Case Study: Canalta achieves $750,000 annual savings and reduces month-end close to two hours with Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis

Canalta - Customer Case Study

Canalta, a family-owned Canadian hotel group with 40+ properties and more than 3,000 employees, faced fragmented property management systems and manual processes that hindered timely, trusted financial data. Hotel managers were spending the equivalent of 25,000 hours a year on data entry (about $750,000), and month-end close could take up to three weeks, undermining the company’s customer-first “I-can’t-believe-they-did-that” service philosophy.

Canalta implemented ServeVita’s Hotel Management module integrated with Unit4 ERP to create a single “golden record” of hotel and financial data, automating PMS feeds into one platform. The result: eliminated 25,000 hours of manual work (~$750,000 annual savings), cut month-end close from three weeks to two hours, reduced billing from three people eight hours/day to one person two hours/day, and freed staff to focus on guest service while gaining real-time, drill-down reporting and improved procurement visibility.
