Overview

Requests can capture the business need, location, department, value, purpose and supporting evidence. Value, category and policy rules determine who should approve; that person can approve, reject or record an exception with an attributable reason. This structure is useful when delegated authority varies across purchases or locations, though teams seeking only a lightweight sign-off may find the policy-based workflow more than they need.

Material actions retain the actor and timestamp, while corrections add evidence rather than silently changing the record. RAQOZ says it uses Supabase Auth and PostgreSQL, with row-level security on organisation-owned tables and private, organisation-scoped documents. It does not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001 or another compliance certification, so it is not the right fit where such certification is a procurement requirement.

Key features

An authorised request can proceed to RFQ, comparison, award and order without re-entering the approval decision. That continuity is a practical advantage for teams managing the procurement handoff after sign-off. Approval workflows, conditional routing and budget controls are supported. Slack and Teams collaboration connectors are beta, while direct ERP connectors are planned, so organisations needing established connections to those systems should not assume they are ready.

RAQOZ records procurement decisions and payment states; it does not move money or replace an accounting ledger. That boundary makes it a purchasing-control tool, not a complete finance system.

Pricing

The Launch plan is free for one organisation and one location, with up to five active internal users and reasonable monthly fair-use limits. It is a sensible starting point for a small operation, but its location and user caps constrain broader rollouts.

Core costs $49/mo billed annually and covers one legal entity, up to three locations and five procurement or admin users; ordinary requesters and approvers are not billable seats. This keeps seat costs focused on administrators, but the five-user cap may matter for teams that share procurement duties.

Growth costs $149/mo billed annually and adds multiple departments and locations, plus a configurable approval matrix and policy engine. It suits organisations that need more control over how requests are routed. Scale costs $399/mo billed annually and adds multiple legal entities and unlimited ordinary requesters and approvers, with priority support; it is the stronger fit for larger groups, though procurement and admin users remain a distinct seat category in the Core terms.

Enterprise has custom pricing, shown as $12,000 USD per year, for complex multi-company structures, ERP or accounting and custom integrations, and high-volume API use. It also includes premium support and a custom SLA. Buyers should weigh those capabilities against the lack of a published fixed subscription price.

Platforms

RAQOZ Purchase Approvals is available on the web. A web-only deployment is a limitation for teams that require native mobile apps.

Who it's for

Growing businesses replacing message-based approvals, finance and operations teams managing delegated authority, and multi-location groups are the clearest audience. The product is less suitable for organisations that need payment execution, a ledger, certified compliance credentials or ready direct ERP connectors.

Pros and cons

Pros: Configurable rules route requests by value, category and policy, which helps formalise delegated authority.
Pros: Actor and timestamp evidence, including for corrections, supports a durable decision trail.
Pros: Requests can continue into later procurement steps without re-keying the approval decision.
Cons: The product does not process payments or serve as an accounting ledger, so finance teams will need separate systems for those jobs.
Cons: Slack and Teams connectors are beta and direct ERP connectors are planned, limiting its fit for buyers who need those integrations now.
Cons: It makes no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 claim, which rules it out for buyers with those certification requirements.

Verdict

Its clear advantage is preserving the approval decision through later steps; look elsewhere if you need payment handling, a ledger, mobile apps, or certified compliance credentials.
