In hospitality, profit margins are tight. You might already focus on reducing food waste, optimising staff, or improving menu pricing — yet one of the biggest profit leaks often hides in plain sight: supplier invoices.
When invoices are processed manually or scanned automatically without validation, small discrepancies — incorrect quantities, price changes, or missing items — can slip through. Over time, these small errors add up and quietly erode your bottom line.
That’s why accurate invoice validation and reconciliation are critical for controlling costs and protecting margins.
The Cost of Inaccurate Invoices
Invoices can be a silent source of loss. A missing credit here, a substituted product there — and before you know it, your COGS and profit reports no longer reflect reality.
Without a proper invoice reconciliation process, supplier errors go unnoticed, and inconsistencies flow into accounting and stock systems. This leads to inaccurate data, wasted admin time, and unnecessary spend.
A robust system that validates and reconciles invoices ensures every item you pay for is verified — so you only pay for what you’ve actually received.
Digitising Isn’t Enough — You Need Validation & Reconciliation
Many systems promise invoice automation, but most stop at digitisation — simply extracting data from scanned invoices or PDFs using OCR. That may speed things up, but it doesn’t guarantee accuracy. If the extracted data is wrong, those errors just move faster through your accounting.
Here’s the difference:
- Digitisation captures data from invoices using OCR or uploads
- Validation checks that data line by line — confirming each price, quantity, and product is correct
- Reconciliation ensures the entire invoice matches its related purchase order and delivery, so you only pay for what was actually received
growyze brings all three together. It not only automates data capture but also validates and reconciles every invoice — giving you accuracy and confidence before anything reaches your accounting software. The result is a process that’s faster, more transparent, and financially reliable.
