How to Set Up a PO System (Even on a Limited Budget)

Last Updated on November 23, 2021February 19, 2022 by frevvoblog

Purchase orders play an important role in the procurement process. They allow companies to place orders with different suppliers and manage their inventory.

Most importantly, purchase orders serve as written agreements that include details about goods, quantities, prices, and delivery dates.

No matter what goods or services you purchase, you need a way to track those orders.

A paper-based purchase order process can work. But as your company grows, managing all the paperwork becomes a hassle and can slow down procurement.

So how can you create a more efficient purchase order process?

Using a purchase order (PO) system can help.

If you’re still managing purchase orders manually and are looking for a way to streamline this process, then keep reading.

In this article, we’ll walk you through what a PO system is, why your business needs one, and how you can set one up using frevvo’s purchase order workflow software.

Modern low-code platforms are so easy to use that you don’t need an army of expensive developers or a large I.T. budget. The interface is fully visual, so if you know how to use Excel then you can create your own automated workflows.

This is where business process integration comes in.

In this article, we’ll look at what process integration is, how it can help you efficiently manage your processes, and how BPM tools can help you integrate your processes. We’ll also provide examples and cover the exact steps to get started.

This is where business rules come in — a way to automate decision-making and reduce the risk of errors.

Last Updated on November 1, 2021November 30, 2021 by frevvoblog

In a perfect world, every business process would be documented. Employees would have everything they need to do their jobs and would know exactly how to carry out each step.

Using a business process diagram is a good place to start.

In this article, we’ll cover what a business process diagram is, how it can help your company, and how to create one. We’ll also look at using business process automation software to document and automate your processes.

Last Updated on November 1, 2021November 2, 2021 by frevvoblog

Every company strives (or at least should strive) to create efficiency. Operating at a high level of efficiency means you can produce more at lower costs.

One of the best things you can do is to document your processes. Doing so standardizes procedures and ensures that employees perform each step the same way every time.

This article will take an in-depth look at what process flow diagrams are, including how to create them and why you should. We’ll also look at some examples, so you can see how these diagrams look in practice.

Likewise, managers don’t want to spend a ton of time reviewing time off requests or sending them back because some information is missing.

So how can you create a more efficient time off request process?

Keep reading to learn more. In this article, we’ll look at how to optimize your time off request form and how you can automate the approval process to make it easy for everyone to take time off.
