Hospitality software company Actabl has unveiled its Digital Night Audit feature within the ProfitSword platform, transforming the traditional hotel audit process.

This innovation aims to replace manual, paper-based audits with a fully automated digital system.

Engineered for on-property teams and finance leaders, the feature enhances efficiency and compliance management across hotel portfolios.

The Digital Night Audit tool allows hotels to configure custom workflows, automatically compile reports, and track submissions and approvals in real-time.

With data stored for up to seven years, the feature ensures easy access for compliance reviews and audits.

This development promises to save staff time and reduce compliance risks associated with traditional nightly audits.

Actabl product development senior vice president Stephen German said: “For most hotels, night audits are still painfully manual. Dozens of reports are printed, marked up, scanned, and then filed away in storage units that cost money and collect dust.

“With Digital Night Audit, we’re removing that pain and replacing it with a smarter, faster way of working. Hotel teams and leadership get a standardised, real-time view into audit activity across their entire portfolio—bringing greater consistency, accountability, and efficiency to one of hospitality’s most outdated workflows.”

The feature provides hotel management companies with a consistent and controlled approach to monitoring audit activities. This enables management to oversee completion rates and identify exceptions without the need for direct oversight of property teams.

This marks a departure from previous methods, which often involved inconsistent processes and ad-hoc communication.

The introduction of Digital Night Audit transforms the verification of audit completions, which previously relied on emailed spreadsheets and physical documents.

A new digital checklist and centralised dashboard facilitate real-time tracking of progress and approvals, ensuring a more efficient and error-free process.

This electronic record-keeping also aligns with sustainable practices by reducing paper usage.

Last month, Actabl also launched ProfitOwner, a business intelligence platform for hotel ownership groups. This platform provides immediate, standardised data across properties.
