Hotel AP automation that does more than capture invoices.
Atrium reads your hotel's supplier invoices, structures every line item, remembers what you paid before, checks supplier agreements, and surfaces what needs attention before payment. Keep your accounting system. Keep your suppliers.
Atrium is the review layer in front of payment, not a replacement for accounts payable. Nothing to install, no accounting migration.

Activity timeline
Hotel AP breaks down when invoices live everywhere.
Hotel invoices arrive from foodservice, linen, cleaning, amenities, maintenance, coffee, and local suppliers. Some arrive as PDFs. Some are scans. Some are forwarded emails. Some are buried in a manager's inbox. By the time invoices reach accounting, teams are often chasing approvals, checking duplicates manually, and trying to understand what is due, what is overdue, and what changed.
- Supplier invoices are scattered across inboxes and attachments.
- Finance teams spend hours entering invoice details manually.
- Duplicate invoices are hard to catch before payment.
- GMs and controllers lack line-item visibility.
- Approvals happen in email threads and side conversations.
- Overdue invoices are discovered too late.
- Accounting sees totals, but not the operational story behind them.
What is hotel AP automation?
Hotel AP automation helps finance and operations teams capture supplier invoices, structure invoice data, track review status, flag duplicate risk, and keep a clear record of what needs approval, dispute, or payment. Hospitality invoicing has its own shape — weekly foodservice deliveries, linen service on contract, amenities by the case — so Atrium focuses on the step before accounting gets messy: turning hotel invoices into clean, reviewable, searchable AP data.
Invoice intake
Capture invoices from email, PDFs, scans, images, attachments, and plain-text invoice messages.
AP visibility
See invoice status, due dates, overdue invoices, outstanding totals, and payment progress.
Review workflow
Approve, dispute, mark as paid, add notes, and keep an activity timeline for every invoice.
See where your AP workflow may be leaking time or money.
Forward 10 recent supplier invoices. Atrium will structure the invoice data and show duplicate invoice risk, missing fields, due dates, supplier spend, price changes, and invoices worth reviewing.
No accounting migration required. Start with the invoices you already receive.
- Which invoices may be duplicated
- Which invoices are missing important fields
- Which suppliers have the highest outstanding balances
- Which invoices are due soon or overdue
- Which recurring items changed in price
- Which departments are creating the most invoice volume
- Which invoices need review before payment
From forwarded invoice to clean AP visibility.
Atrium starts with the invoice workflow your team already has.
Forward invoices
Forward supplier invoices manually, or set up an inbox rule once. Atrium captures PDFs, scans, images, attachments, and plain-text invoice emails automatically.
Extract the AP details
Atrium extracts supplier, invoice number, invoice date, due date, line items, subtotal, taxes, fees, discounts, total, and payment terms.
Flag what needs review
Duplicate invoice risk, missing fields, unusual totals, supplier discrepancies, and low-confidence data are surfaced before the invoice moves forward.
Track status through review
Teams can approve, dispute, add notes, mark invoices as paid, and keep an activity timeline around every invoice.
Most AP automation stops at capture. This is the rest of it.
Capturing an invoice tells you what a supplier says you owe. The work that protects margin happens after that — comparing the line against its own history and against what you agreed to pay.
Invoice arrives
Forwarded by email, uploaded as a PDF, or photographed. No supplier portal and no format requirement.
Data captured
Supplier recognized, header fields read, every line item extracted into structured purchasing data.
Price history checked
Each recurring line compared against what the same item cost the last time it arrived.
Agreement checked
Where a supplier agreement is uploaded and active, lines are compared against the agreed rates.
Exceptions surfaced
Only the lines that need a human look reach the review queue. The rest pass quietly.
Report ready
Structured data your team can review on screen or pull as an Excel workbook.

AP data that helps hotels make better purchasing decisions.
Atrium does more than organize invoices. Once invoices are structured, your team can see the supplier, department, budget, and price signals hiding inside AP data.
Outstanding invoice visibility
Know how much is currently outstanding, what is due this week, and which invoices are overdue.
Supplier spend visibility
See which suppliers are driving the most AP volume and spend.
Department-level spend
Understand which departments are creating invoice volume and budget pressure.
Price drift inside AP
Catch recurring item price increases from invoices before they quietly affect margins.
Invoice exceptions
Flag missing fields, unusual totals, duplicate risk, substitutions, and invoices that need human review.
Portfolio AP visibility
For hotel groups, compare invoice activity, outstanding balances, supplier spend, and budget pressure across properties.
A cleaner review path for every invoice.
Atrium helps hotel teams move invoices from received to reviewed, approved, disputed, ready to pay, or paid — with the context finance teams need.
Every action can be tracked with notes, actor history, labels, and an activity timeline, so teams know what happened and why.

Atrium captures invoices from national vendors, regional distributors, and local suppliers. Your team can keep existing supplier relationships and accounting workflows while improving AP visibility.
No supplier switch required. No accounting migration required.
