Transform Your Finance and Procurement Operations, Simply and Effectively
The pressure on Finance and Procurement leaders in Food, Beverage and Hospitality (FBH) has never been higher. They are facing headwinds like competition from home delivery and changing customer expectations. All putting pressure on the bottom line. They need to gain visibility and control of their spend and drive efficiency. All while delivering measurable value and not disrupting business operations.
It’s a big ask to do on your own. We’re here to partner with you to achieve just that. Our source to pay solutions and expert team can help you achieve measurable value.
Our Industry Expertise
We have a deep understanding of the unique challenges and requirements facing FBH businesses.
- Complex Supply Chains and Inventory Management. Managing diverse suppliers and extensive inventories can be overwhelming. Inefficiencies in these areas can lead to stockouts, overstock and increased costs.
- Compliance and Food Safety Regulations. Compliance with food safety and hygiene standards requires robust tracking and reporting capabilities. Non-compliance can result in costly fines and damage to your reputation.
- Growing Operational Costs Business are often operating on thin margins. Controlling costs without compromising quality or customer experience is a constant challenge.
- Seasonal Demand. Adapting to variations in demand requires flexible procurement and inventory management processes.
- Manual and Paper-Based Processes. It can be difficult for businesses to move away from older manual processes. Manual processes can lead to errors, delays and lack of visibility. This inefficiency can hinder decision-making and cost control.

Success Stories
Case Study: Driving Spend Visibility for a Leading Hospitality Group
Valtatech partnered with a leading Australian hospitality group to overhaul their S2P operations.
Challenge.
Our customer had spend-related data across 12 different platforms. This included ERP, HR, inventory, point of sale, and specialised industry platforms. To achieve true spend visibility these platforms needed to be integrated together.
Solution.
Our Integration-as-a-Service approach integrated the data with their new S2P platform. Our team of integration experts designed and maintained the integrations for our client.
Outcome.
We established a connected S2P system with a single source of spend truth. This provided our client with unparalleled visibility into their procurement and financial operations. As a result:
- They gained complete visibility into spending across all integrated systems.
- Procurement processes were optimised, enhancing financial transparency.
- Operational efficiencies were significantly improved, paving the way for strategic growth and scalability.
