Benchmark to Standardize Properties
NORTH BERGEN, NJ, March 31, 2006. Benchmark Hospitality International is standardizing its 33 conference centers and hotels, using Aptech's Profitvue enterprise back office business accounting software.
Installation of Aptech's hotel software is underway with completion anticipated by year end. Alison Yee, operations controller for Benchmark Hospitality International, said, "By standardizing all its properties on the Profitvue system, Benchmark can provide daily asset performance analysis for more profitable hotel management decisions for owners. We are also installing Profitvue in Benchmark's home office to enhance synergy between corporate accounting and our properties."
Yee continued, "It makes strategic sense for Benchmark to install financial accounting systems at our home office that are consistent with systems at our managed properties."
Benchmark Hospitality International, based in Texas, specializes in professional management of high quality resorts, hotels and conference centers for more than 20 ownership groups.
Aptech Director of Sales, Cam Troutman said, "Profitvue back office is a perfect fit for Benchmark because it allows the company to develop its own uniform corporate-wide reporting and chart of accounts for side-by-side performance evaluations. Benchmark's properties email these reports daily to the corporate office for real-time management review." Profitvue is designed specifically for the hospitality industry.
