Purchase Order Software for Sports & Leisure Questions and Answers

Why is a cloud-based system beneficial to our organisation?

Having a cloud-based system ensures that it is accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world. As long as you have a device with an internet connection, you will be able to access your system and control your procurement process.

What kind of information is found on a purchase order?

The purchase order contains key information regarding the required goods and services such as; product name/code, cost, quantity, requested delivery date and any special instructions. This information is key to ensuring that you receive the required goods and delivered correctly to site instructions.

How can a PO system help our sports & leisure facility?

Whether you are golf club, football club, hotel, restaurant or any other leisure facility, we understand that you will naturally need to procure a wide variety of goods and services. Our system will ensure that you have full control over the procurement process with multiple levels of approval available, budgeting controls, goods receipting facilities and extensive reporting functionality.

We operate a chain of hotels and facilities which need to be separated on the system, can this be accommodated?

You can set up multiple branches, departments or even companies within the system, this will allow you to separate your hotels or facilities and their respective purchasing records.

How does the purchase order management process work for a sports & leisure organisation?

Purchase order management is the way of ensuring  all goods or services procured by your organisation are checked and approved. Purchase order raisers (i.e. kitchen staff, maintenance staff and events managers) can create purchase orders and submit them for approval along with supporting documents such as quotations. Approvers then have the ability to either approve the purchase order or challenge it due to price or justification. This ensures that any goods or services are fully approved before purchase.

Can the purchase order system be used in tandem with our existing accounting software?

Yes, data can be exported in various formats that are compatible with your existing accounting software, ensuring that you have end-to-end control over your procurement process. We can also provide API links for automatic integration via our bespoke development services.

Will the system help me keep track of incoming goods?

The system has goods receipting functionality which allows you to receive incoming goods against issued purchase orders. This allows you to ensure that any missing or damaged items are noted and can be followed up with the supplier.

Is it easy to add or remove users from the system?

Admin users have the ability to create new user accounts when new staff are hired and remove accounts in the event of a staff member leaving the organisation. They can then set the specific roles and permissions for the new user to ensure that they use the system as intended.

Is training available for new users?

Each system comes with a video showing each function in depth, these videos are created on a system-by-system basis to ensure that any specially customised features are demonstrated. This video can then be used to show new users how to use the system.

Can I set up multiple level approval workflows?

Yes, the system supports multiple level approval. You can set various approval rules to ensure that purchase orders are relayed through multiple levels of approval before being automatically issued to the supplier. You can also set parameters to ensure that rules only apply to purchase orders over a specified value. Approval rules can be set-up to route approvals to individual specific users or groups of users (e.g. Board /Director level).

Can the system be customised to better suit our specific needs?

All of our systems are business fit and tailored for your specific business requirements to ensure that your organisation gets the best out of the system. We would hold a specification meeting in which we discuss your specific requirements in depth and ensure that the customisations are implemented effectively for your business.

Is our data secure?

All of our client systems are hosted on our Azure private cloud with data and connection level encryption. Our cloud based services operate to high data security standards and Azure data center accreditations with robust threat detection and monitoring, and are kept up-to-date with zero-day security updates.

What do I do if I encounter an issue whilst using the system?

We have a UK-based technical support team who will be able to assist with any queries or issues. Each system has up to 3 designated power users with access to our support portal where tickets can be raised with our UK support team.

Does the system require any on-site setup?

No, the system is cloud-based, therefore no onsite IT setup is required. This allows you to begin using the system with no disruption.
