Automate the purchasing process and reduce manual effort

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

Workflow designer
Intelligent approval routing for every spend category

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 committed

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.

Turns words into workflows

Just say what you need. The agent captures the request, fills in the blanks, and gets it moving. Zero learning curve. Zero scary POs.

Plays by your rules

It knows your approval logic, budget limits, and workflows – and keeps requests on track. Takes over chasing and updates everyone involved.

Sees it through

From approval to payment, the agent nudges the right next step – issuing cards, routing invoices, or sharing context with finance.

Simplify the procurement experience for everyone

Unite finance, procurement, and employees in one intelligent flow – with none of the usual friction.

With proactive spend approval, teams finally have truе real-time visibility over spend. That’s more control with no extra workload.

Policies are automatically enforced, so teams can focus on strategic work, negotiations, and cost-cutting rather than handling routine requests and chasing stakeholders.

FAQ

Procure-to-pay (P2P) software is an integrated system that provides a full cycle of procurement and supply chain management processes. It is designed to streamline the entire procurement process from the point of making a request for goods or services (procure) to the point of paying the suppliers (pay).

Procure-to-pay is an end-to-end process that handles both purchasing and accounts payable tasks, such as purchase requests, purchase orders, invoice reconciliation and approval, and payment for goods or services.

2-way matching compares a purchase order against an invoice. 3-way matching goes further by also checking receipts or delivery notes. Payhawk automates this down to the line item, catching discrepancies before they reach your ledger.

Every request is linked to a budget from the start. Approvals commit funds in real time, so approvers always see what’s left before saying yes. Line-by-line checks flag mismatches instantly, meaning you only pay for what was actually ordered.

The software automates the entire procurement process, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing errors. From the creation of purchase requests to the approval workflows and final payments, everything is streamlined and automated.

Very. Once a request is approved, Finance can process supplier invoices through AP, or funds can be loaded onto a single-use or employee card. You set the rules — Payhawk makes sure the process is followed.

Yes — that’s the point. Employees can just type what they need in plain language. Payhawk’s AI Agent collects the right info, applies your rules, and routes it for approval. No confusing forms. No compliance headaches.

The time for implementation can vary based on the specific needs and size of your business. Our team is here to help and guide you through the process.

Payhawk procure-to-pay allows for a high level of customisation. You can map out your purchase approval workflows, set discrepancy thresholds, and customise supplier data entry and collection according to your business needs.

Our software is designed with a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to create purchase requests, manage invoices, and handle payments. It is designed to be intuitive and easy to adapt to.
