A powerful partnership delivers automation, intelligence, and new revenue opportunities for the global hospitality industry.
Orlando, Florida, 2 December 2025 – The hospitality sector, valued at more than $570 billion, is undergoing a dramatic financial transformation driven by rising operational costs, labor shortages, and the growing need for smarter, more efficient technology. Addressing these challenges head-on, Finexio, a leader in Accounts Payable Payments-as-a-Service, has announced a game-changing partnership with RipplePoint, the hospitality industry’s trusted SaaS expense analytics platform.
Together, they are introducing an end-to-end financial solution designed to streamline processes, eliminate manual workloads, and unlock hidden revenue potential for hotels, resorts, and restaurant groups.
For an industry managing thousands of vendor relationships across multiple locations, the partnership arrives at a critical moment. Hospitality businesses lose millions each year due to inefficient payment methods and time-consuming AP operations. Now, through this collaboration, operators can convert AP from a cost burden into a strategic profit generator.
At the core of the partnership is Finexio’s embedded payment automation technology combined with RipplePoint’s deep analytics capabilities. The integrated platform empowers hospitality organizations to reduce accounts payable processing time by more than 70 percent, improve security through JPMorgan-backed fraud protection, and earn new revenue through optimized virtual card programs.
Finexio’s founder and CEO, Ernest Rolfson, describes the collaboration as essential for the industry’s future. He explains that the complex financial landscape requires more than incremental improvements; it requires a complete redesign. RipplePoint CEO Dustin Reineke echoes this sentiment, calling the partnership a revolution in how hotels and restaurants manage expenses and vendor payments.
Early adopters of the combined solution are already seeing significant results, including reduced operational burden, increased revenue, and meaningful cost savings. For many hospitality groups, these efficiencies free up entire workweeks, allowing teams to shift their focus back to guests and strategic decision-making.
The integrated solution is now available to all RipplePoint customers, with Finexio offering immediate onboarding for hospitality operators seeking smarter, more profitable financial systems.
Finexio and RipplePoint’s partnership signals a major shift in hospitality financial management, one driven by automation, intelligence, and seamless digital payments built for a modern, competitive industry.
