About Virtual Warehouse
About Virtual Warehouse
Virtual Warehouse is an initiative of the Hotel Possible Group. We identified a need to streamline the purchasing and stock control in the various restaurant and accommodation establishments we manage.
By creating a central database of suppliers and their products we believe we can make the purchasing process simpler, more efficient and more accurate. This should eliminate unnecessary phone calls, misunderstanding and miscommunication between suppliers and buyers, saving both the supplier and buyer time and effort.
Virtual Warehouse is a cloud based application that links buyers and suppliers electronically. Only one order needs to be prepared by the buyer for all his purchases from all suppliers and Virtual Warehouse automatically sends these orders to the respective suppliers. The supplier is notified of any new order and can immediately advise if the order can be processed.
Virtual Warehouse is free to buyers and suppliers. A fee is only charged on any transactions processed.
