Why scalable back-office systems are key to seamless expansion and faster ROI
By Michelle Duffy, Percipient
With consolidation now the norm in the hotel sector, mergers and acquisitions show no signs of slowing down. Whether through mega-deals or niche group expansions, hotel groups are pursuing scale, and those who fail to adapt risk being left behind.
But as hotel groups expand, the real challenge lies in integration. While front-end systems, such as booking and check-in technology, are often prioritised, many businesses overlook a critical part of the puzzle: the finance function.
Don’t Let the Back Office Hold You Back
Too often, hotel groups fail to modernise their finance systems as they grow. As a result, financial reporting becomes fragmented, slow, and prone to error, undermining the very benefits of expansion.
To scale successfully, you need a finance system that’s built for growth. That means one that’s flexible, cloud-based, and powerful enough to bring together financial data from multiple sites, brands, and even countries, all in one place.
The Power of a Modern Finance Platform
With a centralised, scalable system like Sage Intacct, hotel businesses can:
- Streamline multi-entity consolidation with automated, real-time reporting
- Onboard new hotels faster, without manual data wrangling
- Track performance instantly across locations, departments, and brands
- Gain in-depth insights via built-in dashboards and analytics
- Ensure compliance with local, regional, and global regulations
The right system doesn’t just collect data — it turns it into actionable intelligence. Finance teams can identify trends more quickly, make smarter decisions, and respond more effectively to changing market conditions.
Built to Support Global Growth
Whether you’re expanding into new regions or acquiring additional brands, your finance system must keep up. A modern solution handles multiple currencies, entities, and tax jurisdictions with ease, ensuring smooth transitions and full compliance.
In an industry where agility is paramount, outdated legacy systems are simply no longer viable. By investing in a finance platform specifically designed for the hospitality industry, hotel groups can gain the visibility, control, and flexibility they need to thrive.
