With Raley PO, you can automate your purchase order and approval process quickly, saving your company money and time, with the software you already know and love.
Why Jira or JSM for Procurement?
Jira and Jira Service Management are great tools to not only support your ITSM processes but also to run procurement in your organization. In fact, Jira can be a great match for procurement.
The Jira platform is trusted by more than 100,000 organizations worldwide, including giants like NASA and Tesla. While new software can be a gamble, Jira is familiar. You already know and trust it to support your IT processes.
Choosing to automate your procurement process with Jira is also smart and cost effective. A recent study by the American Productivity & Quality Center (APQC) discovered that a manual purchase order process can cost as much as $506.52 per purchase order, due to delays, errors and other inefficiencies.
Yet best of all, it's simple to take your operations to the next level and start managing your procurement process in Jira. All it takes is Raley PO app.
Why Raley PO for managing your orders?
Raley Purchase Orders is a simple yet powerful purchasing app that lives on top of your Jira setup. It allows you to save money and time by automating your procurement process using your existing Jira software. Here's how it works:
Your Jira or JSM users can create a purchase order request as a Jira ticket from the convenience of the JSM portal.
The purchase order ticket is submitted for approval to your organization's designated purchase order approver(s).
The approvers are notified by email when their say is needed, improving oversight of purchases and speeding up the approval process.
Approvers are able to approve or reject each individual purchase order right from their email.
Approved requests generate a PDF file of the purchase order, attaches it to your Jira ticket and can send a copy to your designated vendor.
Raley PO purchase orders follow your Jira project workflow, making them fully customizable to your organization's needs.
Your organization's finance department and approval managers can easily view the current status of your organization's procurement budgets from the convenience of Jira.
Powerful reporting tools let you monitor the status of your purchase orders across departments, budgets and suppliers.
