See requisition-to-PO automation in action

Use Precoro to submit purchase requests through guided forms with custom fields and dropdowns. Built-in and PunchOut catalogs help ensure compliant purchasing from approved suppliers. Requests are automatically routed for approval with full budget visibility, and can be quickly converted into purchase orders with pre-filled pricing, terms, and vendor details. You can also combine multiple requests into a single PO to streamline purchasing and maximize savings.

Enjoy full visibility into order statuses

Track every purchase from start to finish. Our procure-to-pay system provides full visibility and a clear audit trail at every step. Instantly see whether an order was approved, ordered, received, or paid—no emails, no guesswork, just complete control.

Automate invoice capture & 3-way match

Invoices are captured with AI-powered OCR that recognizes document context and extracts key details like invoice numbers, vendor data, and payment terms with high accuracy. The system detects duplicates, performs 3-way matching, and flags discrepancies. It helps prevent errors, reduce fraud risk, and protect your financial outcomes.

Control budgets and spending

Set budgets across periods, departments, locations, and projects, and track them in real time with clear progress indicators. Precoro shows available funds during request creation and approval, helping teams stay within limits. It also sends alerts as spending approaches the cap and can automatically block requests that exceed it.

Communicate with suppliers more efficiently

Collaborate with suppliers in real time on RFPs, purchase orders, and invoices through Precoro’s Supplier Portal. Easily onboard new vendors using customizable registration forms and approval workflows. Store contracts and supplier data securely, and get notified before contracts expire.

Use PunchOut catalogs for faster, compliant purchasing

Let your team shop directly from supplier websites while staying fully within your procurement workflow. With real-time pricing and product data, you eliminate manual work and ensure every purchase aligns with approved vendors and terms.

Keep track of your stock balance

Instead of reordering items you already have, employees can check real-time inventory levels directly in the procure-to-pay system. They can easily submit warehouse requests and receive available items faster. The system tracks all inventory usage and sends low-stock alerts to warehouse managers to prevent shortages.

Break free from your desk
