Hotel Accounting Software for Africa: Books that are already written by the time the accountant sits down.
Biodux Accounts is accounting software for hotels. Room charges, outlet sales, stock movements and payments post to the ledger as they happen, so your accountant reconciles and reviews instead of retyping. Trial balance, income statement, balance sheet and budget variance are a click away.

Sound familiar?
The problems we hear about most
-
Retyping the front desk into Excel
Every morning someone copies yesterday’s sales into a spreadsheet, and every month-end the figures don’t tie.
-
Bank statements nobody has matched
Transfers from guests and companies sit unidentified for weeks, and the bank balance in the books is anyone’s guess.
-
The owner asks “are we making money?”
And the honest answer is “we’ll know when the auditors finish”.

FAQ
Biodux Accounts questions
Do we still need to post sales manually?
No. With Biodux PMS, POS and Inventory, room charges, outlet sales, stock and payments post to the ledger as they happen. Your accountant reviews and reconciles.
Can we keep using Microsoft Dynamics NAV?
Yes. Biodux PMS can send sales, taxes and receivables to Dynamics NAV if that’s where your group keeps its books. See the Navision integration page.
Does it handle VAT?
VAT is set up as part of your tax accounts, and it’s charged and posted from the front desk, outlets and purchase invoices.
Can our external auditors get the reports?
Yes. Every report exports to PDF or Excel, including the trial balance, ledgers and audit trail.
