Property management system audit

A walkthrough of the PMS as it is actually used at the desk, in housekeeping, and in night audit — not as the vendor demonstrated it.

Typically 8–15 working days Quoted after a scoping call; deposits apply for on-site days

Most hospitality teams live in a property management system all day and still cannot say, with confidence, what happens when a clerk amends a package, a supervisor voids a charge, or night audit reruns after a power cut. We sit at the desk with the people who already know the workarounds.

The audit is built around your live property, not a demo company. We inventory modules in use, watch a full arrival-to-departure cycle, and replay the night-audit checklist with the person who actually runs it. Findings name the screen, the role, and the operational consequence.

You receive a written report, a findings workshop with rooms and finance, and a short list of changes that can be made in configuration versus those that need the vendor. We do not sell or implement the PMS. We read it.

What we examine

  • Rate codes, packages, and how they post to the folio
  • Reservation create / amend / cancel paths and user roles
  • Housekeeping status, out-of-order rooms, and discrepancy reports
  • Night-audit sequence, allowances, and manual overrides
  • Guest profile fields, merge behaviour, and retention settings
  • Interfaces to door locks, telephone, spa, and POS

What you leave with

Written findings, ranked by guest-money and operational risk, plus a workshop with the rooms and finance leads.
