Thistle Hotels, the UK's third largest hotel group, has implemented an order processing system for its food, beverage and housekeeping supplies that will save the company more than £150,000 a year.
The system, from hospitality e-procurement company Makella, reduces the cost of the purchasing process as well as software licensing fees by enabling Thistle to move from SAP Enterprise Buyer Professional to a standard version of SAP"This flexibility is essential in the hospitality industry, where vital food orders for the following day are often made by chefs after evening service," said Neville.
Makella has connected Thistle with all of the hotel's suppliers, ranging from small businesses with little or no electronic trading capability, to corporates with their own proprietary systems.
Liam Taylor, managing director at Makella, said electronic trading is used by about 10% of the hospitality industry, but this is growing as chief executives begin to understand the cost savings they can realise through e-procurement.
"Taking control of the supply chain, consolidating suppliers and product ranges, and improving efficiency through managing procurement across a group according to set policies and procedures, all helps to cut cost out of the process," he said.
