Procurement & Site module

Purchase & Procurement in Mango ERP

From site requisition to approved purchase order, with the price compared and the budget checked.

What it is

What does the Purchase & Procurement module do?

Purchase & Procurement takes a requisition raised on site, compares the latest supplier prices, routes it for approval and issues the purchase order or subcontract — checked against the project budget at each step. Requesters see the moment their request becomes an order, and the purchase team plans buying across projects instead of order by order.

The problem it solves

01

Requests stuck in approval

Paper and WhatsApp requests wait for signatures, and site does not know whether anything has been ordered.

02

Prices not compared

Orders go to the usual supplier at the usual price because comparing quotes takes too long.

03

Buying blind to the budget

Purchase orders are raised without seeing how much of the project budget is already committed.

Key features

Purchase requests from site

Site raises the request from the office or the phone, with project and cost code.

Price comparison

Compare supplier quotes and the latest prices paid before placing the order.

Approval workflow

Requests and orders follow your approval levels, with every approval recorded.

Purchase orders & subcontracts

Issue POs for material and contracts for subcontracted work from the same request.

Requesters are notified when their request is approved and when it becomes an order.

Purchase planning

Plan buying across projects and see what is ordered, pending and due.
