Challenge:

A small building firm with 10 staff handled dozens of supplier invoices monthly, from timber merchants to equipment hire companies. Paperwork often went missing on site, costs were difficult to track against projects and late supplier payments risked delaying jobs. Admin time kept the Owner away from quoting new work.

Solution with OmniPATH:

OmniPATH digitised all incoming invoices, enabled posting to projects and provided real-time spend analysis per project. It flagged duplicate invoices and price increases while automating approvals, ensuring payments were never missed.

Results:

  • Reduced invoice processing time from hours to minutes
  • £3,200 saved in year one by catching duplicate/overcharged invoices
  • Real-time visibility of costs per project improved quoting accuracy, winning more work
  • Owner gained back 10+ hours a month to focus on customers and growth

There's a silent profit drain happening in organisations every day. It's not fraud. It's not incompetence. It's something far more insidious: line-item blindness.
Expecting every supplier - large or small - to operate with structured invoice data is unrealistic. Instead, businesses need flexible systems that can evolve with them, bridging today’s data diversity while preparing for tomorrow’s mandates.
In 2025, misalignment between Operations and Finance causes delays, errors and lost opportunities. OmniPATH unites both through the delivery of real-time data, automated controls and actionable insights - enabling smarter decisions, tighter control and proactive growth.
