The Access Group acquires long-standing reseller Procure Wizard Ireland (trading as Access Hospitality Ireland)
The Access Group has formally acquired procurement software reseller Procure Wizard Ireland in its latest investment in best-of-class technology to provide further support for customers in the UK and Ireland. Access Hospitality is one of the UK’s leading providers of software solutions for the hospitality and leisure sector and is committed to bringing innovative products to market that simplify processes, streamline operations and improve profitability, and the guest experience.
Procure Wizard Ireland is a reseller of the market leading procurement solution Procure Wizard, which the Access Group acquired in 2018 and which continues to drive savings equating to many millions of pounds for hospitality and leisure operators. The software streamlines the procurement process, reduces indirect spend and automates invoice processing, giving visibility and control over expenditure and supplier relationships that is second to none, resulting in crucial savings to the bottom line.
Henry Seddon, managing director of Access Hospitality, said “The acquisition of Procure Wizard Ireland demonstrates our commitment to investing in technology in the Irish market. We see a lot of potential in this area and it gives us a great base to introduce our incredible suite of hospitality products to the vibrant hospitality sector, offering them even greater business support from our integrated technology suite.
“With margins being squeezed and costs rising across the board, Procure Wizard is a great solution that enables operators to control their costs and maximise service delivery. By adding Procure Wizard Ireland into the Access Hospitality family we will be able to provide customers with a technology transformation that combines cost savings with other operational improvements, software to deliver great guest experiences, and the tools needed for effective, productive and compliant workforce management – all of which combine to give operators the freedom to focus on the best guest experience.
“The Access Group invests heavily in people and has a great cultural fit with Procure Wizard Ireland (t/a Access Hospitality Ireland) so we’re looking forward to working together more closely to provide technology that makes a powerful impact for our customers.”
David Noone, founder of Procure Wizard Ireland commented “We’re thrilled to be joining The Access Group as they share our passion for building highly innovative software supported by world-class customer support. Procure Wizard Ireland couldn’t be a better fit in the Access Hospitality family, so this is an exciting time for the team, and for our customers.
“We started Procure Wizard Ireland in 2015 as a reseller of Procure Wizard, which is also part of The Access Group, with a mission to bring purchase to pay capabilities to hospitality operators all over Ireland, enabling them to streamline processes, gain visibility over operations, save time and importantly, control costs. These factors are, arguably, even more important today than they were then.
“The suite of innovative Access Hospitality technology products has helped transform many businesses in the sector and their acquisition of Procure Wizard Ireland opens the door for greater support in our home market. We will be working with our existing customers to ensure that they can benefit from ongoing product development and customer success initiatives to assist meaningful and profitable business development.”
The acquisition is the latest in a series of technology solutions that have been successfully integrated into the Access Hospitality family, the most recent being the award-winning staff rota software, Rotaready.
