Manage purchase requests

Handling requests from your staff for everything from stationery and software to training doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.

Manage them with ease through Turbine

Here’s how it works (in 4 easy steps)

• Employees use a simple online form to log details about their purchase.
• With a single click, their request is sent to their manager for approval.
• If approved, the request gets passed immediately to your administrator to order
• A running total is kept of every request by employee, team and cost code

Why your office will love it

When one of your team needs to buy something, they don’t want to see their request delayed in their manager’s email or buried under paperwork on their desk. After all, they need it to do their job, right?

With Turbine, purchase requests get the attention they deserve. Employees can check on the progress of their request at any time. And as soon as a purchase is approved, an email lets them know straight away. No uncertainty, no delays.

Why managers and admininstrators will love it

Approving every purchase in your company (big and small) can be a time consuming business. Why not use Turbine to set a limit for your team managers or department heads and let them approve their own purchases up to whatever limit you set.

Every request is logged and assigned to a cost centre, giving you an up-to-date picture of what every employee has been allowed to spend. And as soon as a purchase is approved, your administrator is notified automatically along with all the information they need. It’s direct and clear; and with no paperwork. What’s not to like?
