BudgetSense®

Procurement

Efficient tools for automated electronic purchasing
The BudgetSense® Procurement module automates your procurement process from the initial requisition through the final payables process. Designed for organizations that may have multiple departments or locations, this BudgetSense module supports remote access with centralized control and budget management.

Electronic Requisitions Automate Workflow
With BudgetSense Procurement, requisitions are created online and then routed
electronically to supervisors for approval. Vendor information and budget balances are available on demand. Remote site users can access the Procurement module, with embedded security limits restricting access to properly assigned budget accounts.

Speedy Approval Process
Conventional paper-based purchasing can frequently take days or weeks to get a single purchase order into the hands of a vendor for fulfillment. BudgetSense turbo-charges this process by routing the requests to the proper supervisor, with all the tools needed to make a prompt decision. Upon approval, requisitions are transformed into purchase orders and automatically encumbered in the budget. Throughout the process, each user has complete access to the status of each transaction.

Time-Saving Site-Based Management
In addition to electronic requisitioning, BudgetSense Procurement provides powerful site-based tools for your individual building or department managers. Real-time access to current budget status reports eliminates the “blind spots” in your organization’s budget. Calls to the business office are reduced dramatically.

Instant Access with BudgetSense Control Panel
Managing a high-volume purchasing operation is trouble-free with the BudgetSense Control Panel. This tool provides one point of access to view the status of any transaction, from any site. Sophisticated sorting and searching options eliminate the need to weed through paper records to answer questions for vendors or staff members.
