Drive efficiency and cost savings

Our award-winning purchase to pay system has helped operators secure millions in efficiency savings by streamlining procurement, reducing indirect spend and automating invoice processing.

Delivering hospitality purchasing software in 1,120 sites across Ireland, we help our clients maximise service delivery from their suppliers, significantly reduce administration time by automating processes and save costs through more accurate cross checks.

With an average €92 million worth of transactions per month**, across more than seven thousand suppliers, we’re trusted by our customers, to help deliver one of their most complex operational areas.

Why use our procurement system?

  • Significantly reduce admin time - Automate processes such as invoicing and cross-checking deliveries instead of laboriously reconciling deliveries against invoices.   
  • Make valuable cost savings - By confirming delivery quantities within the system, you can only pay for what you receive. Additional price comparison functionality shows you alternative suppliers and costs at point of purchasing.   
  • Improve relationships with suppliers - Suppliers can quickly and easily update prices and products. Automation speeds up the process and increases accuracy, meaning there are fewer delays to payment.   
  • Achieve GP targets - With accurate real-time reporting, you can easily track spend vs. sales, giving you a complete picture of your GP at any time. Get an alert if users go over GP target, so you can act quickly to resolve any issues. 
  • Increase compliancy - Our hospitality purchasing software records all product nutrition, calorie and allergen information which ensures your compliance with food labelling legislation and keeps your customers safe.
