The HODL Inn in Heavener, formerly known for its classic charm, was facing a modern problem: an outdated and failing phone system. Their legacy Mitel PBX hardware was becoming a liability, and they needed a solution that was both reliable and cost-effective.

The Challenge: Outdated Hardware & Wiring Issues

The hotel's existing phone infrastructure was built on an old Mitel PBX system that was difficult to manage and expensive to maintain. To make matters worse, several rooms had phones that were no longer working due to wiring issues. The cost of completely rewiring the building would have been prohibitive, so we needed a solution that could leverage the existing infrastructure where possible.

The old, bulky Mitel PBX system that was replaced.

The Solution: Cloud-Based Grandstream PBX

Green Computer Systems (GCS) stepped in to provide a seamless upgrade. We replaced the aging hardware with a modern, cloud-based Grandstream PBX system managed directly by GCS.

Key aspects of the project included:

• Rewiring & Repair: We identified and repaired the non-working phone lines, ensuring every room had a functional connection.
• Cost-Effective Infrastructure: By creatively using the building's existing phone lines, we saved the client significant costs on cabling and installation.
• Seamless Transition: The switch was performed with minimal downtime, ensuring the hotel's operations continued smoothly.

Working with the existing wiring to save on installation costs.

The Result: ROI in Less Than 5 Months

The upgrade was a massive success. Not only does the HODL Inn now have a reliable, feature-rich phone system, but they are also seeing immediate financial benefits.

• Modern Features: The new Grandstream system offers advanced features that the old analog system couldn't match.
• Monthly Savings: Despite the cost of the new equipment, the monthly savings from the more efficient cloud-based service are substantial.
• Rapid ROI: The project is projected to pay for itself in less than 5 months through these operational savings.
