HENLEY-ON-THAMES, U.K. - eTradeWire -- OmniPATH, a platform that helps multi-site hospitality businesses automate invoice processing, control purchasing and understand supplier costs, has been named "Leading AI Procurement & AP Automation Platform 2026" in the SME News UK Finance Awards.

Working alongside existing accounting systems, OmniPATH brings purchasing, supplier and invoice data together to help Finance and Operations understand what has changed, what needs attention and where to act during the month.

The platform combines accounts payable automation with purchasing workflows and approvals. It highlights supplier price changes, potential overcharges, duplicate invoices, missing credits and unusual spending patterns, helping teams identify issues that would otherwise require manual checking and investigation.

Its AI agent, LEDGE, lets authorised users ask questions in plain English and get immediate answers from the underlying purchasing, supplier and invoice data. Teams can explore which prices have increased, how costs differ between sites and where further investigation is needed, without first assembling another report.

Simon Haynes, founder of OmniPATH, said: "We see the future of business software as something you can talk to, that understands your business and helps you get things done. Imagine asking why food costs have increased, which suppliers are changing their prices, or whether a purchase makes sense - and getting an answer grounded in your own data, with the next step ready to take. That's the shift we're building towards. AI should do more than report on the past; it should help businesses think, act and respond in real time. We're delighted to receive this award and recognition."

OmniPATH supports visibility and controls across food and drink, housekeeping, maintenance, equipment and services. It is designed for businesses ranging from independent operators to established multi-site groups, with controlled access allowing operational teams to find useful information while Finance retains oversight.
