eCapEx automates hotel CapEx approval by integrating requests, approval workflows, budget management, dashboards and reporting in one platform.

Whether managing five properties or a global estate, hotel owner/operators can improve governance, accelerate approvals, and maximise return on capital investments with eCapEx.

Additionally, the technology behind eCapEx can be quickly deployed to other hotel back office workflows.

Features and functionality

For the hotel industry, efficient management of capital expenditures is crucial for increasing operational efficiency, retaining competitive advantage, and improving guest satisfaction. However, capital expenditure management is challenging, especially if your approval process is still paper based.

Whether it’s upgrading the hotel lobby or refurbishing kitchen facilities, managing the associated budgets, supplier quotes, business cases, vendor contracts, invoices, and tracking approved proposals manually on paper is inefficient and lacks visibility.

Developed by ePartner Consulting Ltd, eCapEx is a capital expenditure approval software that brings CapEx requests, approval workflows, budget management, dashboards and reporting together in one integrated platform.

This core CapEx functionality can be extended with additional capabilities for capital planning, forecasting and post-investment review, giving organisations the flexibility to build the CapEx management solution they need.

    “As an IT support group, we offer our business colleagues choices. The decision to select Process Director/Cloud Edition was made by the Divisional CFO, as the prototype of the CapEx process worked to his satisfaction. From an IT perspective, we were also genuinely pleased with the pilot.”

    “We love the simplicity of the system. The actual form has not changed much. You now complete it online. It still captures all the same information. Crucially, the quality of submitted requests has improved as certain fields are auto-filled, calculated automatically or contain rules such as a mandatory field or display a warning if certain conditions are not met. We’ve made the process tighter and more consistent.”

    “I have been really impressed by the speed with which this capability has been developed and how flexible it has been to meet our requirements.”
