Announcing the agreement, Henry Seddon, managing director of Access Hospitality commented: “We know that 80% of hospitality operators use a procurement system but this number drops significantly, to below 5%, in the education sector.
“The technology is available to make the user experience as straightforward as possible, so we are thrilled to continue our partnership with TUCO in the delivery of TUCO Online, enabling more universities to have access to the tools that allow them to focus on what they do best.’’
TUCO Online is powered by Access Procure Wizard and is available to all TUCO members. It has been developed to help university purchasing teams save time and money by streamlining their procurement processes, reducing costs, improving controls and automating invoicing.
It also provides a full kitchen management system, including advanced stock control, waste, allergen and nutritional management
Mike Haslin, CEO of TUCO added: “After a thorough process, we are delighted to renew and extend our contract with Access Hospitality. This means our members can continue to enjoy the many financial and cost-saving benefits of TUCO Online in partnership with Access Procure Wizard. We are proud the benefits of our system extend beyond efficiency and deliver complete purchasing visibility and compliance across whole organisations with one simple login.”
