The B2B procurement platform www.mercateo.co.uk is expanding its range of functions for business customers with a free digital approval process with company account. With Mercateo ApproveNow manual approvals on paper are replaced by a standardised digital approval process. Companies can manage their entire purchasing using this. All departments make purchases themselves through the company account. This helps companies to save time and money. Potential for savings and optimisation also become apparent.
Approve, decline or change with just one click
“Following on from Germany, where more than 1,000 companies are already using Mercateo Approve Now, companies in Great Britain can now also activate and use this function free of charge”, explains Hans Pretz, Product Manager at Mercateo.
Mercateo ApproveNow is fully integrated in the procurement platform and offers companies the chance to combine all requesters within the company under one customer number and issue customised approval conditions for each user. For example, if budget limits are exceeded, the next user in the purchasing hierarchy is informed by email and can approve, decline or change the purchase order request with just one click.
As a result, the obligatory approval by a line manager’s signature is transferred to a digital process on the Mercateo platform. Besides saving time and costs, this also provides better control and creates transparency in purchasing. As all the company account’s order processes can be analysed using an integrated data export at any time.
More than just purchasing software – 1.5 million items and customer-specific ranges
Mercateo ApproveNow is different to standard software systems mainly due to the combination with an extremely wide B2B range that is integrated on the Mercateo platform. The constantly growing range of more than 1.5 million items already covers companies’ business and specialist needs. In addition, customer-specific catalogues from contractual suppliers can be integrated resulting in even more special offers.
