasks and provide assistance. 3. Integration with Other Technologies The IP PABX system seamlessly integrate with various other technologies and applications. This includes property management systems, guest room automation, and customer relationship management (CRM) software. The integration will enable us to streamline operations, manage reservations, and access guest information more efficiently. 4. Future-Proofing: Technology evolves rapidly, and it is essential for the hotel to remain competitive and adaptable. A modern IP PABX system is designed to accommodate future upgrades and advancements in communication technology, ensuring that we are well-prepared for emerging trends and guest expectations. We recommend that we consider the installation of a modern IP PABX system as an investment in the future success of our hotel. It will not only improve our service delivery but also contribute to cost savings and operational efficiency. Below is the cost breakdown of the proposed Project.
