A Cleaner Link Between Phones & the Front Desk
If your property runs on the Marriott Lightspeed PMS, your phone system should talk to it directly. The IntelliVoice hotel PBX connects to Lightspeed over the standard PBX/PMS interface, so a guest's phone comes alive at check-in and locks down at check-out automatically — no manual steps at the front desk.
Wake-up calls, message waiting lights, housekeeping status, and toll charges all flow between the PBX and Lightspeed in real time. The result is fewer errors, faster front-desk workflows, and every billable call posted to the right folio.

Why Hotels Choose IntelliVoice
Faster Front Desk
No manual phone activation. Check a guest in and the room phone is live; check them out and it's restricted — automatically.
No Lost Revenue
Every billable call is posted to the correct folio in Lightspeed in real time, so nothing slips through at checkout.
Cloud or Hybrid
Deploy fully in the cloud or as a hybrid with on-site survivability — with LTE/Starlink failover so guests are never cut off.
What the Lightspeed PBX Interface Handles
The IntelliVoice hotel PBX exchanges a continuous stream of guest and room data with Marriott Lightspeed. Every event the front desk or housekeeping triggers is reflected on the room phone in real time — and every billable call flows back to the folio. Here's exactly what moves across the link.
Phones activate on check-in and restrict to local/emergency only at check-out — no manual toggling at the desk.
Guests or staff set wake-ups; results (answered, no-answer) post back to Lightspeed automatically.
MWI lamps and stutter dial tone are driven directly by the PMS and voicemail platform.
Housekeeping enters clean/inspected and minibar codes from the room phone; status updates Lightspeed instantly.
Guest name and preferred language sync to the room so the phone and voicemail greet them correctly.
Toll and long-distance charges are rated and posted to the correct guest folio in real time.
Vacant rooms are locked to emergency-only, blocking toll fraud on unoccupied lines.
Move a guest in Lightspeed and their phone profile, restrictions, and charges follow them.
A Clean Cutover, Handled End to End
IntelliVoice connects to Marriott Lightspeed over the standard PBX/PMS interface (the same FIAS-family serial or IP link hotels have relied on for decades, modernized over TCP/IP). Our team configures and certifies the link, maps every room and class-of-service, and runs a full test matrix — check-in, wake-up, MWI, charge posting — before you go live.
Most properties keep their existing analog guest-room phones with the right gateways, so the upgrade is invisible to guests. See the full platform on our hotel PBX page, or compare other systems on our Oracle OPERA and Mews integration pages.
Marriott Lightspeed Integration Questions
Yes. The IntelliVoice hotel PBX connects to the Marriott Lightspeed PMS over the standard PBX/PMS interface, exchanging guest and room data for check-in/out, wake-up calls, message waiting lights, room status, minibar/maid status, and call charge posting to the guest folio.
Guest name and language sync on check-in, automatic phone activation/restriction on check-in/out, wake-up call scheduling and results, message waiting indicators, room status and housekeeping codes, class-of-service control, room moves, and real-time call accounting that posts toll charges to the guest folio in Lightspeed.
No. IntelliVoice deploys as a cloud or hybrid hotel PBX that speaks to Lightspeed directly. Existing analog guest-room phones can often be retained with the right gateways, or upgraded as part of the project. We handle the interface configuration and testing end to end.
Most single properties go live within a few weeks, depending on room count, cabling, and porting. We certify the Lightspeed interface and run a full test matrix before cutover so there are no surprises at the front desk.
