Is a Purchase Order Management Software system right for my construction business?

How does a purchase order management software benefit my company?

Let’s say, you’ve spent hours or even weeks putting together a detailed estimate for your client. You have presented a proposal to your customer and the customer signs it.

How do you communicate what you just sold to your clients with your vendors and employees?

Instead of communicating via phone, builders are creating and sending written purchase orders to them. They’re using purchase orders to:

• Communicate better
• Improve quality control
• Control Cost overruns
• Improve financial reporting

Here are the four steps of a purchase order management system

1. Create purchase orders that basically explains what is expected from the vendor and the price. The more detailed the better
2. Provide the purchase orders to vendors, field employees and accounting so everyone is on the same page
3. Require the field project managers to sign off on the purchase order stating the materials were received and services were completed
4. In accounting match the vendor’s invoice with your purchase order at invoice entry
