Unreliable and inconsistent manual processes lead to errors.

01

Manual, time-consuming admin processes

Collecting and reconciling accommodation tax data eats up staff time with manual entry, spreadsheets, and back-and-forth emails.

02

Inconsistent reporting and limited data to inform planning

Decision-makers lack the real-time data they need to plan effectively and demonstrate impact.

03

Lost or delayed revenue collection, reduced compliance from operators

Delayed submissions, missed reminders, and calculation errors lead to lost or deferred revenue, and reduced compliance from accommodation operators.

The better way to collect.

Built for municipalities, DMOs, and accommodation providers, Ottomat replaces clunky, error-prone manual processes with trusted, secure automation.
