What is a Purchase Management System?
A purchase management system is a software solution that automates and streamlines the procurement process. It doesn't matter if they are purchase requisitions and approvals, supplier management, or invoice matching; all the processes are streamlined without error.
Most systems provide the following components:
- Supplier management
- Purchase orders creation and tracking
- Budget control and approval workflows
- Invoice matching and payment tracking
- Analysis and reporting
Why Your Business Needs a Purchase Management System
Manual purchasing processes run the risk of missed orders, duplicate orders, and miscommunication with vendors. A dedicated purchase management system removes that risk by providing the following:
- Automation: Reducing manual processes and errors.
- Transparency: Maintaining a history of transactions, approvals, and receipts.
- Cost Control: Sufficient record management helps with better negotiations with vendors, as well as prevents overspending.
- Compliance: Requirements of the company are followed throughout the purchasing process by the potential purchase management system.
- Data-driven decisions: Reporting capabilities can help with making more informed purchasing decisions going forward through real-time information.
