Our procure-to-pay process at a glance

Employees submit purchase requests by filling out all the necessary information and attaching the relevant documents, such as quotes or contracts.

Requests (and each line item) are sent for approval by going through the pre-defined approval workflow that can vary based on the amount, cost center, location, project, and more. Once approved, a PO is automatically created.

Invoices, receipt notes, and purchase orders are automatically matched against one another, ensuring that the goods or services received match the quantity and agreed-upon price.

Ensure Invoices are paid on time and free of charge using SEPA Instant, Faster Payments, ACH, and Bisera transfers — all directly from the platform.
