  • Review and approve time cards and expense reports online.
Requisition Management for Microsoft Business Portal

  • Empower employees to enter requisitions online.
  • Set up a user-friendly approval hierarchy.
  • Enable employees to complete common procurement tasks quickly.
Electronic Document Delivery for Microsoft Business Portal

  • Send the right documents to the right customers.
  • Choose formats that work for you and your customers.
