Alphameric Hospitality Wins Multi-million
Order
There is no doubt that in today’s
tough economic climate staying ahead
of the competition means optimising
company performance to yield even
greater results. Spirit has elected
to install Caterwide, Alphameric Hospitality’s
web back office, as the Group recognises
that innovative technology and applications
will assist in driving operational
efficiencies and bottom line improvements.
Caterwide is based on open standards
and uses the Microsoft.net framework
and was chosen by Spirit because it
is a state-of-the-art, deployed, integrated
suite of business applications giving
Spirit a low risk solution from a
Company that has a track record of
delivering in this vertical sector.
The Spirit
Group will be utilising all modules
of the Caterwide back office suite
- wet and dry stock control, ordering,
cash control, payroll and labour management
and MIS reporting. As part of the
project Alphameric Hospitality will
be developing interfaces to Spirit’s
central systems and linking Caterwide
to existing and future POS systems
enabling the business to focus on
harnessing the competitive advantages
that web systems will deliver. Spirit
will be able to leverage cost benefits
by safeguarding the existing infrastructure
so that next generation systems can
be deployed at the lowest possible
costs, with the minimum of disruption
to the outlets, whilst ensuring a
common platform for the estate irrespective
of till type.
Historically,
The Spirit Group has used Alphameric
Hospitality’s payroll and labour
management system (PALM) to control
and minimise labour costs throughout
their existing 1075 outlets. Seen
as a key management tool by Spirit,
PALM will now be rolled out to their
entire estate, an extra 1450 installations,
with central feeds to payroll systems.
