Purchase Requests
Track Purchase Requests Online with Integrify
Does your company have a complex asset-purchasing process that requires approvals from numerous managers located in different locations? Global budgets need to guide, and in some cases restrict the investment decision process. Critical investment decisions are often delayed or lost in volumes of paperwork.
In addition, approvals can be requested in person or through email, creating inconsistencies. Management is unable to see where requests are in this process or to expedite purchases with strategic significance. Users are unaware of when tasks are due or where bottlenecks occur. The lack of a single, defined process makes the job of tracking and managing capital expenditure requests difficult and time-consuming.
The end result is that a purchase request process, rather than enabling your business to acquire the valuable assets it needs to thrive, succeed, and grow, can instead become a snarling bottleneck that buries progress in layers of red tape and manual approvals.

Let’s examine common purchasing request process issues, look at how web-based purchasing requests can simplify the process, and why workflow automation is a gamechanger for turning your purchasing requests into engines of business growth.
