By the numbers
Across 4 sections — minutes to complete.
Pre-fills from your past purchases.
Cross-references your supplier catalog before submission.
Based on category × budget × business unit.
The use case
Your employees need to buy things. Today that means Slacking the procurement team, emailing 4 follow-up questions about budget and supplier, getting routed to the wrong approver, and waiting 5-7 days for a PO that should have taken 2 hours. Procurement spends 30% of its week on intake triage instead of strategic sourcing. Buyers shadow-purchase on personal cards to avoid the queue.
The Purchase Request form makes intake structured at the front door. 14 typed fields across 4 sections — required where it matters, optional where it doesn't. Catalog-aware matching from the first keystroke. Auto-routed approvals based on category × budget × business unit. Approved requests become POs synced to your ERP in 60 seconds. From request-submitted to PO-issued in 4 hours, not 5 days.
For who
Capabilities
As soon as the requester types the item, Flowie cross-references your contract catalog, preferred suppliers, and negotiated rates. If a contracted alternative exists at a better price, we surface it inline. Guided buying without the buyer waiting for someone in procurement to weigh in.
Total budget plus business unit plus category drive the approval matrix automatically. Sub-threshold purchases go straight to PO. Above-threshold requests route to the right approver(s) in parallel based on your delegation rules. Average approval time drops from 4 days to 4 hours.
Attach a supplier quote PDF and the OCR Agent extracts line items, totals, payment terms, and validity date automatically. The PO is pre-populated. No re-keying. The Agent flags discrepancies between the requester's stated budget and the supplier's actual quote.
Once approved, the request becomes a PO with the right GL coding, cost center allocation, and supplier reference — synced to your ERP in 60 seconds. Suppliers receive the PO via email, Peppol, EDI, or direct ERP integration depending on their preference.
