The IT / systems reality

Most procurement tools were built for a different era of IT.

On-prem assumptions, fragile integrations, opaque data models — IT inherits the problem the moment the contract is signed.

🔌

Integration is fragile

CSV exports, FTP drops, ten-year-old connector code. Every upgrade is a manual project, and every outage lands on IT.

🔐

Auth is a special case

Local accounts, password emails, no SSO — or worse, SSO that mostly works. IT spends the year unbreaking it.

📦

Data lives in the vendor

You signed a five-year contract and your data is in the vendor's schema. Getting it out for analysis or migration is a project all of its own.

🚧

Rollouts take forever

On-prem installs, region-by-region migrations, per-site training. IT carries the timeline, ops takes the credit.

What PurchaseFlow brings to IT

A platform you'd choose to inherit.

CL

Cloud-native, single tenant

AWS UK region, multi-AZ, automatic backups, automatic upgrades. No infrastructure on your side.

AP

Open API everywhere

Every action available via REST. Webhooks for events. OpenAPI spec for everything. Build what you want.

AU

SSO, SAML & SCIM

Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, Ping — all supported. SCIM for user provisioning. MFA enforced where you need it.

SE

Security-first

Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 in progress, GDPR-aligned. Pen-tested annually, audit logs retained for years.

EX

Your data is yours

Full export to flat files at any time, in your schema if you want. Bring-your-own-cloud option for enterprise.

OP

Predictable operating model

Roadmap published quarterly. Status page live. Customer success aligned to your fiscal year, not theirs.

What every IT lead asks

Real answers, not marketing.

Q

Can we control data residency?

Yes. UK by default. EU and US regions available for multi-region customers. Bring-your-own-cloud for enterprise.

Q

How are upgrades handled?

Continuous deployment with feature flags. You opt into new functionality at your own pace. No big-bang upgrades, no Saturday nights.

Q

What about audit and compliance?

Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 in progress, GDPR-aligned, SOC2 in progress. Audit logs, security packs and DPIA templates all available.

Q

How long is implementation?

Typical mid-market implementation is 6–10 weeks end-to-end, including connector setup, SSO configuration and pilot-site rollout.
