PMS Developer Kit

To assist Property Management System developers in integrating the Lodging Link® product into their solution, we offer a developer kit loaded with software, samples, tools and documentation.

UHLL is a proprietary message language that communicates with more than 600 GSS devices currently on the market using the Comtrol’s lodging Link family of products.
