Aptech, a hospitality company providing the best in finance and accounting software for more than 50 years to hotels, will reveal a NEW dashboard for its PVNG enterprise accounting solution at HITEC Charlotte, to be held June 24 to 27 at the Charlotte (N.C.) Convention Center. Developed at the request of its customers, the tool provides a quick view of the status of a hotel’s financials from the previous night and more. All data is updated in the system in real time, enhancing the ability for hotel operators to make more informed decisions, improve efficiency, and achieve strategic goals.

“Aptech is known industrywide for exceptional support and quick response to our customers,” said Aptech President Jill Wilder. “Users asked us for fast access to financial and operational data – accounts payable, general ledger, statistical data – all on one screen and without having to execute multiple reports or inquiries to provide a pulse of where they are now and how they are progressing financially. PVNG was the only one of our three products that did not have a dashboard, so we went to work. Wanting to provide the most value, we asked specifically what they would like to be included on the dashboard – and we delivered.”

The PVNG Dashboard provides a quick glimpse of:

• Bank account balances for each bank account
• Open invoice balances for top five vendors
• Overall Accounts Payable Aging: Current / 30+ / 60+ / 90+ Days
• Comparative analysis on user selected KPI’s; Yesterday/Month to Date/Month to Date Last Year

“Our customers are saying they cannot wait to visit us at HITEC to see the dashboard in action,” Wilder said. “This tool will give users real-time access to data, enabling them to monitor performance and trends as they happen. This immediacy provides quicker reactions to changing conditions, such as market shifts or operational issues. The dashboard will also improve decision making. By consolidating data from various sources into a single, easy-to-understand interface, the PVNG dashboard will help operators work smarter, not harder.”

Just like the dashboards for its Execuvue (Business Intelligence) and Targetvue (Budgeting & Forecasting) solutions, the PVNG dashboard can be accessed from any web browser, enabling users to access all data via mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. This dashboard is a standard feature of PVNG and will be included in the next software release slated for July 2024.

“We encourage people to come by Booth 2644 at HITEC to see the PVNG dashboard and provide their input,” Wilder said. “This is the first release, and we will continue to develop the dashboard to provide more flexibility and information defined by our customers.”
