The problem

Does this sound familiar?

Most African hospitality businesses still run procurement on paper, WhatsApp, and hope.

Paper requisition books

WhatsApp purchase requests

Lost approval forms

Delayed purchasing

Duplicate purchases

Uncontrolled spending

Missing supplier records

Stock shortages

Emergency buying

Lack of accountability

Vistorio replaces all of this with one digital workflow.
