Purchase orders are one of the key procurement tools for communication with suppliers.

Purchase orders are one of the key procurement tools for communication with suppliers.

Purchase orders often replace contracts and have undeniable advantages – they provide overview, cost control, better planning, and an audit trail. But purchase orders also come with significant limitations: the administration involved in creating the order, lengthy approvals, last-minute changes, factual errors, omission of important commercial terms, and failure to track order confirmations.

💡 And this is exactly where Promitea comes in.

Our cloud-based tool enables, within catalogs as well as individual tenders:

✅ automatic creation, approval, and sending of POs without cover sheets or email chaos,

✅ modification of purchase orders even after issuance, with change tracking in the form of a log,

✅ monitoring the status of order confirmations within the document management system,

✅ easy integration with the existing ERP (i.e. you choose where the order should be created),

✅ simple deployment without the need for complex adjustments.

🎯 The result?

80% less administration, ROI of over 500% already in the first year, and above all – procurement that is no longer seen as a bottleneck because “their purchase orders always take so terribly long.”

👀 Have you already focused on optimizing purchase orders, or are your buyers still spending hours every day creating POs in the system, chasing confirmations, and fixing errors that unfortunately always happen under pressure? Isn’t it time to manage purchase orders truly professionally?

E-procurement: It’s easy when you know how…

Implementing e-procurement doesn’t mean years of work or chaos in your company. With a modern cloud-based solution, you can start seeing the first results within just a few weeks – without any complex IT infrastructure.

Does it make sense to digitalize procurement if we are a small company?

We hear this question often – and we completely understand why. Many companies still rely on emails and Excel spreadsheets. It works, but only until the purchasing agenda starts to grow and a clear spreadsheet turns into chaos.

Do business owners even realize how much the traditional procurement process costs them each year?

Only a few owners and directors have truly deep experience in procurement—and even fewer with modern electronic tools, which are already standard in companies that manage procurement professionally.

Procurement digitalization: memories of a dinosaur

When I look back today, in 2025, I feel a bit like a dinosaur who witnessed the rise of procurement digitalization from the front row, but somehow this incredible tool for improvement actually passed me by.
