Growing Local Retailer

Challenge:
A small but fast-growing multi-site retailer was managing invoices manually across 9 stores. Each site had its own system for handling deliveries and paperwork, creating delays in consolidation. The Operations Director struggled to spot overspending or late payments until the end of the month, leaving little time to react.

Solution with OmniPATH:
OmniPATH automated invoice entry, consolidated site-by-site spend data and flagged inconsistencies across locations. It provided live dashboards on total supplier debt, spend frequency and highlighted time from first receipt to approval enabling process to be imroved and measured.

Results:

• Saved 5 days per month in manual data entry
• Identified £6,000 annual savings by standardising purchasing across sites
• Prevented late payments that risked supply to top-performing shops
• Gave Ops Director real-time insights to renegotiate supplier terms and streamline purchasing
