ProcureDesk runs the full procure-to-pay process for biotech — punchout to Thermo Fisher, VWR and Grainger, approvals that don't live in email, automatic 3-way matching, and clean sync to QuickBooks, NetSuite and Sage Intacct. Finance gets real-time spend visibility. Your lab gets its time back.
R&D budget: $38,200 remaining this quarter
In most labs, the person designing the experiment is also the one comparing supplier quotes, chasing a backorder, and hunting for the invoice that matches a PO. When purchasing lives in email threads and spreadsheets, finance loses visibility into committed spend, and scientists lose time they don't have.
Busy approvers get hundreds of emails a day. A purchase request sits behind all of them until someone remembers to go looking for it.
Invoices often arrive before anyone logged the purchase request. By the time spend shows up in the accounting system, the money is already committed and budgets are guesswork.
Comparing quotes, tracking backorders, confirming a delivery so AP can pay the invoice — hours a week pulled from the bench, not the ledger.
ProcureDesk gives every person in the buying chain exactly the view they need — nothing more to learn.
See committed spend by lab, program, or grant before invoices land, and close faster with automatic matching instead of chasing scientists for confirmation.
Order from ThermoFisher and VWR at negotiated pricing, and see backorders and delivery status without emailing the supplier.
Answer "how much have we spent on research so far" without pulling a report, and keep an audit trail ready for diligence.
Retire the spreadsheet of open POs. Raise a request, route it automatically, and stop being everyone's procurement department.
We configure the whole flow for you — punchout catalogs, approval rules, and your accounting sync — before you ever log in.
A punchout is a live connection between ProcureDesk and a supplier's own store. A researcher clicks to shop at ThermoFisher or VWR, browses inside the supplier site with your contract pricing already applied, and their cart comes back as a purchase requisition — ready for approval.
…and 55+ more lab suppliers
3-way matching verifies an invoice against the purchase order and the goods receipt. When quantity, price and line items agree, the invoice approves itself. When they don't, ProcureDesk routes the exception to the right reviewer — no manual reconciliation.
ProcureDesk is a certified QuickBooks partner and syncs both master data — suppliers, projects, classes, chart of accounts — and transactions like POs and invoices. OCR captures line-item data from supplier invoices at 99.5% accuracy, so nothing is keyed twice.
The inventory module tracks on-hand supplies and equipment across multiple sites, with usage history and reorder points. For reagents and chemicals, record lot numbers and expiration dates down to the individual lot — the audit trail regulators and QA teams expect.
Lab work doesn't happen at a desk. The ProcureDesk mobile app lets your team photograph a card receipt or packing slip on the spot, approve a pending request between experiments, and check what's left in the fridge or the stockroom before placing a duplicate order.
General P2P platforms like Coupa, Procurify, or Ramp treat a lab like any other cost center. ProcureDesk is configured around how biotech actually buys.
Native punchout to Thermo Fisher, VWR, Sigma and 55+ scientific suppliers, with contract pricing built in.
Track chemicals and reagents down to the lot, with the audit trail QA and regulators expect.
See committed spend by lab, program or grant before the invoice ever lands.
