The OmniPATH ROI. What your procurement team gains.
Every invoice touched by hand costs you. Every missed price rise compounds. OmniPATH turns the silent drains - manual entry, duplicate payments, late credit notes, approval bottlenecks - into measurable, compounding return across every procurement touchpoint.
£150k-300k monthly spend · 3-8 sites
Your team spends its time on data entry. Not on negotiation.
Mid-market hospitality and multi-site businesses process thousands of invoices a month across dozens of suppliers. Without automation, procurement does data entry instead of supplier negotiation, compliance instead of strategy, and firefighting instead of forecasting - and every duplicate payment, late credit note and approval bottleneck quietly drains the bottom line.
Saved per document. Captured across every channel.
The return shows up in two places first: the cost of processing each document, and the share of spend you can actually see and control.
Manual processing runs £12-18; OmniPATH brings it to £1.50-3.00
Invoice-to-approval drops from 4-7 days to the same day
Down from a typical 2-5% duplicate and overpayment rate
Every invoice, receipt, credit note and statement captured
£ saved per document processed
| Manual process | With OmniPATH | Your saving |
|---|---|---|
| £12-18 per invoice - data entry, matching, approval routing, filing | £1.50-3.00 per invoice - AI extraction, auto-matching, digital approval | £10-15 per invoice |
| 4-7 days invoice-to-approval | Same day - auto-route, mobile approve | 3-6 days faster |
| 2-5% duplicate / overpayment rate | <0.1% - AI detection + idempotent sync | £2,000-10,000 / year recovered |
Spend under management
OmniPATH captures 100% of purchase spend - every invoice, receipt, credit note and statement flows through one system. No spreadsheet reconciliation, no end-of-month surprises.
| Metric | Typical before | With OmniPATH |
|---|---|---|
| Spend visibility | 60-70% - manual tracking misses ad-hoc spend | 100% - every document captured |
| Price-variance detection | End of quarter, if at all | Real-time - flagged on each invoice |
| Supplier concentration risk | Unknown until a supplier fails | Continuous monitoring with alerts |
| Credit-note recovery | 40-60% - many expire unclaimed | 85%+ - automatic chase workflow |
Six places the return actually shows up.
Each dimension carries its own measurable saving - and each one reinforces the others.
Document processing automation
AI extracts, validates, matches and routes invoices automatically. Only genuine exceptions - anomalies, new suppliers, amount mismatches - surface for review, so your team handles five times the volume without growing headcount.
- AI extraction of supplier, amounts, dates, line items and VAT in seconds
- Three-way matching: PO ↔ delivery note ↔ invoice
- Confidence-based routing - high confidence auto-approves, low goes to review
- Email ingestion - suppliers forward invoices directly, no upload step
Price intelligence & spend leakage
OmniPATH watches every line-item price against its 90-day history. A 10% spike on chicken breast across 200 invoices a month is flagged on invoice number one, not discovered at quarter-end.
- Price-spike alerts on every invoice processed
- Supplier concentration warnings before you become dependent
- Order-consolidation opportunities - too many small orders mean surcharges
- Minimum-order-value tracking and early-payment detection
Fraud & compliance protection
AI agents run nightly, analysing patterns a manual review would never catch - the small, deliberate behaviours that slip past spot checks.
- Split-transaction detection - amounts sitting just below approval thresholds
- Reciprocal approval patterns - two people signing off each other's purchases
- Out-of-hours bulk approvals and duplicate payments across bank statements
- New-payee alerts on first-time payments above £200, via fraud detection
Supplier performance & accountability
When suppliers know you're measuring, performance improves. OmniPATH tracks delivery reliability, credit quality, invoice accuracy and credit recovery - per supplier, per site, continuously.
- Composite performance score per supplier (0-100, updated nightly)
- Delivery-variance tracking via goods receipt notes
- Credit-note ratio monitoring - a high ratio signals a quality problem
- Invoice-to-PO match rate and supplier scheduling with on-time classification
Cash flow & payment timing
Know exactly what's due, when and to whom. Approve on time rather than early, pay on terms rather than before, and never miss an early-payment discount you've negotiated.
- Real-time aged-creditor view across all suppliers
- Payment-term utilisation alerts - paying early is free lending to suppliers
- Due-date forecasting with cash-flow impact and batch payment with bank-file export
- Statement reconciliation with automatic matching
Multi-site control & visibility
Multi-site businesses often have the same suppliers at different prices, different approval standards and no central visibility. OmniPATH unifies this instantly.
- Spend-by-site breakdown with cross-site comparison and multi-site control
- Supplier-overlap detection - same supplier, different prices at different sites
- Centralised approval routes with site-level delegation
- Location-based delivery scheduling and cost-centre attribution on every transaction
Processing on day one. Compounding by month three.
No migration, no parallel running - the value starts the moment your first invoice arrives and builds as the AI learns your suppliers.
