Use cases

Automate purchase requests

Spend control almost always breaks at the same point: the rules exist, but they live in a policy document nobody reads at the moment of ordering. InProcess writes them into the flow itself — an amount threshold automatically adds another approver.

What goes wrong today

  • Requests arrive with no justification and no budget attached.
  • Delegation rules depend on the amount, and nobody remembers them.
  • Off-process commitments are discovered at invoicing.
  • Approval times are not measured, so requesters work around the process.

The process you get

  1. 1

    The requester submits

    Item, amount, intended supplier, budget line and justification. No key field can be left empty.

  2. 2

    Approval adapts to the amount

    Below the threshold, the manager is enough. Above it, the request also goes to finance. The rule lives in the process, not in a memo.

  3. 3

    Procurement orders

    Once approved, the request reaches procurement with all supporting documents, ready to commit.

  4. 4

    The requester follows along

    They can see the current status without chasing anyone.

What changes

  • Delegation rules apply themselves, without depending on anyone's vigilance.
  • Every commitment is justified and attached to a budget before it is made.
  • Approval times become visible, so the process stops being bypassed.
  • Pending spend is visible in real time.
