How It Works
How Commercial Electrical Contractors Use ProcureDesk AP Automation
Step 1: Automated Setup & Vendor Integration
We handle the complete setup, including integration with your existing electrical supply house accounts, equipment vendors, and subcontractor networks. Our team configures automated workflows that align with your project-based approval structures, enabling project managers, superintendents, and electrical foremen to approve invoices from the field using our mobile app.
Step 2: Intelligent Invoice Capture with Line-Item Recognition
Invoices from electrical distributors like Graybar, Rexel, and WESCO are automatically captured and processed using advanced OCR technology. The system recognizes and extracts individual line items, including part numbers, quantities, and descriptions, for industry-specific items such as switchgear, transformers, EMT conduit, THHN wire, and LED fixtures. Each line item is automatically matched to its corresponding purchase order lines with 99% accuracy, eliminating the need for manual verification.
Step 3: Project-Based Approval Workflows
Create custom approval workflows that route invoices based on project codes, cost centers, and dollar amounts. When your superintendent orders emergency materials for a hospital electrical upgrade or data center installation, approvals flow seamlessly to the right project manager while maintaining full audit trails for client billing and change orders.
Step 4: Advanced Line-Item Matching & Payment Processing
Our system automatically matches invoices to individual line items on purchase orders and receiving documents with precision. Whether it’s 500 feet of 12 AWG THHN wire, a specific Square D panel, or individual conduit fittings, every line item is verified against your original purchase order. This eliminates manual verification for everything from basic wiring devices and junction boxes to complex motor control centers, ensuring accurate payments to suppliers while maintaining strong budget controls at the SKU level.
Step 5: Seamless ERP Integration & Financial Reporting
ProcureDesk integrates directly with QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Microsoft Business Central, Xero, and Bill.com, ensuring all financial data flows seamlessly into your existing accounting systems while maintaining project-level cost tracking for accurate job costing and profit analysis.

What Our Customers Say
“We were experiencing late payments and potential missed invoices that didn’t get processed in the stack of papers. When board members wanted to review certain expenses, we had to physically scan documents. It just wasn’t a truly transparent process,”
“Anybody within the company could order goods or services, and approval would only happen after the invoice arrived. We needed to put controls in place, and ProcureDesk became one of those must-have solutions.”
“There was a general lack of clarity and transparency around our budgets. Because we wouldn’t get invoiced right away, we would pull budget reports in Quickbooks, but they were never fully accurate or up-to-date because of those pending orders.”
