CHICAGO, IL – May 5, 2025
Evention LLC, a global leader in financial automation, today announced the launch of Credit Card Analytics & Payment Optimization, a major enhancement to its industry-leading Total Recon platform. This innovative expansion empowers both hospitality and retail businesses to reduce unnecessary credit card fees, streamline reconciliation, and drive greater operational and financial performance.
With rising payment complexity and growing transaction volumes across hotels, restaurants, and retail stores, operators are facing increased risk involving chargebacks, downgrades, operational errors, and revenue leakage. Evention’s new solution delivers real-time, actionable insights to identify costly inefficiencies and align finance with frontline operations—resulting in measurable bottom-line impact.

Quantifiable Results Across Industries
In hospitality, a 200-room hotel used Evention’s Credit Card Analytics to:
- Reduce high-fee non-secure charges
- Maximize Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) opportunities
- Correct operational inefficiencies causing downgrades
- Improve their bottom line by over $13,000 per month, or $160,000 annually
