As I sat down to begin this article, thinking about all things ‘automatic’ led me right back to my 80’s pop loving era – namely dancing around my bedroom enthusiastically to songs like Automatic by The Pointer Sisters. Before your time? Before we delve into why you should automate your purchasing system with Sage Intacct, give it a watch (trust me, it’s worth it just for the purple puff-sleeved dress)…
Anyway, I digress. Getting back to the original plan, we’re here to talk about whether an automated PO system could benefit your business.
Now, if you’re 100% happy with the purchasing system your business is using, this might not be the article for you. But, if procurement has your head-in-your-hands thinking there’s ‘no way to control it’ and you’re wishing you could relieve the pressure and say, “it’s much easier now; ‘it’s totally automatic’” being able to automate your procurement system is a dream come true.

The result? A streamlined, faster executed procurement system from start to finish (and welcomed stress relief for Sarah).
