Raju Sankuratri, CIO, Aramark + Avendra International
In the ever-evolving hospitality industry, procurement is no longer just about purchasing—it’s about creating value, driving efficiency, and enabling sustainability. At Avendra International, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this transformation, led by our Chief Information Officer, Raju Sankuratri.
As recently featured in Hotel Management magazine, Raju is championing a bold vision: to harness the power of technology to empower people and elevate procurement from a back-office function to a strategic advantage.
Turning Data into Decisions
One of the most powerful tools in modern procurement is visibility. With platforms like Mosaic AI and MaetaData, Avendra clients gain real-time insights into their purchasing behaviors, supplier performance, and sourcing trends. This data-driven approach allows hoteliers to make smarter, faster decisions that align with their operational goals and brand values.
“We’ve adopted AI to improve transparency in our supply chains,” Raju explains. “This allows our clients to make decisions that are not only efficient but also aligned with their sustainability and service standards.”
Flexible Technology for a Diverse Industry
From boutique hotels to global chains, every hospitality business has unique needs. That’s why our procurement solutions—like iBuyEfficient—are designed to be flexible, scalable, and easy to integrate. Whether you're managing a single property or a portfolio, our tools adapt to your workflows and help you stay in control.
Empowering Teams, Enhancing Value
At the heart of our technology is a commitment to people. By automating routine tasks and surfacing actionable insights, we free up procurement teams to focus on what matters most: strategy, service, and innovation.
At Avendra International, we believe the future of procurement is intelligent, intuitive, and inclusive. With leaders like Raju Sankuratri guiding the way, we’re not just keeping up with change—we’re driving it.
