Most property teams still run on invoices alone. ProcureDesk automates AP as it stands: routing, audit trail, coding to the right property and owner entity. Add purchase orders whenever you are ready, on the same system.
Most property operators buy first and find out what it cost when the invoice arrives. That works at 200 units. Past roughly 1,000 units, or once every property is its own LLC, four things start costing real money.
A $700 repair estimate turns into a $3,200 invoice. Nothing flagged the difference, because there was no commitment on the books to check it against.
Out of a few hundred invoices a week, dozens sit with an approver who has not logged in. No queue view, no nudge, no way to know why it is late until the vendor calls.
One landscaping invoice, twelve properties, split in a spreadsheet. Capex and repairs on the same bill. A line posts to the wrong LLC and the owner statement goes out wrong.
When an owner asks why maintenance jumped 22% at one building, the answer is reconstructed from texts, emails and a shared drive.
Run invoices through routing, coding and matching today. When you want control before the spend, switch on requests and approvals for any property or category. Same system, no re-implementation.
Vendor invoices arrive by email or PDF, are read and coded to the property, entity and GL, then routed by property and amount. Approvers get the invoice and a one-click approve in their inbox. No login, no chasing.
Turn on requests for a category, say capital projects or unit turns. Site staff request from their phone or a punchout catalog, the budget is checked, the PO goes out with a defined scope, and the invoice matches against it.
Committed and actual spend per property and entity, live. Approved, matched invoices post by entity to Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, NetSuite or Business Central, so owner statements come out clean.
From the tech in the mechanical room to the controller closing 50 entities.
A budget per building and per GL. Requesters see what is left before they submit, so overspend is caught up front, not at month-end.
Run approvals on invoices as they arrive today, or shift them earlier to purchase orders category by category. Same routing, same audit trail.
Maintenance staff raise and track requests from their phone: photo of the broken unit, pick the vendor, done. Under a minute, or techs go back to calling vendors.
Split one invoice across properties and GL accounts at the line. Capex vs repairs flagged. Recoverable costs marked for bill-back. Posts to the right owner LLC.
Match to the PO and receipt, flag only exceptions and duplicates. AP reviews the few that need eyes, not all of them.
Home Depot Pro, Lowe's, Grainger, Ferguson, Sherwin-Williams and Amazon Business at contracted pricing, ordered from the property.
Every approval, edit and delay timestamped and tied to a person. See exactly who held an invoice and for how long.
Business card spend is captured and coded to the same property and budget as POs and invoices, so it stops hiding from your totals.
Every vendor invoice is captured, coded to the property and owner entity it belongs to, and matched against its PO and receipt where one exists. Clean invoices flow straight through. Exceptions route to the right person with the discrepancy already flagged.
| Line item | Property | PO | Invoice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water heater, 50 gal | 214 Elm St | $1,240 | $1,240✓ |
| Emergency labor, 3 hours | 214 Elm St | $405 | $405✓ |
| Shut-off valve, replaced | 214 Elm St | $85 | $85✓ |
Site staff shop supplier catalogs inside ProcureDesk, from the property, on mobile. Contracted pricing applies automatically, the property and budget are attached, and the order still runs through approval before the PO goes out.

The documentation an owner, lender or auditor wants is created as the work happens, not reconstructed at year-end.
Access controls, audit logs and data protection independently audited.
Every request, approval, change and payment timestamped and attributed, searchable by property or owner entity.
Thresholds by property, amount and entity, enforced by the system. An emergency path that is fast-tracked and still logged.
Committed and actual spend by property, category and vendor you can hand over as a report, not an email thread.
“We used to have 200 invoices sitting there waiting for approval, monthly. We don't have that anymore. It's not even a thought. ProcureDesk wiped one of our biggest headaches.”
Property proof first. The other two are the same problem, approvals after the invoice, in a different building.
“We used to have 200 invoices sitting there waiting for approval, monthly. We don't have that anymore. It's not even a thought.”
“Anybody could order goods or services, and approval only happened after the invoice arrived. We needed to put controls in place. ProcureDesk became one of those must-have solutions.”
“The PO-matching feature auto-codes right into our invoices. Month-end close went from 10 days to 4. Time I used to spend reconciling, I now spend on actual analysis.”
A Minnesota housing developer running 50+ owner entities on Sage Intacct moved a few hundred invoices a week through multi-step approvals, with entity and dimension coding intact, and cleared a standing backlog of 200 invoices.
Anyone could order and approval happened after the invoice arrived. Metabolon put requests and budget checks in front of the spend and gave finance one place to see it.
Late payments, missed invoices in a stack of paper, and board members who had to wait for scanned documents. Approvals moved to email and mobile with a full trail behind each one.
Emergency and routine POs, per-property budgets, named punchouts.

Read the guide →ProcureDesk against Yardi P2P, Fraxion, Precoro and others, on what a controller needs.
Compare the options →Yardi and AppFolio record spend after it is committed and, for catalog buys, generate a PO. ProcureDesk controls it before: mobile requests, per-property budget checks and rules-based approvals across every vendor, not only partner catalogs, then 3-way matching before payment. It posts the approved, coded result to your accounting system and does not replace the PMS.
Yes. Most property teams start invoice-first. Invoices are captured, routed by property and amount, coded to the right entity and GL, and posted to your accounting system. Purchase orders can be switched on later for any property or category, on the same system.
No. You do not have to switch at all to get value. When you are ready, turn on requests for one category, say capital projects or unit turns. The routing and audit trail are already in place from the invoice side, so nothing is re-implemented.
Yes. Techs raise a request from their phone: attach a photo, pick the property and vendor, or shop a punchout catalog like Home Depot Pro or Grainger. If it takes more than a minute, adoption dies, so it does not.
Rules route by property, amount, category and owner LLC. Under the threshold clears automatically. Above it, the regional manager or owner approves from email or mobile. A stalled approval escalates to a backup after a set time, and every step is timestamped.
Native two-way sync with QuickBooks (Online, Desktop and Enterprise), Sage Intacct (including dimensions and locations), NetSuite, Microsoft Business Central and Xero, plus Bill.com for payments. There is no native Yardi or AppFolio connector today; ProcureDesk runs beside the PMS through the accounting system.
It fits property management companies and housing operators past roughly 1,000 units or with an owner entity per property, handling 50+ POs or a few hundred invoices a month on QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite or Business Central. If your GL lives in Yardi Voyager and you buy through Yardi Marketplace end to end, stay on Yardi Procure to Pay. If you are under 50 POs a month, AppFolio's built-in POs may be enough.
Yes. Every invoice shows its current approver, how long it has been there and the full history. Approvers get the invoice, the coding and a one-click approve in their email, so nothing waits on someone logging in.
2 to 4 weeks. ProcureDesk builds your approval workflows, accounting integration and supplier catalogs from your spec. Your team tests; you do not configure.
A 30-minute walkthrough mapped to your portfolio: your entities, your approvers, your accounting system. Bring last month's invoices with no PO and we will show you where they would have stopped.
