Procurement intelligence for hotels · Cyprus

See the waste. Predict demand.

SalAI reads your hotel's purchasing data and shows where money leaks — price creep, over-ordering, spoilage — and what each month ahead will need. Built in Cyprus for independent hotels and resorts.

The Cyprus hotel year — demand by month
Winter — supplier contracts renew. Price drift starts here, unnoticed. July–August peak — a stockout costs the most. The tail — over-ordering becomes spoilage in storage.

Where the money goes

Hotel purchasing leaks quietly.

F&B, housekeeping, and maintenance each order on their own, from dozens of suppliers, every week. Nobody sees the whole picture — so the losses never look like losses.

Prices creep, order by order

Across food, beverage, and amenities, nobody has time to check whether unit prices have drifted, whether duplicate orders slipped through, or whether a supplier quietly raised rates.

Typical drift goes unnoticed for 6–12 months.

Stock never matches the season

Hotels over-order for quiet weeks and run short in peak season. By the time a stock count is finished, occupancy has already shifted — and perishables are spoiling in the meantime.

Spoilage is paid for twice: once bought, once written off.

Spend is scattered across departments

Each department buys independently, so duplicate suppliers, overlapping orders, and missed volume discounts stay invisible. The total cost never appears on any one report.

Fragmented buying hides duplicate spend.
The platform

One system that reads your purchasing — and answers back.

Share your purchase data. Get answers in days, not quarters. No consultants, no six-month implementation.

Seasonal demand forecasting

Trained on your purchase history, SalAI forecasts what each category will need month by month, with a confidence range — so you buy for the demand that's coming instead of reacting to it.

Drift starts — flagged Unit price, same item

Catch drift before it compounds

SalAI flags pricing drift, duplicate orders, and supplier inconsistencies automatically. Walk into every supplier negotiation with the numbers.

F&B Housekeeping Maintenance Other

Every supplier, one view

All purchasing in one place: spend by supplier, by category, and over time. The full picture your department reports never show.

How it works

Running in days, not quarters.

SalAI starts from data your hotel already has. Nothing to install, nothing to replace.

Day 1

Export your data

Pull a CSV from your accounting system, supplier invoices, or stock sheets. That is all SalAI needs to begin.

Week 1

We validate it

SalAI ingests the data and runs quality checks, flagging gaps and inconsistencies before any analysis runs.

Week 2

You get answers

Forecasts, anomalies, and a full spend overview in one place — with every figure traceable to the purchase rows behind it.

No IT project. Your existing systems stay exactly where they are. Direct connectors to hotel ERP and PMS systems are on the roadmap.

Founding hotel programme

Free for the first three hotels.

We are onboarding three Cyprus hotels as founding pilot partners. Provide an export of your purchasing data, and we run the full platform on it — at no cost — while we tune the engine to hotel operations.

What you get

  • The full SalAI dashboard, built on your own purchasing data
  • Seasonal forecasts, price-drift flags, and a complete spend overview
  • A direct line to the founders — the product shaped around your hotel

What we ask

  • An export of your purchase data — a CSV from accounting or supplier invoices is enough
  • Honest feedback on what is useful and what is missing
  • If it delivers, a reference we can show the next hotel

The engine is already proven. We validated the forecasting model against two full years of real Cyprus sales data and compared the forecast to actual results. The pilot is about proving it on hotel operations — yours.

Who we are

Two engineers from the University of Cyprus.

Neither of us planned to end up in procurement. But talking to the people who run Cypriot businesses, we kept hearing the same sentence: “We don't really know where our money is going.”

Hotels feel it most — purchasing runs through F&B, housekeeping, and maintenance at once, and the tools that could untangle it are enterprise-priced and built for companies ten times the size. So we built SalAI: affordable, fast to deploy, and made in Cyprus, for Cyprus first.

We are based in Nicosia and we build in the open — if you want to know exactly how the platform handles your data, ask us and we will show you.

First step

Start with a 30-minute call.

We meet, you tell us how your hotel buys today, and we explain how the pilot works: what data to export, how it is protected, and what the dashboard will show you. No live analysis on the call, no commitment.

01 Meet the founders and see how the platform works
02 Agree the data export — a CSV from your accounting system is enough
03 Your data goes into the dashboard; we review the findings together within two weeks
Your data stays yours

Purchasing data is commercially sensitive, and we treat it that way. It is never shared with anyone, never used to benchmark other hotels, and stored on EU servers under GDPR. One email and it is deleted.
