Powerful purchase-to-pay software for hospitality

Zonal’s fully integrated end-to-end inventory management solution, Acquire, provides unparalleled real-time visibility over every aspect of your stock management, helping hospitality operators better manage costs and operate more efficiently.

Gain greater visibility of your supply chain

With mitigating the impact of rising costs a priority across the hospitality industry, visibility and insight over your inventory will be key. Acquire can help you do just that, and so much more.

Accurate data

One version of the truth

Full integration with our EPoS ensures all data utilised by your systems operates from one single source of truth, eliminating discrepancies and inaccurate reports.

Greater control over your purchasing

Enact tighter control over your purchasing, eliminating the risk of over-ordering or having too much cash tied up in stock. What’s more, with pre-approved suppliers staff will always order the right items, from the right place, at the right price.

Data-led decision making

With comprehensive reporting capabilities, Acquire also helps you make more informed decisions. For example, if a certain product is selling well, you could negotiate better rates from suppliers, or remove or make changes to products that aren’t.

Streamline processes and reduce admin overhead

Inventory management can be a laborious process, so let Acquire do a lot of the heavy lifting. Extensive automations and streamlined processes remove lots of the tedium from your day-to-day, enabling you to spend less time behind a desk.
