RAQOZ Purchase Approvals

RAQOZ Purchase Approvals is a web-based workflow for capturing purchase requests and routing them through organisational approval rules. It suits growing businesses and finance or operations teams that need accountable decisions across locations. Its strongest case is connecting approvals to later procurement steps without re-entering the decision.

Overview

Requests can capture the need, location, department, value, purpose and supporting evidence. Configured value, category and policy rules route each request to a responsible approver, who can approve, reject or record a controlled exception with an attributable reason. That structure is more disciplined than email or messaging approvals, particularly when delegated authority varies by purchase.

Material actions retain actor and timestamp evidence; corrections add evidence rather than silently changing the history. RAQOZ says it uses Supabase Auth and PostgreSQL, with forced row-level security on organisation-owned tables and private, organisation-scoped documents. It does not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001 or another unverified compliance certification, so organisations with a certification requirement should look elsewhere.

Key features

The practical advantage is continuity: an authorised request can proceed to RFQ, comparison, award and order without re-keying the approval decision. Approval workflows, conditional routing and budget controls are supported. Slack and Teams collaboration connectors are beta, while direct ERP connectors are planned; teams that need a live ERP connection should account for that boundary before choosing RAQOZ.

RAQOZ records procurement decisions and payment states, but does not move money or replace an accounting ledger. Accounting integrations are supported, though direct ERP connectors remain planned. This makes it a purchasing-control layer, not a complete finance system.

Pricing

Launch is free for one organisation and one location, up to five active internal users, with reasonable monthly fair-use limits. It is a useful starting point for a small team, but its organisation and location cap is restrictive for distributed operations.

Core is billed at $49/mo annually and covers one legal entity and up to three locations, with five procurement/admin users; ordinary requesters and approvers are not billable seats. Growth is billed at $149/mo and adds multiple departments and locations plus a configurable approval matrix and policy engine. Scale is billed at $399/mo and adds multiple legal entities and unlimited ordinary requesters and approvers; it also lists priority support. The published plans identify Scale as the step up for larger structures, while Enterprise lists custom pricing, complex multi-company structures, ERP/accounting and custom integrations, high-volume API, premium support and a custom SLA. Enterprise is the relevant tier when those needs outweigh the lower plans' defined scope.

Platforms

RAQOZ Purchase Approvals is available on the web. Teams requiring a native mobile app should consider a platform that offers one.

Who it's for

RAQOZ is aimed at growing businesses replacing email and WhatsApp approvals, finance and operations teams managing delegated authority, and multi-location groups. Launch may fit a small operation; Growth and Scale are better aligned with expanding locations, departments or legal entities. It is not the right standalone choice for organisations that need payment execution or an accounting ledger in the same product.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Rule-based routing and attributable exception decisions provide a clearer approval trail than informal requests.
• Pros: Approved decisions can continue into RFQ, comparison, award and order without re-keying.
• Pros: Core does not bill ordinary requesters and approvers as seats, which can suit broad participation.
• Cons: The free plan is capped at one organisation and one location, limiting its usefulness for multi-site teams.
• Cons: Slack and Teams connectors are beta and direct ERP connectors are planned, so teams needing established direct connections may need another fit.
• Cons: It records payment states but does not execute payments or replace accounting software.

Verdict

Choose RAQOZ Purchase Approvals if your growing team needs policy-based approvals with accountable records that can carry into procurement. Its main trade-offs are a web-only platform, beta collaboration connectors and no payment execution or accounting ledger; teams dependent on those capabilities should look elsewhere.
