A process the business adopts. Fraxion gives procurement managers guided purchasing, approved vendor catalogs, and real-time budget visibility, built into a workflow fast enough for the business to use, and controlled enough for finance to trust. Adoption, spend control, and policy compliance, all at once.

Accountable when controls fail. Procurement managers live between two pressures. Make purchasing fast and easy enough that people actually use the system or the business routes around it by email and informal discussions. Keep it controlled enough that spend stays within policy and on budget, or maverick buying, unauthorized purchasing, and budget overruns follow. Fraxion resolves the tension by making the system the policy. Guided requisitions, approved vendors and catalogs, configurable approval routing, and real-time budget visibility are built into every request — so purchasing is compliant by default. The system is the authorized way to buy. Outcomes ## Adoption, compliance, and savings ### Adoption simplified The system guides employees through the right process, approved vendors, budgets, and policies from the very first field. Purchasing is compliant by default because the workflow is the authorized path, accessible from a browser, mobile app, or directly in Microsoft Teams, wherever work happens. When buying is this straightforward, the business uses the system because it is the easiest way to get a purchase approved. ### Off-policy and maverick spend, prevented Single to multi-level approvals, spending thresholds, budget checks, and vendor controls are configured to your organization’s policies and enforced automatically at the point of every request, before a commitment is even made. Approvals that exceed defined limits are escalated or flagged based on the rules you set. Off-policy spend is prevented before money is committed instead of being identified after the fact. ### Real-time budget visibility Committed spend, actuals, and available budget can be configured for every department, project, or fund. Budget holders see the full impact of a request before they approve it, from any device, so spending decisions are made with accurate, current numbers rather than estimates. Over-budget requests are flagged or escalated automatically based on the rules you set — so budget control is proactive, not a month-end reconciliation exercise. ### A leaner vendor base and better pricing Direct spend to approved vendors through PunchOut catalog integration or internal catalogs with pre-negotiated pricing and terms. Analyze spend by vendor, category, and department to identify consolidation opportunities, strengthen negotiating leverage, and drive more favorable terms. Regular spend analysis gives procurement managers the data to rationalize the vendor base and make supplier decisions based on performance and value. Customers report cost reductions of up to 20% through tighter spend discipline and more strategic vendor management.

Adoption depends on the system being easier to use than the workaround. When purchasing requires navigating a complex system, employees will find faster alternate paths: email, personal notes or cards, and informal approvals. Fraxion makes the authorized process the easiest one. Guided requisitions, approved vendor catalogs, and mobile approvals mean employees submit purchase requests in minutes from a browser, mobile app, or directly in Microsoft Teams, wherever they work. The system is configured to your policies, and the system is the rule. When buying is this straightforward, adoption happens naturally, and when adoption is high, every other procurement outcome and compliance follows. ### How does Fraxion stop maverick and off-policy spend? Fraxion prevents maverick spend by enforcing purchasing controls at the point of every request, before a commitment is made. Employees select from approved vendor lists and catalogs. Quoting policies ensure the best price is captured before approval. Approvers review real-time budget impact at every decision point, and approval workflows escalate automatically based on value, spending limits, and delegation of authority, so the right level of oversight is applied at every step, and spend stays on policy before money is committed. ### How does Fraxion drive spend to preferred suppliers? Fraxion ensures purchasing only happens from approved vendors. Integrated PunchOut vendor storefronts and internally hosted catalogs make compliant buying as straightforward as online shopping, with pre-negotiated pricing and terms already in place. Procurement managers have real-time visibility into spend by vendor, so they can see where preferred suppliers are being used and where consolidation opportunities exist to strengthen negotiating leverage and reduce costs. ## Fraxion gives procurement managers control without the overhead of enforcing it Structure purchasing around approved vendors, configured policies, and automated approval workflows, so the business buys correctly by default, maverick spend is prevented before it happens, and procurement managers spend less time policing and more time driving value.
