City ledger collection software for hotels, restaurant groups and event venues

Debtics clears the hotel city ledger: corporate direct-bill accounts, banquet and event balances, and travel agent or OTA receivables, every one chased automatically on your own approved templates. Each balance carries its own due date, reminder sequence and promise-to-pay record, so aging stops depending on whoever remembers to call the account. Disputes pause outreach until your team resolves them.

City ledger and direct billing
A balance moves to the city ledger the moment a direct-bill guest checks out, and from then on it belongs to nobody in particular. Debtics chases every one of those accounts on schedule and shows the ledger aging in real time, by account and by agent.
Banquets and events
The deposit gets collected, the event happens, and the balance waits on an invoice nobody raised. Every event balance gets its own due date and reminder sequence, with the signed event order and routing instructions attached, so the account has its evidence when the client queries it.
Travel agents and OTAs
Remittances arrive late, or arrive short with no explanation. Group receivables by agent, flag the short-paid portion as disputed so it stops being chased blind, and keep pushing the undisputed balance while the difference is worked out.
HOW IT WORKS

From first import to recovered payment, in four steps.

1
Onboard your AR ledger
Bulk CSV import with auto column-mapping, validation and duplicate detection loads every direct-bill folio, accrued event balance and agent account into the collections CRM.
2
Segment by account type
Corporate accounts, event clients and agents classify into Soft Touch → Firm Action by balance and days-past-due, each with a recovery-likelihood score.
3
On-brand reminders, automated
Five gentle-to-firm touchpoints across five business days, using your approved templates on WhatsApp, email and SMS, quiet hours always respected.
4
Promises, disputes, escalation
Record promises-to-pay from any call, auto-flag the broken ones, pause outreach on commission disputes, and escalate repeat offenders to management or legal.
THE PLATFORM

Everything a collection team runs on, in one system.

Debtor 360
Every account in one drawer, overview, contact history, promises-to-pay, portal messages, documents and notes. Agents act with full context, never from memory.
Smart segmentation & scoring
Accounts auto-classify into Soft Touch, Warm Chase, Firm Action, Legal Track and Write-Off by balance and days-past-due, with a weighted recovery-likelihood score.
5×5×5 automation engine
Five touchpoints across five business days at five times of day, repeating weekly until the debtor responds. Business days only; quiet hours and contact caps enforced.
Promise-to-Pay tracking
Record promises from any call or message. Broken promises auto-flag the day they lapse, and payments reconcile against the exact promise they fulfil.
Legal recovery track
Refer accounts to legal with case number and court. Cases flow Pre-Legal → Submitted → Judgment → Written-Off with a case timeline, an assigned handler and lawyer notes.
Defaulter self-service portal
Debtors view statements, message your team and raise disputes themselves. Objections pause outreach and notify your queue instantly.

FAQ

Common questions from hospitality teams.

Can Debtics handle corporate accounts, event balances and agent receivables together?
Yes. Direct-bill corporate folios, banquet and event balances and travel-agent receivables are each tracked with their own due dates and reminder sequence, under one Debtor 360 history per account. A corporate client that both direct-bills rooms and books events shows both balances separately, so a query on one does not stall collection of the other.
Will automated reminders feel too aggressive for hotel guests and partners?
You control the tone. Segments carry tone guidance from Soft Touch through Firm Action, every message uses your approved templates, and quiet hours plus contact caps limit how often any account is contacted. Nothing escalates in tone without the account first meeting the balance and days-past-due criteria you set for that segment.
A travel agent has short paid a remittance. How is that handled?
Flag the disputed portion and automated outreach pauses on it, while the undisputed balance keeps moving through its reminder sequence. The correspondence, the remittance advice and any supporting documents stay on the account record, so the person resolving the difference is working from the same file as the person collecting.
Can finance see the city ledger aging without asking the accounts team?
Yes. The dashboard shows live aging buckets from 0 to 30 days through 180 plus, alongside recovery rate, promise-to-pay rate and a six-month engagement trend. All eight reports filter by date range and export to CSV in UTF-8 with BOM, so a financial controller can pull the ledger position without waiting on a manual report.
We run several properties. Can we see one corporate account across all of them?
Yes. The same corporate client owing at more than one property can be worked as a single debtor account with a consolidated balance, rather than as separate receivables that each get chased by a different property. That prevents the common situation where one client receives three unrelated reminders in the same week from the same group.

Debt collection software for hotels and hospitality groups in Dubai, UAE

Hotels, restaurant groups and event venues across Dubai and the UAE extend credit every day, through direct-bill corporate accounts, group bookings, banquet balances and travel-agent remittances. The city ledger ages quietly while operations stay busy, and by the time finance reviews it the balances are months old. Debtics keeps the ledger moving: every account imported, segmented and chased automatically with on-brand, compliant reminders.

The city ledger is not the guest ledger. The guest ledger covers registered in-house guests; the city ledger is the receivable owed by everyone who has already left, including corporates on direct-billing privileges, travel agents, OTAs and event clients. A balance is born the moment a folio transfers across at checkout, and that is precisely the point at which it stops having an owner. Debtics picks it up there and puts it on a schedule.

In hospitality the balance is often unpaid because it is queried, not because the client cannot pay. A corporate disputes one line on a folio, or an agent remits short against a commission calculation, and the whole invoice stalls. Debtics separates the contested portion from the rest: the disputed amount pauses while the undisputed balance keeps moving, and the supporting documents stay attached to the account so whoever picks it up has the evidence in front of them.

The platform pairs a Debtor 360 view of every account with the 5×5×5 automated cadence across WhatsApp, email, SMS, IVR and push, promise-to-pay tracking with broken-promise flagging, a self-service portal where clients can view statements and raise objections, and eight chart-driven reports from aging buckets to agent productivity. Hospitality finance teams recover more without putting guest and partner relationships at risk.
