Our system includes essential features such as the front desk and night audit, designed to prioritize accuracy while minimizing the need for excessive keystrokes and clicks.

Customized Night Audit Procedure
The night audit procedure is highly customizable depending on the needs of individual customers. Each customer can elect to have a sophisticated night audit, a simple night audit or none at all.
