CC Reconciliation Savings: Manual recon hours per hotel per day × number of hotels × 260 working days/year × blended labor rate = annual labor cost eliminated. Default inputs are drawn from live Smartsheet data across 133 hotels in a large global hotel brand's EMEA portfolio (August 2026), where 2 hrs/hotel/day of manual work was eliminated at a ~€30/hr blended rate.

Journal Entry Automation: Number of hotels × manual journal entries per month × 12 months = annual journal entries automated. Shown as an operational metric; not monetized separately in the savings total.

CC Analytics Opportunity: Total annual CC volume (CC volume per hotel × number of hotels) × sum of enabled lever percentages = estimated annual recoverable value. Lever defaults are drawn from 2025 transaction data from a major global processor across 25 hotels active on CC Analytics, and vary by region emphasis:

• Chargeback Win-Rate: target rate observed in a large global hotel brand's EMEA portfolio
• CNP Optimization: card-not-present routing reduction, weighted toward EMEA
• Downgrade Reduction: interchange downgrades from missing Level II/III data, weighted toward US
• Fraud & Refund Leakage: duplicate/invalid refunds and refunds exceeding original charge
• DCC Optimization: incremental DCC revenue and reduced interchange fees, informed by live customer case studies

Governance & Control: Unreconciled variances written off per hotel per year × number of hotels + total annual CC volume × processor billing errors % + audit and compliance review hours per hotel per year × number of hotels × blended labor rate.

• Unreconciled variances: processor-to-PMS settlement gaps written off today (short funding, missing deposits, fee discrepancies), recovered once every transaction is reconciled daily. Excludes refunds, which the Fraud & Refund Leakage lever counts.
• Processor billing errors: fees charged above the contracted rate — billing errors, unnotified rate changes and contract discrepancies — typically 0.08–0.12% of processing volume (default 0.10%). Excludes interchange downgrades, which the Downgrade Reduction lever counts.
• Audit & compliance review hours: answering auditor requests and pulling evidence for internal-control and PCI reviews. Excludes the daily reconciliation and month-end card tie-out, which the manual recon hours already count.

Est. Platform Cost: Scales from $10,000/hotel/year (single property) to $3,000/hotel/year (200+ hotels) using a logarithmic curve that reflects typical volume pricing. Used only for net value, net ROI, and payback figures — contact Evention for an exact quote.

3-Year Net Value: 3 × (total annual value − est. platform cost).

Net ROI: (Total annual value − est. platform cost) ÷ est. platform cost. Payback: est. platform cost ÷ monthly value.

Not included: One-time implementation fees · PMS/POS integration setup costs · FX rate movements · Time saved reviewing exceptions outside the daily reconciliation.
