The Old Way

Honestly, Is this way to create and manage your purchase orders?

Spreadsheets are great but not for creating and tracking purchase orders for your company.

  • Still, using a spreadsheet to create purchase orders? A manual purchase order process can work initially, but the process does not scale to support your business growth.
  • Chasing managers for purchase approvals is no fun! Especially when you have a paper request form.
  • A manual approval process can be as long as two days. Imagine the impact it has on your business. You can’t get the products or services in time.
  • Manual spreadsheets for order tracking become outdated quickly because of the constant changes to the order status.
  • Worst case, employees completely skip the purchase orders process, and now you have unauthorized spending.
  • Unauthorized spending leads to surprise invoices that mess up your cash flow planning!

The Solution

Imagine never having to track another order spreadsheet!

With an online purchase order system, you will never worry about managing spreadsheets.

  1. ProcureDesk provides a single palace to create, approve and track purchase orders.
  2. Use catalogs to make repeat purchases a breeze. Create the catalog once and then purchase with one click.
  3. Punchout catalogs allow you to connect to different vendor websites and copy the cart data into the procurement data. Your employees get a better purchasing experience, and you get better cost controls.
  4. Control spending by establishing budgets and then using the budget controls to avoid overspending.
  5. An online purchase order system makes compliance easier. With automated workflows, employees get routed to appropriate stakeholders for approval.

    • Select the PO template that best matches your purchase order format.
    • Automate user defaults so that the system can create purchase orders without selecting the same data repeatedly—for example, chart of accounts, ship-to address, department, etc.

Supplier catalogs for a better purchasing experience

Provide a better employee experience and increase your procurement team’s productivity using supplier catalogs.

    • With integration with over 100 suppliers, it is easy to link ProcureDesk to your favorite online store like Amazon.com so that employees can get the online shopping experience. 
    • You can still pay using a company purchasing card and a purchase order process. 

Step 03

Automated purchase approvals

With automated purchase order approval workflows, your request gets routed for approvals automatically. 

    • Define your purchasing policy. Set up your authorization matrix and then let the system send the request for approval based on location, user, department, or different stakeholders. 
    • Managers get real-time visibility into spending, which helps them control costs. 
    • The procurement team has complete visibility into purchases, leading to better cost savings.

Step 04

Email notifications and Mobile app for approvals

With purchase order management software, you don’t have to worry about tracking purchase approvals.

    • The system automatically sends email reminders to get purchase order requests approved on time.
    • With the mobile app, managers can approve purchase requests and speed up the approval cycle time. 

Step 05

Automatically generate a purchase order

One of the key benefits of purchase order automation is that you don’t have to manually send purchase orders to suppliers.

    • With the purchase order workflow, you can instruct the system to send the purchase order to the supplier after internal approvals.
    • Track all your purchase order documents in one single place.
    • Inbuilt reporting tool provides granular spend visibility. With an open order report, you can track all open purchase orders and the invoicing activity for those purchase orders. 

Step 06

Send purchase order to your Accounting system.

Once the purchase order is created, automatically send the purchase order to your accounting system. 

    • ProcureDesk integrates with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Enterprise, Xero, Sage Intacct, and Netsuite.
