Aptech Computer Systems Announces Strategic Partnership with Inova Payroll

Pittsburgh, PA – Aptech Computer Systems, Inc., one of the leading hospitality accounting and business intelligence technology companies, announced a strategic partnership with Inova Payroll, a national payroll and human resources service provider.

Aptech customers who select Inova's payroll and HCM technology will be able to view payroll expenses in Aptech's accounting systems, PVNG and Profitvue, and see labor information in Aptech's hospitality business intelligence application, Execuvue®.

"This partnership brings a new level of convenience and expanded service to the customers of both our companies," said Farsheed Ferdowsi, Inova Payroll's founder, president, and CEO. "My team's experience in providing value to the hospitality industry dates back almost 20 years, and we know it's important for hotel owners to have a 360-degree view of their business. That's what we're able to do through our partnership with Aptech."

Payroll and time and labor management are essential components of hotel operations and are key data points in property budgeting and forecasting. The quicker hotel operators can manage these functions and share that data with BI and accounting software the more profitably they can manage their business using timely information.

"Our clients tell us they need payroll and HR services that accommodate the unique requirements of the hospitality industry," said Cam Troutman, vice president of Aptech. "I think our customers will appreciate Inova's industry experience and benefit from the automated flow of data between our systems in managing their businesses. Both companies started out as boutique, customer-centric businesses. Our companies also share a passion for providing a smooth customer experience that will benefit our mutual clients."
