Materials procurement involves receiving requests from project teams, soliciting quotes from multiple suppliers, and managing approvals before creating purchase orders.
Automation captures material requests, queries supplier systems for live quotes, compiles them into a structured summary, routes approvals to decision-makers, and generates purchase orders automatically. The result is faster procurement cycles, fewer errors, and reduced administrative overhead.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A material request arrives via email or form submission.
Request is automatically added to the Google Sheet with timestamp and project code.
Automation queries supplier APIs or sends templated quote requests to pre-configured suppliers and logs responses.
Quotes are compiled into a summary and sent to the project manager and finance manager via email with a one-click approval link.
Once approved, the automation creates a purchase order with supplier details and line items, no manual re-entry.
The PO is automatically sent to the supplier via email as a PDF.
A message is sent to the project manager confirming the order and providing the PO number.
