01 / THE CHALLENGE

See the portfolio. Understand the property.

Hotel groups need a high-level view of financial health without losing fast access to daily sales, banking, payables and operational detail for each property.

01

Portfolio visibility

Compare performance and financial status across hotels without flattening meaningful property differences.

02

Daily operational rhythm

Connect PMS sales, cash, credit cards, approvals and bank activity to the accounting workflow.

03

Exception awareness

Surface missing sales, unmatched transactions, overdue approvals and unusual financial movement.

02 / USERS & NEEDS

One platform serving three operating altitudes.

The information hierarchy must help executives compare the group, controllers govern financial work and property teams complete daily tasks.

HOTEL EXECUTIVE

Portfolio health

  • Compare occupancy and profitability
  • Review budget performance
  • Identify high-risk properties
CONTROLLER

Financial control

  • Monitor approvals and close
  • Review banking and reconciliation
  • Generate consolidated reports
PROPERTY TEAM

Daily completion

  • Verify sales and deposits
  • Process bills and approvals
  • Resolve property exceptions
03 / DESIGN DIRECTION

Progressive detail, not information overload.

A three-level model lets users begin with portfolio health, move into one property and then inspect the exact financial record that needs attention.

LEVEL 01

Portfolio overview

Group KPIs, comparison signals, property status and cross-portfolio exceptions.

LEVEL 02

Property workspace

Daily sales, cash, approvals, banking and local operational tasks.

LEVEL 03

Financial detail

Transactions, vendors, reconciliations, reports and audit history.

SHARED LAYER

Reusable patterns

Consistent filters, status language, date context and action placement.

04 / DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Hospitality context should never disappear.

Property, business date and operating status are as important as the financial values displayed beside them.

01

Preserve portfolio context

Keep property and group scope visible when moving between financial modules.

02

Pair hospitality and finance

Connect occupancy, ADR and RevPAR signals with revenue, expenses and profitability.

03

Turn exceptions into work

Every warning should explain what happened, where it happened and what to do next.

04

Support daily operating rhythm

Organize the experience around repeatable sales, banking, approval and close activities.

05 / CORE JOURNEY

From portfolio signal to resolved exception.

A representative journey for investigating a property-level variance detected from the group dashboard.

01Open portfolio

Review group-level financial and hospitality KPIs.

02Spot exception

Identify a property with missing or unusual activity.

03Open property

Enter the hotel workspace with context preserved.

04Review detail

Inspect source, amount, owner and financial status.

05Resolve or assign

Complete the task or route it with accountability.

06 / RECONSTRUCTED WIREFRAMES

A hierarchy built for hospitality.

These low-fidelity reconstructions communicate the proposed portfolio-to-detail architecture without claiming to be historical source files.

01 PORTFOLIO
02 PROPERTY
03 EXCEPTION
04 REPORTING
07 / KEY DECISIONS

Make hotel performance actionable.

The dashboard must bridge hospitality metrics and financial work rather than display them as disconnected information.

ALL PROPERTIES

Persistent portfolio scope

Users always know whether they are viewing the group or one hotel.

OCC 82%ADR $146REVPAR $120

Hospitality-aware KPIs

Operational metrics sit beside financial signals to strengthen interpretation.

7ITEMS REQUIRE ATTENTION

Action-focused exceptions

The overview prioritizes incomplete work and risk over passive totals.

08 / VISUAL EVIDENCE

Public product context, presented transparently.

The current public website supports the product context. Authenticated internal workflows are represented only through clearly labeled reconstructions.

09 / INTENDED OUTCOMES

Stronger visibility across every property.

Without access to historical analytics, these outcomes are framed as design intent instead of unsupported performance claims.

01

Faster portfolio scanning

Executives can identify outliers and compare hotels without opening every property.

02

Clearer daily accountability

Property teams can see incomplete sales, banking and approval tasks.

03

More confident drill-down

Users move from KPI to financial source while preserving property and date context.

REFLECTION
The best multi-property experience makes the portfolio understandable without making each hotel feel generic.
