Aptech PVNG review

Aptech has built hospitality financial software for more than 50 years, and PVNG is its accounting product for single hotels and management companies. The general ledger accepts imports from PMS, payroll and POS systems, supports multi-company processing and produces consolidated financials. The chart of accounts and statements follow the 12th Edition format, which saves a controller from building USALI reports by hand. Statistics such as occupied rooms can be entered during invoice entry and flow into financial statements, which helps with per-room cost reporting. The accounts payable module covers integrated intercompany payables, invoice scanning, automated invoice processing, ACH and MICR check printing, plus bank reconciliation and fixed assets. PVNG can be installed locally or hosted. Budgeting comes from Aptech's separate Targetvue tool and dashboards from Execuvue, so a full stack means three products. Prices are not published.
