CrunchTime is enterprise software built for America's largest QSR chains, spanning inventory, labour, ops, and training across separate modules. Supy is a modern inventory and procurement platform for global multi-branch restaurant groups - one platform that goes deeper on procurement automation, real-time cost visibility, and centralised control, and flexes to how your restaurants actually operate.
Supy uses AI to scan any invoice format at 96%+ accuracy, then auto-matches line items to POs and flags discrepancies - no manual review. CrunchTime uses OCR to digitise invoices, but matching and verification are still manual unless the supplier is on their EDI network.
Yes. Supy's implementation team handles the full migration - recipes, suppliers, inventory items, and cost history - as part of onboarding. It typically takes days, not weeks, and is included at no extra charge.
Supy offers multi-stage approvals up to 5 levels, configurable by role, outlet, or order value, with per-branch spend limits and 200+ granular permissions. CrunchTime's approvals operate at the module level - active for all items or none, with no item-level controls.
Supy goes live in 2 to 4 weeks with hands-on setup, data migration, and training included. After go-live, you get 24/7 support and unlimited training at no extra cost. CrunchTime implementations typically run 3 to 6 months, with a separate fee and an in-app learning centre for self-serve courses.
Speed to value, operational flexibility, and total cost of ownership. Groups want a platform they can deploy in weeks, not months. Ops teams want a system that flexes to their setup without submitting tickets. And finance leaders comparing all-in costs often find Supy's transparent pricing delivers better value for their scale.
