While at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, I was the hotel "champion" and installation lead for Birchstreet. We went from a paper based Requisition and Purchase Order system to a completely automated Birchstreet managed system. The differences were amazing, Birchstreet offers the ability to build clean workflows and approvals. We also gained clear visibility into all past orders and account balances. In hospitality, it can be sometimes difficult to obtain time sensitive approvals for food & beverage orders, and an administrator is needed to re-route orders, which is a necessary audit requirement, but sometimes hard to manage. We had a very good set of trainers for the initial set-up.

As staff all invoices and blanket PO's are sent through e-pro. The site is behind the time and only works on internet explorer. Once the PO has been approved once I am unable to edit the requisition. This makes for a headache on both my side as the sender and on the Accounts Payable side.

I used this program for about 2 years in my previous role. It is probably one of the best systems out there. Simple, and very effective. Reporting can be pre set so there is not need to enter filters again. Gives reports instantly. Support is good. The only bad point I can think of is the lack of training as there so much more options in it that I didn't get a chance to try out
