Purchase Order Automation

Streamline your purchase orders
with UniFi

The UniFi platform gives you extensive features for limitless use cases. These features enable you drastically improve your Purchase Order process and replace your Purchase Invoice Approval Software.

Not only can UniFi replace your Purchase Order Software, but it can also replace all other 3rd party software. Reducing your need to manage multiple disparate systems and helping reduce your costs. It’s one platform to replace them all.

UniFi offers a next generation purchase order automation App that streamlines your purchase orders and ensures accuracy.  

With minimal or almost zero data entry, you can create purchase orders in seconds and route it through your customised approval process (whether that is the manager’s approval, the budget holder’s approval, or anyone else). 

UniFi allows you to extract the budget from your accounting system (or other budgeting system, or within UniFi itself) so that available budget for the purchase can be checked at the PO entry or approval stage.  

Once the PO is approved and all the checks are positive, UniFi can automatically generate an email to be sent to the supplier to request to purchase the item. 

Add the account details you have with suppliers to UniFi, and it will automatically be added to your PO to suppliers.  

This way, your purchase orders are fully automated, and you don’t have to manually enter data or process a paper purchase order. 

The Purchase Order App in UniFi’s Purchasing Enterprise Suite seamlessly integrates with online platforms to provide real-time stock availability and pricing information, so you don’t need to leave the UniFi platform.

This saves you time as you no longer need to manually search for information and re-key it.

This capability allows for effortless order placement and verification, complete with automated default coding and delivery tracking.

Advanced Capabilities

UniFi Purchasing Enterprise Suite comes with next-gen Procurement Portal which provides real-time visibility into procurement statuses by interfacing directly with supplier platforms. This capability allows you to track orders, monitor shipments, and anticipate deliveries with unprecedented accuracy.

The suite’s Matching and Control capabilities ensure that every transaction is verified and reconciled automatically, reducing errors and saving valuable time.

 

Post-delivery reviews are seamlessly integrated, allowing you to evaluate supplier performance and product quality, and ensure continuous improvement in your supply chain.

For items that meet the threshold for fixed assets, our Asset Onboarding App collects additional details and calculates depreciation, providing a complete financial picture.

The suite also has a Spend Control and Analytics Centre, which provides deep insights into your procurement patterns. This allows you to easily identify cost-saving opportunities and optimise your purchasing strategies.

 

An intuitive Dashboard, serving as the homepage for this suite, ties everything together. It provides at-a-glance views of key performance indicators, with the ability to drill down into transaction details and generate comprehensive reports.

This central hub empowers you to visualise spending trends, forecast future needs, and make data-driven decisions to enhance your procurement efficiency.

Autonomous Processes

Autonomous processes mimic the activities of human users so you can streamline operations, reduce manual tasks, and enhance productivity – all in the background without human input. They are fulfilled by bots that can imitate and perform routine actions that normally take a chunk of your team’s valuable time.

UniFi currently has 8 Autonomous Processes:

UniFi automates transaction creation by monitoring emails, extracting key data from attachments using OCR and AI, and seamlessly progressing transactions through workflows for faster, more efficient processing.

UniFi leverages Machine Learning and Generative AI (powered by ChatGPT) to enhance OCR and Autonomous Data Capture, enabling accurate extraction and interpretation of data from various document types, such as invoices, identity documents, forms, and tables. These AI services ensure seamless form population, with machine learning recognising key fields and generative AI providing contextual understanding for financial and HR-related documents, driving continuous automation improvements.

The Scheduler automates transactions at predefined times with preset fields, ensuring consistency, reducing manual effort, and streamlining routine financial processes.

Connect Hub offers pre-integrated autonomous APIs for UniFi, enabling seamless connections to services like Companies House, eCommerce platforms, and travel booking systems, simplifying processes like KYC, procurement, and automated bookings without technical setup.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA), automates repetitive tasks like invoice matching and automated ordering, enhancing efficiency, consistency, and freeing up time for higher-value work.

Generative AI, extends beyond OCR to automate tasks like invoice coding and document authenticity analysis, streamlining workflows, reducing errors, and enhancing compliance.

Integration bots for each inbound UniFi API connection automate interactions with external systems, enabling seamless transaction updates, data syncing, and real-time workflow automation.

 Webhooks in UniFi enable unauthenticated, one-way data transmission for immediate execution, ideal for non-critical processes like real-time notifications where response verification isn’t required.

The use case, Purchase Ordering , on this page can be turned into and autonomous process and completed by a bot. However, it’s important to note that autonomous processes offer incredible flexibility and can be adapted to any use case you can imagine. The below table showcases some of the current ways users are leveraging bots, but these are just a few examples. The possibilities are virtually limitless and constrained only by your creativity.
