Congratulations! If you are here it is because you have a new opportunity and need to quote our solution to integrate the Grandstream system with the Hotel PMS.

The information below must be sent to char (sales@char.es) to be verified and guarantee the success of the installation:

• Country / City where the application will be installed:
• Hotel Name:
• Rooms:
• Dealer (Company name):
• Manager / Technician (Name, Tel, mail, …) to schedule the installation:
• PBX installed (model):
• PMS:

It is very important to detail the PMS system installed in the Hotel to verify that it is already supported by char. You can see the list of PMS integrated here.

In case the PMS is not listed, please provide a contact (name/mail) of the PMS company to give us the opportunity to contact with them and evaluate the possibility to make the integration with this new system. There is not any extra cost from our side.

The license is based on the rooms managed by char pmslink, so it is important to give us the exact number of hotel rooms.

Once this information is received, we will send you an e-mail with the quotation and our specifications to meet the basic requirements.

If you are a new customer/distribuitor, you can also be able to send your company details through our Registration Form in order to allow us the sending of quotes and Proforma Invoices.

Because char pmslink is a middleware between the PBX system and the PMS system, the first and more important requirement will be to have the PMS INTERFACE activated in the Hotel PMS system to integrate with char pmslink.

For example, in case of Oracle Opera PMS is installed in the hotel, you’ll need to ask the Hotel to have the following interface activated in Opera:

Name: “char – hmobile connect PMS IF” by cHar Desarrollo de Sistemas, S.L (name recently updated. Before its name was: TMS I/F – CHAR CONEXION PMS)
Part no: 5001-258
Type : TMS/IF
FKT Logo: CNX

For the rest of PMS systems, you’ll need to verify that the interface with 3rd Party applications is activated in order to exchange information (Check In, Check Out, Room Status, Reminders, …) bewtween the PMS and char pmslink.

Minimum Requirements

For the installation of char, you must provide us with a computer on which to install it, either on a cloud server or a local computer.

• The requirements of this equipment will depend on the complexity and integrated equipment. For the integration between a PMS and a PBX system, it would be necessary for pmslink to have at least 1 GB HD, 1 GB RAM and a Windows7 or higher O.S on a non-dedicated PC (physical or virtual).
• Internet access will be needed in order to enable char’s technical department to carry out maintenance, installation and the system start-up remotely. It is also needed for license activation and application download.
• We use Teamviewer15 to make the remote connection, you can use the following link to provide us with the Teamviewer’s ID.
• If the remote connection must be done through any other method, you must provide to char the connection data.
• PMS interface activated to allow the connection with char pmslink.
• System/Equipment interface activated to allow the connection with char pmslink.
• It is mandatory to have technical support from the PMS and/or any external system/equipment to be integrated with char pmslink, in order to make adjustments, data verification, driver setup, etc. in case of necessity.
• In order to integrate systems, a cooperation of all parts is needed (System/Equipment support, PMS support, End user support, Hotel IT Manager support, etc.)
• Call Prices: In case PBX integration, we need to receive information about the price of each type of call (local, mobile, special calls, free calls) to create a new Operator for Call Accounting.

In case a virtual machine will be installed instead a physical equipment, the minimum requirements (please contact us before) are:

• CPU CORE: 1
• RAM: 1 GB
• DISK SPACE: 10GB
• O.S.: Windows 7 or above (any current version of Windows)

We offer two ways to purchase char pmslink software:

• License Purchase mode
• Software Subscription mode

LICENSE PURCHASE MODE

It means that the buyer will be the owner of the license. It is a perpetual license. You are able to resell the license to the End User in case of Dealers.

The license is based on the total amount of rooms to be managed by the application and the systems to be integrated.

By the default, the license must support 2 devices, commonly used to integrate the PMS system and the PBX system.

In case you need to add any other external system (Hotspot, IPTV, …) you must add an additional device in charpmslink license (please contact us).

You can see the pricing in this page, where at the end of the page you will find a calculator to calculate the price of the license. You only need to insert the total of rooms (devices=2).

The license purchase includes:

• License
• Remote installation / Systems start up
• First year of Remote Technical Support

For more details, please contact us: sales@char.es

Software Subscription MODE

This is the Software Subscription mode. That means that you pay an annual fee for the using of the license, including:

• License use Rights
• Remote Technical Support

Using this method, the Hotel will not invest an initial amount of money to have char pmslink.

The Hotel may unsubscribe this service in case it is not needed any more (must be notified in advance).

The annual fee price has been studied to be very competitive and a good option to have in mind.

It is important to mention that the remote installation and technical support are included in the price of the annual fee.

You can see the pricing in this page, where at the end of the page you will find a calculator to calculate the price of the license. You only need to insert the total of rooms (devices=2).

Regardless of the purchase method (license or Software Subscription) the first payment must be always done by advance.

We accept bank transfers and payments through PayPal.

You have to take into account that char must receive the exact amount of EUROS indicated in the quotation.

Any kind of commision, bank transfers costs, paypal commisions, taxes, etc must be taken into account before to make the payment.
