The Problem

Purchase requests happen over email and Slack. Approval chains break. Rogue spending goes unchecked. Finance discovers unexpected invoices months after purchase. Average PO cycle: 2–3 weeks.

Why Now?

Remote work made paper-based procurement impossible. CFOs demand real-time spend visibility. AI can auto-categorize and route requests. Compliance requirements demand audit trails.
