THE PAIN TODAY

Requisitions over email/paper, manual quote comparisons, and invoices that drift from the PO — input costs and payables are hard to control.

WHAT YOU GET WITH APUS

A purchase request starts from demand that already exists in the system — stock norms, work orders, the approved plan — then goes through RFQ and approval by limit. The incoming invoice is matched against the PO and the goods receipt; if any of the three disagree it stops right there, before the money leaves the account.

The purchase order is where a spending commitment becomes binding: from here the receipt and the invoice must agree, and a mismatch blocks payment instead of waiting for someone to notice.

AI IN THIS MODULE

Let AI suggest better buys and catch discrepancies early.

  • Suggest suppliers and better prices from history.

  • Flag abnormal prices and late-delivery risk.

  • Auto-match invoices and detect variances against the PO.

Without an agent the work does not disappear — it moves onto a person.

It only starts when somebody remembers it and finds the time to sit down with it.

The business event starts it, not somebody's memory.

WITHOUT AN AGENT

To learn where things stand you ask a colleague to check, then to export a report.

WITH AN AGENT
ON REQUEST

Ask in your own words; the answer comes off the numbers already in the system.

“Which of these quotes should we go with?”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How does three-way matching work?+

The system matches Purchase Order – Goods Receipt – Invoice and blocks payment when quantity or price differs.

Can approvals follow levels/limits?+

Yes. Configure approval flows by value, department and limit; every step keeps an approval log.

Do you score and manage suppliers?+

Each supplier has a profile of its own, scored on quality, delivery and price at every transaction — so the next sourcing round already has something to compare.

Is purchasing tied to inventory and finance?+

POs and goods receipts update stock, accounts payable and budgets on one data layer, in a single posting.
