Procurement

Intake & approvals

The Procurement department handles purchase requests and approvals. Origin 137 captures all requests, checks budget and approved vendors, and routes by threshold for traced compliance.

Problem

Purchase requests arrive by email or Slack with no common framework: limited visibility, vendor and budget compliance hard to ensure.

Impact

Shorter approval times, controlled commitments and traced vendor and budget compliance.

Solution

  1. Capture all requests (form, email, Slack) in a single structured queue.
  2. Check automatically budget, approved vendor and contract framework.
  3. Route by risk: simple approval, procurement or security review.
  4. Push decision back to ERP and notify stakeholders with justification.

Control points

  • Centralised budget and vendor rules
  • Validation by threshold and risk
  • Commitment traceability

Indicators

  • Average approval time
  • First-time compliant requests
  • Threshold compliance

Concrete examples
