"We wanted a proven hospitality budgeting and forecasting system that would provide our varied properties with accurate forecast reporting," said Andrea Mue, EVP and CFO for Chartres Lodging Group and Kokua Hospitality. "I have designed budget systems and understand what is important. We evaluated several systems and Aptech's Targetvue system's management of our specialized budgeting and forecasting needs out-performed the others." Chartres/Kokua also selected Aptech's cloud-based Execuvue Hospitality Business Intelligence, and PVNG Enterprise Accounting Systems. The systems are expected to be live in the Q2 of 2018.

"Aptech's PVNG Enterprise Accounting and Execuvue Hospitality Business Intelligence are integrated to seamlessly exchange data. This integration saves manual processing time and ensures accuracy," Mue said. "We know the importance and value of investing in business intelligence and look forward to having our monthly reporting packages deliver more performance information in flexible formats. Kokua's property teams will benefit from greater corporate visibility into operations, while our corporate team and our owners will benefit from the teams' ability to optimize profitability and manage by the numbers."

"Kokua Hospitality is a flexible operator with a portfolio of multiple brands and independents that span the country. Aptech's integrated cloud-based systems are a good fit for their operation," said Jill Wilder, Aptech VP.
