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.”
