What is purchase order automation?

Corpay's purchase order automation software digitizes the procurement process, enforcing budget limits and approval workflows before a purchase is made. It replaces manual paper forms with automated routing to keep every order on-policy.

Automate your POs

Stop maverick buying and duplicate orders before they drain your budget.

Budget checks, preferred vendor controls, and 3-way matching catch unnecessary spending at the source. No more off-contract purchases or costly rework.

Get purchase orders approved and sent in minutes instead of days.

Auto-routing sends requests to the right approver instantly. Pre-filled templates eliminate manual entry and endless email chains.

Stop unauthorized purchases and rogue vendors before orders go through.

Approval rules and spending limits enforce policy automatically. Complete audit trails make fraud harder and compliance easier.
