Docyt vs hotel BI tools
Docyt vs Otelier, ProfitSword and HelloGM
Hotel BI tools read PMS exports, post a summarized income journal into someone else's ledger, and show a P&L that is only as current as the month-end close.
Docyt's BI Suite reads the ledger Docyt itself reconciles every day, so the flash, the P&L and the forecast agree to the penny.
Why operators compare Docyt to hotel BI tools
Otelier, ProfitSword and the former HelloGM solved a problem: hotel operators could not get a flash report out of their accounting system. The cost was a second system, a mapping project per property, and numbers that disagree with the books.
Docyt removes the seam by making the flash, the forecast and the ledger the same system.

Where Docyt is different
What changes when you switch.
The chart of accounts is the backbone. Docyt is the chart of accounts.
BI vendors map your ledger into their model and drift every time it changes. Docyt's flash reads the ledger it reconciled that morning.
Payments, accounting and BI in one loop
Invoice, approval, payment, bank match, GL, dashboard. No REPAY plus M3 plus a bank plus a BI tool.
Night audit that validates, not just files
DigiAudit and Digital Night Audit store and sign the pack. Docyt reconciles PMS revenue to ledger to deposit every night and raises the exception.
AI shipped, not beta
Docyt AI answers portfolio questions with the evidence attached, drafts variance commentary, and runs anomaly detection before close, in production today.
HelloGM simplicity, ProfitSword roll-ups
GM-friendly Daily Flash and Night Audit Sign-off for select-service owners, with portfolio roll-ups and owner reporting for management companies.
Transparent per-property pricing

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep Otelier or ProfitSword and use Docyt for accounting?
Yes, Docyt can feed summarized actuals to an existing BI tool. Most customers retire the BI tool once the Docyt BI Suite is live, because the mapping project disappears.
Does Docyt have labor scheduling like Actabl's Hotel Effectiveness?
No. Docyt tracks labor cost per occupied room daily and posts payroll entries, and works alongside Hotel Effectiveness, M3 Labor or UKG for scheduling.
What happened to HelloGM?
HelloGM was acquired by myDigitalOffice in 2023 and is now sold as Otelier OpsPack; hellogm.com redirects to otelier.io. Docyt offers select-service operators GM dashboards, reconciliation and AP with published pricing.
Does Docyt integrate with STR?
Yes. STR data appears in operating statements and Daily Flash for comp-set context.
