What Approvol is
Approvol is a cloud-based budgeting and purchasing solution for procurement-to-payment processes. Its web workflow covers budgets, requests, approvals, purchasing, receiving, invoicing, payments, and analytics. Users can create purchase requests in three steps or clone an order, choose catalogue or custom items, and attach documents. Requests and purchase orders remain amendable, with version control and an audit log recording actions and decisions. While raising an order, users can see budget limits, purchase order values, and remaining balances, and the system can flag over-budgeting. Dashboards show budget and purchasing performance, while real-time reports track budget items and purchase order lifecycle quantities. Approvol exchanges data with other packages, importing users, suppliers, standard items, and general ledger codes, and exporting orders, invoices, budgets, dashboards, and reports. The UK company, founded in 2019, targets small and medium-sized enterprises. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial. Each account includes 4 GB of storage.
