Procurement software from GrayMatter
Request, compare, approve, order.
The problem
Approval by email chain
A request starts in a message, quotes arrive as attachments, approval is a reply saying "go ahead", and the order is placed by whoever has the supplier's number. The spend is real and the trail is not.
What GrayMatter Procurement is
Request, compare, approve, order.
Purchase requests that go to the right approver, vendor comparison on one screen, and purchase orders raised from the approval rather than re-keyed from it.
-
Requests
A single way to ask, with what is needed, when and why, captured at the point of asking.
-
Comparison
Quotes side by side against the same criteria, so the choice can be explained later.
-
Approval and order
The approval chain you actually use, recorded, ending in an order rather than another email.
We do not operate a supplier network or negotiate on your behalf.
Who it is for
The people in front of it every day.
- Requesters across departments
- Approvers who want to decide in under a minute
- Finance and audit, for the trail
One ecosystem
The intelligence is underneath, not bolted on.
Connected, committed spend becomes visible next to demand and cash, which is the gap that usually costs money: operations commits while finance is still reading last month.
Alongside it
The rest of Business Applications.
Questions
What people ask about GrayMatter Procurement.
Can approval limits differ by department?
Yes. The approval chain is configured to how your organisation actually approves, including limits and delegation.
Does it connect to our accounting system?
That is the normal case, and integration usually begins read-only before anything is written back.
