Automate procurement cycles, enforce PO validation limits, and run 3-way reconciliation on vendor bills with zero discrepancies.

Manage Purchase Orders Without Spreadsheets

Automate procurement cycles, enforce PO validation limits, and run 3-way reconciliation on vendor bills with zero discrepancies. In modern competitive markets, disconnected operations create invisible friction, delayed reporting, and customer churn. This blueprint outlines how growing organizations deploy agile, connected workflows that scale with zero administrative overhead.

Executive Key Takeaways
  • Enforced Approval Thresholds: Route purchase orders above designated budgets to senior management for explicit digital sign-off.
  • 3-Way Matching Verification: Automatically match purchase orders, warehouse goods receipts, and vendor invoices before payment release.
  • Vendor Price History Tracking: Compare supplier price quotes and delivery lead times across multiple vendors effortlessly.
  • Automated Landed Cost Allocation: Distribute shipping, customs, and handling charges across received inventory for accurate unit costing.

1. The Chaos of Spreadsheet Procurement

Managing procurement through email threads and spreadsheets inevitably leads to rogue spending, duplicate orders, and payments made for goods that were never actually delivered to the warehouse.

2. Bulletproof 3-Way Matching

C36Space enforces automated 3-way matching. The system verifies that the quantities and prices on the vendor's bill match what was originally authorized on the Purchase Order and physically logged by warehouse staff on the Goods Receipt Note before payment is approved.

3. True Landed Cost Calculation

When purchasing imported or freighted inventory, the product purchase price is only part of the equation. C36Space allocates customs duties, port handling, and shipping charges directly onto product unit costs, ensuring accurate financial margins.
