Imports eliminate rekeying
To increase hotel accounting staff efficiency, the Profitvue general ledger can import data from other systems including payroll (ADP, Paychex), PMS (OPERA, OnQ, FOSSE) and bank institutions (Positive Pay, Reconciliation). Through the Profitvue import process, ledger totals from the various systems are imported into the Profitvue general ledger error-free for inclusion in consolidated financial reporting without rekeying. In addition to general ledger imports, Profitvue can also import accounts payable information from purchasing systems such as Buy Efficient, Adaco and Stratton Warren.
