Core platform

The PurchaseFlow operating layer for purchasing, finance and site teams.

Eight tightly-integrated capabilities across the full buying lifecycle — buying, receiving, stock, expenses, payment and reporting — replacing the spreadsheets, inboxes and point tools that currently sit between them.

Deep platform intelligence

The PurchaseFlow intelligence layer that makes the operating platform compound.

Once purchasing, stock, expenses, invoices and income sit together, PurchaseFlow can find patterns that single-purpose tools miss: bad prices, duplicate invoices, supplier drift, waste, margin pressure and carbon impact.

● Invoice Intelligence

Every invoice. Every check. Every time.

Field verification, 3-way matching, fraud detection, duplicate detection, calculation check. Five AI checks before a single invoice gets near your accounts team.

  • Catches the 1-in-8 invoices that arrive with errors
  • Drafts credit notes automatically — before payment
  • Fraud rules tuned for non-PO invoices (weekend dates, sub-threshold amounts, anomalous patterns)
  • Optional LLM risk scoring on flagged items

● Procurement Intelligence

See every pound. By supplier, category, site.

Automatic UNSPSC classification turns messy procurement data into a spend map you can actually act on — tail spend, anomalies, consolidation opportunities.

  • AI classification of every line item against UN standard codes
  • Tail spend identification — find the low-value, high-frequency leak
  • Anomaly detection on prices, suppliers, and patterns
  • Supplier consolidation suggestions in the same UNSPSC category
Explore procurement intelligence →
● Carbon Tracking

Scope 1–3 emissions on every product, every order.

Product-level carbon attribution using DEFRA 2025 factors. Nothing competitors offer comes close — they report on suppliers, we report on what you actually bought.

  • CO₂e per line item, automatically calculated
  • DEFRA 2025 compliant; SECR and CSRD ready
  • Site-, supplier-, and category-level rollups
  • Audit-ready exports for sustainability reporting

Scope 3 · 70-80% of corporate emissions
Scope 3 is mostly guesswork.
Until your invoices count it for you. The Agent attributes carbon to every product, every supplier, every order — line by line.

The operating loop

Order. Receive. Expense. Stock. Match. Report. One platform, every step.

Errors compound across disconnected systems. PurchaseFlow ties the loop so a mistake at receipt, stock count, expense claim or supplier invoice cannot quietly become month-end noise.

01
ORDER

Multi-supplier baskets, budgets enforced

Operations order across every supplier in one basket. Budgets are checked at request, not after the fact.

02
RECEIVE

Delivery verified, against the order

GRN captured on-site, in real time. Short deliveries and substitutions flagged before they hit invoice.

03
EXPENSE

Claims and mileage routed cleanly

Staff expenses, email receipts and mileage claims follow the same approval and finance controls.

04
STOCK

Inventory reflects what happened

Counts, stock values and predictive ordering connect purchasing to actual usage and site demand.

05
MATCH

3-way match + AI checks

Invoice matched against PO and GRN. Five AI checks run automatically. Discrepancies drafted as credit notes.

06
REPORT

Finance, performance and carbon in view

Spend, supplier performance, variance, exceptions and carbon roll up into reporting finance can trust.

Core industry sections

Built around the sectors where purchasing, stock and compliance meet real operations.

Each industry section should lead with its own operating pain: fast-moving food stock, decentralised education spend, job-based construction buying, healthcare audit trails and multi-site service delivery.

FOOD SERVICE

Hospitality, restaurants, catering, pubs

Eight suppliers before 10am. Deliveries arrive mid-service. Stock, recipes, allergens, waste, menu margin and supplier invoices all need to agree.

Case study: Premier League football club — 19% reduction in catering procurement spend in year one
Explore food service →
EDUCATION

MATs, colleges, universities

Decentralised buying across campuses and schools. Tight budgets, catering compliance, supplier frameworks and audit requirements without removing local autonomy.

Case study: Leading UK multi-academy trust — standardised catering and procurement across 30+ schools
Explore education →
CONSTRUCTION

Contractors, fit-out, building services

Materials ordered against jobs and sites. Price volatility, short deliveries, supplier substitutions, approvals and invoice disputes handled before they hit finance.

Case study: Mid-market UK building contractor — live cost-to-complete across every project, reconciliation cut from days to hours
Explore construction →
HEALTHCARE

Care homes, clinics, multi-site providers

Consumables, PPE, food, cleaning and medical supplies with CQC-grade audit trails across every site, every order and every approval.

Case study: Multi-site UK care group — 4 hours/week recovered per home, CQC evidence built in
Explore healthcare →
FACILITIES

FM, cleaning, maintenance, managed services

Site-based teams buying consumables, uniforms, equipment and services need fast ordering, budget control, stock visibility and supplier accountability.

Case study: Major UK local authority — one source of truth for procurement evidence across departments and services
Explore facilities →
RETAIL & MULTI-SITE

Retail, leisure, venues, franchises

Branches need autonomy to move quickly while head office needs consistent suppliers, live spend, stock controls, POS income and margin reporting.

Case study: Scaling UK food & beverage retailer — 4.1% off cost-of-goods in year one, 94% on-catalogue spend
Explore retail & multi-site →
By role

Built for the whole buying committee.

Procurement spans roles. The platform speaks each language — and lets each role find themselves on the site within seconds.

Why PurchaseFlow

The category isn't spend management. It's the operating loop around every purchase.

Most tools handle one slice: cards, requisitions, invoices, expenses or stock. PurchaseFlow connects ordering, delivery, expenses, inventory, income, finance and analysis — with AI running through all of it.
