Purchase Management Workflow

Your purchase team isn't slow. Your process is leaking money.

“A request comes in. Nobody knows which customer order it's for.”

With iTech Sarathi

Raise a purchase request manually or straight from a customer sales order. It is approved before anything is bought.

The Usual Way

“Three quotes buried in one email thread. We buy from whoever we always buy from.”

With iTech Sarathi

Send one RFQ to many vendors, compare price by item and variant, and create the PO from the best quote.

Instant 1-click PO generation locking negotiated rates
Is the order confirmed?
The Usual Way

“Has the vendor confirmed? Did the invoice come? We keep calling to find out.”

With iTech Sarathi

The PO status and sub-status update themselves as vendor documents and payments arrive.
