What Procurement does

Control Purchasing From Request to Supplier Payment helps teams run operations workflows with clarity and control. Manage suppliers, purchase requests, orders, goods received, and supplier bills in one workflow — with approvals at every step and stock updated automatically.

Instead of using disconnected spreadsheets, emails, and approvals, your team works from one structured process. Core capabilities include purchase requests with approval thresholds, purchase orders, goods receipts, and supplier bills, supplier quote comparison before you buy, so operations stay consistent as the business grows.

This means leaders get better visibility, teams spend less time on manual coordination, and finance decisions are made using reliable data rather than assumptions.

What's inside

A closer look at everything Procurement includes today.

Suppliers and quotes

New

Keep vendor records, payment terms, and payout details together, and compare competing supplier quotes before raising a purchase order.

  • Quotes in different currencies are compared in your base currency

Approvals

New

Require a higher approval level once a request or purchase order reaches an amount you set.

  • Delegate your approvals to a colleague for a set date range
  • Owners can record direct purchases when there's no time for the full process

Receiving and returns

New

Record what actually arrived against each purchase order, and return damaged or short-shipped goods.

  • Received quantities go straight into inventory and the POS
  • Freight, duty, and other landed costs allocated across items
  • Track supplier credit from returns

Recurring purchase orders

New

Schedule orders you place regularly so they are released automatically, with an optional spend ceiling.

Reports

New

Spend, open purchase orders, accounts payable aging, and receipt discrepancies.

Step 1: Purchase requests with approval thresholds

Staff raise purchase requests for what they need. Requests above your thresholds go to a higher approver, and a warning shows if a request exceeds what's left in the budget.

Step 2: Purchase orders, goods receipts, and supplier bills workflow preview

Step 2: Purchase orders, goods receipts, and supplier bills

Approved requests become purchase orders sent to suppliers. When goods arrive, record the receipt and the stock is added to inventory and the POS in the right branch.
