Built for hospitality

AP automation that understands supplier density.

01

Food and beverage cost control

Food and beverage invoices arrive daily from dozens of suppliers per venue. Every line is captured, coded to the correct cost category, and checked against agreed rates.

02

Multi-site operations

Owned, managed and franchised properties each have their own chart of accounts and approval chain. Site-level coding rules handle them all in one AP process.

03

Agency staffing invoices

Temporary staff agencies send invoices with varying rates, shift breakdowns and holiday pay. The detail is extracted and matched against timesheets and agreed terms.

04

Linen, laundry and contract services

Recurring contracts for linen, cleaning, waste and laundry produce high volumes of similar invoices. Each is checked against contract terms, with deviations flagged.
