Budget Management

Create spend thresholds and maintain guardrails, while giving buyers more purchase authority.

Have confidence in your purchasing process.

As procurement becomes increasingly digital, traditional processes need to transform. Using Budget Management, procurement teams can maintain the controls and guardrails they require while empowering their buyers with greater purchasing authority.

Create budgetary transparency and use control check-points, like pre-purchase approvals, to reduce dependencies on manual process and operate more efficiently, end-to-end. 

  • Empower your buyers

    Set spend thresholds and make budgets visible, so buyers can make informed purchasing decisions.

  • Take back your time

    Create one PO instead of multiple orders to decrease the amount of time spent auditing purchases.

  • Future-proof budgets

    Allocate a budget to users of a group that automatically assigns budget as new users join.
