"You get a plant and you get a plant!"

We celebrated Earth Day this week with a plant library. Provided by our resident green thumb of the office Elena McGinn-Calvillo. Employees were encouraged to take plant clippings and directions on how to care for them home, to grow a little garden on their own. Thank you Elena, for your hard work and for making the Earth a little greener!

The workforce shortage didn’t go away. It changed the game. We teamed up with Ben Jackson to break it down.

After working with 300+ hospitality leaders globally, Ben sees one clear shift: Operators are prioritizing financial trust, not just speed. Because checkout isn’t the finish line.. that’s where risk actually begins.

The future isn’t more spreadsheets or faster processes. It’s a financial trust layer that validates every transaction across every system, deployable in weeks. https://hubs.la/Q04dcjTg0

That's a wrap on Marriott Franchise Forum 2026 for Randy Gerrans and Patrick Niersbach!

We had some incredible conversations focused on visibility, control, and moving away from spreadsheets for good.

If this is any indication of what’s ahead, conference season is going to be a big one! Looking forward to what’s next!

Your PMS and POS should talk. If they don’t, your team is doing the work.

That’s where errors, delays, and revenue leakage start.

Integration fixes it:
- Real-time, connected data
- Faster, more accurate billing
- Better visibility across the property

And more importantly, it creates a single source of financial truth.

Because disconnected systems don’t just slow you down. They cost you.

Headed to the Marriott Franchise Forum? So are we!

If financial processes are still fragmented across systems, properties, and spreadsheets, it’s time for something better.

We bring it all together as your financial layer of truth, automating reconciliation, surfacing exceptions, and giving you real control across every property.

Schedule time with us ahead of the show and let’s make the conversation count. https://hubs.la/Q049Y2wm0

More cards. More transactions. More risk.

Centralized reconciliation turns complexity into control.

-Catch discrepancies faster
-Reduce errors
-Scale without adding headcount

This is what financial truth looks like. https://hubs.la/Q049RZpF0

The average hotel finance team spends 40+ hours per month on manual reconciliation.

That is not a workload problem. It is a structural one.

When your close process depends on spreadsheets, inbox exports, and manual cross-checks, you are not in control of your financials. You are just managing the gap between what happened and what you can prove.

There is a difference between financial reporting and financial control. Most hotels are doing the former and calling it the latter.

What does your Q1 close actually look like right now?

Introducing Manual Mode - where reconciliation is done entirely in spreadsheets, emails, and late-night guesswork.

- Reconciliation Speed: 3-5 Days (per property, per night)
- Integration: None
- Support? Only you. Available 9-5 if well rested.
- Accuracy rates? Who knows!

…APRIL FOOLS. Or maybe for some of you, it's not.

There’s a reason modern finance teams are building infrastructure, not workarounds. Visit the Evention website to see how you can avoid the manual mayhem. https://hubs.la/Q0498xHB0

POS reconciliation is where financial truth starts.

But when data lives across systems such as POS, processors, and banks; manual processes can’t keep up.

Our latest blog breaks down how modern finance teams are fixing it, and why manual reconciliation isn’t built for today’s transaction volume.https://hubs.la/Q048Yq6N0

03/27/2026

94% of spreadsheets contain errors.

For a hotel finance team, that's not a fun fact. That's a liability.

Reconciliation built on spreadsheets means manual entry, version confusion, and gaps that don't surface until it's too late. The cost isn't just time. It's revenue leakage, compliance exposure, and audit risk that compound across every property. There's a better way to close the books. https://hubs.ly/Q048F7ZT0
