Purchase Request Automation
Whether it is a box of markers or medical supplies for the nursing floor, every hospital has a request and approval process to get the necessary supplies from Materials Management. Oftentimes this is a paper form that gets filled out in triplicate and routed via internal mail – slowly crawling its way through the process.
Purchase Requisition automated workflows greatly accelerate this process and add a level of accountability that otherwise could not be achieved.
