HOTEL GROUPSPROCUREMENT & SPEND

Hotel Procurement Software That Catches the Price Difference Between Your Properties

The same case of linen costs three different amounts across four hotels and nobody has the report that shows it. Conduit reconciles spend by property, department, vendor, and account, and flags the gaps worth a phone call.

The Problem

Every Property Buys Alone and the Group Pays for It

Procurement at group scale fails in the gaps between properties, and those gaps are exactly where nobody is looking.

The Same Item at Four Different Prices

Each GM has their own supplier relationship and their own agreed price. Nobody compares line items across the group, so the property paying 18% over never finds out and the group never uses its actual buying power.

Suppliers Nobody Approved

A purchase order goes to a vendor who is not on the group list. It clears, because the approval chain checks the amount and not the counterparty. You find it at audit, if at all.

Committed Spend Is Invisible Until It Posts

Open purchase orders are money already spent that has not hit the P&L. Without that number, a department looks on budget right up to the week the bills land.

Reports Take a Week and Answer the Wrong Question

Finance can produce a spend report per property. Slicing it by department, vendor, and period across the group is a project, so the question gets asked once a quarter instead of once a week.

How It Works

One Spend Picture Across the Portfolio

Conduit reads your accounting system directly and reconciles it against the operational work that generated the spend.

Actual, Committed, and Payable

Posted vendor bills net of credits, the remaining unbilled amount on open purchase orders, and outstanding balances by ageing bucket. Three numbers most groups can only produce one of.

Cut by Property, Department, Vendor, Account

Your properties map to locations, your task categories map to departments, in whatever way your chart of accounts actually uses them. Nothing assumes property equals location.

Cross-Property Price Comparison

Same item, different properties, different unit price. The comparison runs on its own and surfaces the gaps big enough to be worth renegotiating.

Off-List Suppliers Flagged

A purchase order to a vendor outside the approved list gets surfaced when it is raised, not at year-end. Unusual PO volume against any single supplier gets flagged the same way.

Spend Tied to the Work

Purchase orders and bills link back to the ops task that caused them. A spike in a category has an operational explanation attached rather than being an unexplained line.

Ask in Plain Language

"What did we spend on laundry across all four properties last quarter, by vendor?" is a question you ask, not a report you queue. The answer shows its working.

Integration

Reads Finance, Never Guesses at It

Spend numbers are only useful if they reconcile. Conduit reads the source system rather than maintaining a parallel one.

Purchase Orders and Vendor Bills

Open purchase orders and vendor bills read from your accounting system, with live lookups for a single record when you need current status rather than synced state.

Your Dimensions, Mapped Explicitly

Property to location or custom segment, department to department or class, category to vendor. Set up once by an administrator, never inferred, and anything unmapped is reported rather than dropped.

Freshness Stated Up Front

Every report says when it last synced and whether the result is partial. A stale number that admits it is stale is safe; one that does not is how bad decisions get made.

Implementation

Reconcile Before You Automate

Spend reporting is only worth having if finance signs off on the definitions, so that comes first.

  1. 1

    Map Your Dimensions

    An administrator maps properties, departments, and vendors to how your chart of accounts actually uses locations, classes, and segments. This is the step that makes the numbers trustworthy.

  2. 2

    Reconcile Against Your Own Reports

    Actual spend, committed spend, and payables are checked against the saved reports finance already runs, until the definitions match. Nothing goes live on a guess.

  3. 3

    Turn On Reporting and Alerts

    Read-only first. Cross-property comparisons, off-list supplier flags, and ageing alerts run while every write stays off.

  4. 4

    Add Approved Writes

    Once reads reconcile, drafting purchase orders and vendor bills can be enabled behind explicit approval, with read-after-write verification on every one.

No. Your accounting system stays the ledger. Conduit reads it, reconciles it against operations, and answers questions across properties that the ledger alone cannot. Writes, where enabled, go back into the same system.
