Not every purchase request is straightforward, and that’s okay. With ControlHub, you can quickly approve, deny, or pass the request to the right person on your team for a second look.
Whether it’s a project-specific expense or something outside your expertise, delegation keeps the process moving without creating bottlenecks. The result? Faster decisions, better accountability, and less stress.
When one quote isn’t enough to make a confident decision, you can easily ask for more. Comparing prices and terms from different vendors not only helps you secure the best possible deal but also gives you leverage in negotiations, reduces the risk of overspending, and ensures you’re partnering with suppliers who truly fit your needs.
All of this happens within the same streamlined process, so you save money without slowing down approvals.
If details are missing, decisions get delayed. That’s why the approval flow makes it easy to raise questions directly within the request. Add comments, request clarifications, and capture extra information right where it belongs.
This keeps conversations in one place, ensures every purchase has the right context, and helps your team move forward with clarity and confidence.
No more guessing where the money went. With instant visibility into your budget, you can see exactly how much has been spent before approving new requests.
Track usage across projects, departments, or locations in one clear view, spot potential overspending early, and make sure funds are directed to the right priorities. Your company will benefit from greater control, accountability, and confidence in every approval decision.
I like ControlHub's customer service, the checkout feature. It makes purchases smooth and quick. NetSuite sync keeps things aligned. Customer service is responsive with answers. It’s a great tool.

Read more in G2A smart way to manage spending by routing purchase requests through structured approval workflows, so your team spends within policy, not beyond it.
Employees submit a request; it automatically routes to the right approver based on your rules (budget, department, project, location); the request is approved, denied, or flagged for clarification; if approved, a purchase order is created, payment is processed, and everything is tracked for audit purposes.
Absolutely. Comments, in-context questions, and quote requests keep conversations tied to requests, not buried in emails, so everyone stays aligned and moves faster.
You’ll see real-time budget usage before approving requests, plus auto-generated expense charts for full transparency on your spending.
Every action is recorded. That builds accountability, simplifies compliance, and simplifying audits.
Yes. Set up templates, conditional routing (by amount, department, vendor, etc.), self-approval limits for small buys, and custom fields to capture nuance or remove friction.
Approvers can evaluate requests against budgets, policy, and quotes—all within the workflow, so every green light is backed by data.
Once goods or services are delivered, AP matches the invoice to the approved purchase order and delivery receipt, then processes payment—closing the loop cleanly and efficiently.
A requisition is a request raised by an employee. Approval is the decision phase, through a defined workflow, where the request is greenlit, adjusted, or rejected.
Yes, you can sync with most ERPs and accounting systems for easy purchase-to-pay workflows and accurate financial tracking.
