Hotel owners lose money every day on purchasing inefficiencies. AI can change that.
On No Vacancy Live, I spoke with Charles Oswald, CEO of Aperture Hotels, and Ryan Zaucha, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Reeco, about how technology transforms purchasing into profit.
Here’s what we uncovered:
👉 Tariffs and supply chain shifts push costs higher—but AI can build the optimal purchasing basket in real time
👉 Reeco’s platform breaks down silos between GPOs, broadliners, and direct agreements to deliver live data, not outdated quarterly reports
👉 Pre-coded invoices and allocations save GMs 8–10 hours a week, freeing them to focus on guests instead of paperwork
👉 Even small items matter—one hotel saved $5,000 a year on cranberry juice just by following optimal purchase guidance
Charles and Ryan showed how hoteliers can hit the “easy button” for purchasing while gaining visibility, compliance, and serious savings.
