Every business has unique purchase approval processes. In some organizations, approvals follow a strict hierarchy, while others grant employees preapproved purchase rights with thresholds. And, of course, there are countless other permutations.
GEP SMARTTM can do it all. Approvals can be based on value, category, geography and business unit. Workflows can be hierarchical, parallel or pooled and apply to requisitions, orders or both, as well as tailored to local needs or company policy. GEP SMART works the way you want your business to work. That makes all the difference, doesn’t it?
