www.multipleoperatorportals.co.uk The Multiple Operator Portal is leading the industry through innovative functionality that offers significant improvements to online purchasing for hospitality operator groups. The latest version of the Multiple Operator Portal offers even greater control, visibility and cost-efficiencies for head offices and more intuitive purchasing for their outlets. The Multiple Operator Portal is an Internet-based IT solution that caters for the specific online purchasing requirements of the hospitality sector. Through a company-branded website, it simply connects head office buyers to their outlets and suppliers, all on one ordering system. It manages the complexities of food and beverage ordering across supplier networks, whether organisations have five or 5,000+ outlets. The IT solution gives head offices increased visibility of what their outlets are buying online and ensures compliance with supplier contracts. The new and enhanced functionality includes: - New Catalogue Management functionality that gives immediate visibility of changes to the catalogue.It allows head offices to approve/reject products and prices submitted electronically by suppliers, and upload them to their own Multiple Operator Portal for outlets to view and order from. - Enhanced Ordering functionality offers easy to use, intuitive order guides and templates that allow simple, controlled order placement. Head offices can now set minimum and maximum purchasing thresholds at product code and outlet level, either by supplier catalogue, order pad or EPOS feed. - Enhanced Invoicing and Goods Received Notes functionality offering complete online ’purchase-to-pay’ technology that includes invoicing, goods received notes and stock monitoring. - Enhanced Account Administration functionality that enables head office to manage the secure role-based logins, allowing them to assign and change authorised access levels and permissions quickly. - Enhanced branding, content and messaging that allows head offices to communicate important company, supplier and product information to outlets through a much slicker and user-friendly interface, vastly improving the experience for both outlets and head offices.
