What is a purchase approval app?
A phone app where managers approve indents and purchase orders away from their desk. It shows what is being bought, from whom, at what rate versus the last purchase, and records who approved it.
The owner as a bottleneck
In many plants every purchase above a small amount needs the owner's approval. Sensible: it is the owner's money. But indents and POs then wait whenever the owner is travelling or at another unit.
The workarounds make it worse. A phone call or a WhatsApp photo of the PO gets the order out, but leaves no record of what was approved, at what rate, or whether quotes were compared.
What slow approvals cost
Production delays. A late approval delays the PO, the delivery and, if the item was urgent, production.
Emergency buying. Late approvals leave no time for competing quotes. The order goes to whoever delivers fastest.
No audit trail. Verbal approvals leave nothing for auditors, partners or the next generation to check.
Everything escalates. If the system cannot tell a ₹2,000 order from a ₹20 lakh one, everything reaches the top.
How IndustryPrime approvals work
Rules you set once
Decide who approves which indents and purchase orders. Multi-level approval lets a department head approve first and the owner last. Amount-based approval routes orders by value.
Everything on one screen, on your phone
The IndustryPrime app for Android and iPhone shows the item, quantity, vendor, rate, the quotes received and whether the rate is above last time. It alerts you the moment a PO needs you.
A record for every rupee
Every approval, rejection and send-back is stored with name and time. With the PO audit report and indent MIS report, any approval can be found months later, without digging through files.
Nothing lost between steps
Open indent visibility and pending PO tracking show what is waiting and where. Store, purchase and owner see the same status.
