Every purchase request, orchestrated from the start

Create, route, and approve requests before spend happens – no more confusion, no more surprises.

Conversational intake
Requests that fit how your team actually works

Turn casual requests into complete, compliant workflows. Employees stay productive — policies run in the background. All it takes is a message, a screenshot or even a voice note.

Workflow designer
From chat to workflow – automatically

Every spend type runs on its own policy. Intelligent routing ensures every purchase request lands with the right approver, reviewer, and budget owner. Based on your rules, roles, and process, requests follow the exact path you set. Our AI Agent does the chasing – so nothing falls through the cracks.

Collaboration
One shared view, no more silos

Approvals, supplier info, budgets, conversations – it’s all in one place. That means no more email chains, no duplicate work, and no doubt about what’s approved, by whom, or why. Employees are automatically updated on next steps and finance has all the context to act with confidence.

Real-time budget visibility
Know where every cent is going – before it's spent

Every purchase request is tied to the right budget for accurate, real-time decision making. Plan for spend before it hits your ledger. No waiting until month-end. No guessing. Just live visibility into every commitment, allocation, and upcoming expense.

"As a motorsport team, our expenses cover everything from expensive tyres and fuel to travel/accommodation expenses and event staff… Payhawk helps us manage these costs efficiently and avoid overspending."

Ryan Franklin, Financial ControllerRead the case study

Total payment confidence — before a cent leaves your account.

See what’s approved, match every line item, and track spend in real time. So you never overpay, overspend, or overlook an error again.

Line-item verification
Catch discrepancies before they cost you


Line-by-line checks flag mismatches instantly. Discrepancies trigger additional approvals, so you only ever pay for what was actually ordered.

Intelligent 3-way matching
Prevent fraud and human error — at the source

2- and 3-way line-item matching ensures every invoice, GRN, and PO aligns — no gaps, no surprises.

Flexible payments
Approved? Pay your way

Pick the payment method in your workflow. Choose to process supplier invoices through Finance or load funds directly onto employee cards for self-service payments.
