Case Study: Cairn Group saves 5,000 working hours and £185,046 with The Access Group's Access Procure Wizard

How Cairn Group saved 5000 hours and £185k in credits through Access Procure Wizard

Cairn Group, a family-run operator of 33 premium hotels and 28 bars and restaurants across the UK, needed to cut back-office admin, improve financial performance and gain site-level spend visibility so staff could focus on delivering great guest experiences. To do this they partnered with Access Group and implemented Access Procure Wizard to automate procurement and invoice processing across their diverse estate.

Access Group’s Access Procure Wizard automated invoice capture and procurement workflows for about 150,000 invoices a year, saving roughly 5,000 working hours (625 days), recovering £185,046 in credits over 12 months, and eliminating 150,000 paper invoices (≈19 trees). The solution also improved real-time spend visibility, supplier negotiations, contract management and consistency of food/allergen information—freeing teams to spend more time with guests and delivering measurable cost, time and quality benefits.
