Purchase approvals
Staff ask to restock or buy something; nothing is spent until you approve it.
Free to try with sample data. Sign in with your email and it's added to your workspace, ready to change. Matrixcape Build is in private beta.
The work it's for
Staff request reorders and purchases; the owner approves or rejects with a reason; approved orders are marked received. Used by staff and the owner.
- Make sure nothing is bought until it's approved
- See what was requested, approved and received
- Keep a record of what each vendor costs
Try it. It's working software.
The real app with sample data, shown for a gift shop. Switch roles (Owner, Staff, Owner) to see what each person sees. Nothing you do here is saved.
What it does today
Only what the app does right now. It works in any phone's browser, and every version is saved.
- Staff ask to reorder stock or buy supplies, with the vendor and the total.
- The owner approves, or rejects with a reason.
- Approved orders are marked received when they arrive.
- A view for each person: Staff and Owner each see the screens and steps meant for them.
- Purchase orders move through clear steps: Requested → Approved → Rejected → Received.
- Some steps ask for a reason (like sending a purchase order back), and the reason stays on the record.
- People who should only see their own purchase orders only see their own.
Make it yours.
Every template starts clean. After you customize it, change the look in Design or just ask: your colors and logo, fonts, corners, how compact it is, a board or a calendar, light or dark.
Change how it works, not just how it looks.
The steps, who approves what, the rules, the reminders and the emails it sends are yours to change. Say it the way you'd tell someone on your team. You see each change before your team does, and your team keeps using the live version until you publish.
Changes you can ask for
- “Staff can approve their own orders up to $100; bigger ones come to me”
- “Email the person who asked when their order is approved or rejected”
- “Add a department total for this month”
- “Email me every Monday with orders still waiting for approval”
One app in your Matrixcape workspace, not a separate subscription.
Start with one problem. Build the rest when you need it: every app you add lives in the same workspace, with one sign-in for your team. The same app works for restaurants, schools, small manufacturers too.
Customize this uses no build credits.
