FCS Computer Systems (FCS) and Neorcha have partnered to deliver an integrated back-of-house and front-of-house solution for Rotana, one of the leading hotel management companies in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and Eastern Europe.

FCS' e-Connect system is a back-of-house application that enables automated dispatch of guest requests and interdepartment work orders. Functioning via a centralized call center, e-Connect enables hotels to achieve optimum efficiency and consistency in guest service levels at minimal cost by streamlining all guest requests across different departments.
 
Neorcha's myHotel application gives hotel guests instant access to real time information on hotel accommodation, food and beverage, and entertainment options, enabling guests to make the most of all the hotel facilities offered and make requests, such as refilling the minibar, requesting a mobile charger or ordering extra bedding.
 
"Increasingly, hotel chains require an application that will bring added value to their guests by centralizing the benefits of multiple systems and services in one common platform," said Eric Rogers, vice president EMEA for FCS. "FCS and Neorcha together provide hotel chains with multiple services that will offer guests a more satisfying hotel stay, since guest requests are issued directly from the app and dispatched directly to the correct department, who then follows operational escalation procedures."

The integration of FCS' e-Connect with Neorcha's myHotel completes the service delivery cycle, making sure every service request is completed, along with status updates. 
 
"Neorcha offers strategic value to our partners, because our platform plays an integral role in providing integration services for the hotel's operational systems, and putting those systems at guests' fingertips,"  said Roger El Khoury, managing director of Neorcha. "By integrating the two systems, hotel guests have access to a number of leading features, including the ability to create a new request from the myHotel app by selecting an option from the job list available via the FCS system."
 
Via FCS' e-Connect, the technology records a complete list of requests made for the duration of the guests' stay and provides hotel management with clear and detailed statistics to identify areas of improvement at any part of the process.
