O'Neal Consultants has developed a system to constantly monitor problems
associated with cost control, and the capture and posting
of telephone department revenue. With the eSentri maintaining
a watchful eye on the operation of the many interrelated systems
that affect the successful collection of revenue, property
personnel are assured of optimizing revenue and controlling
costs.

The eSentri development is the outgrowth of 22 years of experience
in manually monitoring and managing hotel telephone departments.
Experience has shown that even if an on-site audit has just
been performed, unknown changes may take place that can either
cause an increase in expense, or a decrease in revenue capture
within days after an audit is performed.

The eSentri is poised to detect any changes that take place
after an on-site audit, and will maintain vigilance from that
point on. Because of its low cost, it is the best option for
a property to make sure the telephone department revenue and
cost is stabilized.
