Procurement & Purchase Management

We design ERP procurement so that the compliant route is also the easiest one, because wherever the correct process is slower than the workaround, the workaround wins. That means approval thresholds matched to real delegated authority, catalogues where they genuinely speed routine buying, and three-way matching that controls invoices with sensible tolerances. We also make payment depend on a valid purchase order, which is what ends retrospective ordering rather than merely discouraging it. The outcome is spend that is visible by category, supplier and cost centre against budget, so overspend is seen in time to act on it.

In short

ERP procurement covers requisitioning, approval, purchase orders, receipting and supplier invoice matching. Its purpose is to make controlled spending visible and to ensure the business only pays for what it ordered and received.

What we do

The work inside procurement & purchase management.

Requisition and approval workflow

We design requisition and approval workflows that mirror your actual delegated authority and spend thresholds. Thresholds are set tight enough to control risk but loose enough that routine purchases are not needlessly escalated, since excessive escalation trains approvers to click through without reading.

Purchase order management

We design order handling that covers standard, blanket and service purchasing rather than only the simple case. Getting the harder categories right is what prevents the off-system buying that undermines spend control and invoice matching.

Receipting and matching

We configure receipting and three-way matching with tolerances that catch genuine discrepancies without blocking on trivial ones. Matching against the order and the receipt is the control that stops the business paying for goods it did not order or never received.

Spend visibility

We build reporting that shows spend by category, supplier and cost centre against budget as it happens. Visibility in the period is what lets you act before an overspend is locked in, rather than explaining it afterwards.

How an engagement runs

Discover, assess, design, deliver.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand the business drivers, decision rights, existing systems, and what the programme must genuinely change. We separate the outcomes that justify the investment from features that only sound useful, so the programme has a purpose to steer by.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Review process, data, integration, controls, governance, and change readiness against the plan. We report plainly where the plan holds and where it depends on assumptions that need evidence before commitment.

  3. 03

    Design

    Set out target processes, control requirements, data approach, integration model, and adoption plan. Each is documented well enough to build to and to hold a delivery partner accountable against.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Support configuration, testing, cutover, and stabilisation, with independent oversight throughout. We hold the line on scope, data readiness, and controls, and surface drift while there is still time to correct it.
