PURCHASE REQUEST SOFTWARE

Purchase request software that makes every request decision-ready.

Give employees a simple way to request what they need while required details, budgets, suppliers, supporting documents, and approval rules are captured from the start. Give Procurement and Finance the context to make a decision without chasing information before every purchase.

GET THE REQUEST RIGHT FIRST

Incomplete requests create work before purchasing even starts.

When employees submit requests through email, chat, or spreadsheets, key information is often missing. Procurement has to collect specifications, find attachments, confirm budgets, identify suppliers, and figure out who needs to approve before the request can move forward.

Precoro captures that context upfront.

Ask for the right information

Use custom forms and required fields to collect the details each type of purchase needs instead of relying on free-form requests.

Bring budget context in early

Connect requests to the right budgets so approvers understand the financial impact before saying yes.

Route it right the first time

Use predefined rules to send each request to the right approvers based on requester, amount, location, custom fields, and other business criteria.

Flip the 80/20.

Flip the 80/20.

Let automation handle more of the routing and repetitive request work, so Procurement can focus on the purchases that need judgment, consolidation, or intervention.

GIVE EVERY REQUEST THE CONTEXT IT NEEDS

Give approvers the full picture before they make the call.

The information a purchase needs may vary, but every request should arrive with enough context to move forward without another round of emails.

FROM NEED TO APPROVED DEMAND

Move every request forward with less back-and-forth.

DRAG
One place to submit, no email chains

Give employees one clear place to submit what they need instead of starting purchasing through email, Slack, or spreadsheets.

Request
Every request arrives decision-ready

Collect the required item, supplier, quote, budget, delivery, and business information using the form appropriate to that request.

Complete
Budget and policy checked before approval

Validate required information, budget context, and purchasing rules before the request proceeds.

Check
Routed to the right approver automatically

Route the request through the relevant managers, budget owners, Procurement, Finance, or other stakeholders based on predefined rules.

Approve
Approved requests become POs instantly

Turn approved demand into the next purchasing action without rebuilding the request. Create a PO directly from the PR, automatically generate a PO when configured, or use the approved request as the basis for sourcing when supplier selection is still needed.

Hand Off
Status visible at every stage

Let requesters and Procurement see whether a request is still pending, approved, under revision, or already connected to downstream purchasing documents.

Track

LESS FRICTION, BETTER DECISIONS

Get better request data without turning employees into procurement experts.

Precoro keeps requesting simple while putting the controls Procurement and Finance need behind the process.

REQUESTERS

Ask without learning procurement policy

 

  • Use forms designed for the type of purchase.
  • Select items from approved catalogs and PunchOuts.
  • Upload a supplier quote instead of retyping it.
  • Add attachments and collaborate directly inside the request.
  • Create and manage requisitions from mobile.
