FCS Unicorn
FCS Unicorn allows hotel chain or owner to group various hotels with different PMS, PABX and other 3rd party systems under one roof without the worry of complex interface requirements and management. We make it easy to streamline complicated integration work.
Unicorn is a web-based application that works with any major PABX and PMS. It can be installed onsite, hosted as a private cloud for a specific hotel chain, or FCS can host the software as a public cloud solution for any hotels. Unicorn may be the first application in the world that can offer hosted billing functionalities for all kinds of services including call billing, mini-bar posting, F&B, videos, Internet, bundle billing and others with multiple-interfaces supporting other 3rd party systems for seamless integration for billing to the PMS.
When Unicorn is installed onsite for one hotel, it can support up to 30 interfaces or 10 properties within the hotel chain. Unicorn is built to be completely scalable with flexible deployment models. If a hotel decides to add more interfaces or additional properties, they can simply add another Unicorn software license on the same server to support another 30 interfaces or 10 properties. As a cloud-based gateway for universal interface, guest data and billing, Unicorn helps to simplify complex interface requirements and system management.
Some key components of Unicorn
- Universal Interface Component (UIC): Manages all the universal interface capabilities that allows integration with multiple PMS and PABX systems.
- Universal Billing Component (UBC): Handles all types of billing calculations and billing schemas with various surcharges and taxation models.
- Universal Internal Interface (UII): Links all FCS systems together to Unicorn for data from the PMS, PABX and any other 3rd Party systems.
- Mega Interface (MI): Interfaces to other 3rd party systems like Internet Billing, VOD Systems, In-Room Controls and others.
