Matterial for procurement
From requisition to purchase order, with deliveries and costs under control.
Procurement is where the budget turns into real spend. Matterial takes site requisitions, turns them into purchase orders for your suppliers, tracks every delivery and cross-checks what you bought against actual material consumption. That way you see whether a supplier's cost is running over budget before the margin disappears.

The day-to-day of procurement today
Requisitions come in over WhatsApp, purchase orders live in a spreadsheet and nobody checks deliveries against what was ordered. By the time you finally reconcile invoices against the budget, the overrun is already paid and there's no one left to bill it back to.

Frequently asked questions
How do I go from a requisition to a purchase order?
The requisition the site engineer raises in the field becomes a purchase order in one click: you keep quantities, line items and prices without capturing them again.
Can I compare prices across suppliers?
Yes. Each supplier keeps its own price history, so you see the comparison before deciding who to buy each material from.
How do I know if a purchase is running over budget?
Every order is cross-checked against its budget line in real time, and it alerts you when what you bought exceeds what was budgeted.
Can I verify deliveries against what I ordered?
Yes. You mark what was received against what was ordered to catch shortfalls or partial deliveries before authorizing payment of the invoice.
