17th November 2020: Gordon Ramsay Group, a long-standing client of P2D, upgraded from Sage 50 to the Sage Business Cloud X3 ERP system in 2020 as a reflection of the scale and complexity of the organization. In support of this project, P2D has similarly upgraded the integration of it’s platform into X3. This includes an automated daily feed of approved invoices, a full remapping of the Chart of Accounts, and document retrieval from within X3. At this juncture due to the roll-out of the Street Burger and Street Pizza concepts as departmental structures, automated workflow routing based on delivery address was also selected as an upgrade within the P2D system to drive further efficiencies, as well as P2D-Procure Wizard integration (see previous news post).

1st August 2020: Procure Wizard, part of The Access Group, is a leading provider of Purchase to Pay software, as well as Food and Beverage, for the hospitality industry. Their Food and Beverage module encompasses everything from Menu Engineering to Stock Control and Allergen Management and their Laundry Control module is the UK’s first integrated solution.

With a growing number of P2D clients starting to adopt Procure Wizard, we have developed an integration that provides a single view of all invoices within the P2D portal including those processed within Procure Wizard. This means the full search & retrieval and document management features on all invoices can be performed within P2D, together with a single integration with the ERP and a single standard workflow for dealing with rejected items. The integration demonstrably removes the time and costs associated with running two parallel interfaces and processes with the ERP. Please contact us for more information.

Several hundred hospitality operators of various sizes rely on P2D’s invoicing processing platform, many of whom have been using the system for more than 10 years. We look forward to long standing relationship with the new client, expanding the service scope as the pub estate grows.
