01 ·How it works

How a purchase goes through Intakt

A request raised in plain English, suppliers found, a better price negotiated, the PO raised and the saving reported. Watch it in 80 seconds, then see each part.

  1. Anyone can raise a request

    Say what you need in plain English. Intakt asks the right questions, so the request arrives complete without anyone learning procurement.

    • A few words is enough to start
    • The category is filled in from what you are buying
    • Not sure of the cost? The first quote sets it
    The new request form with a title and description filled in, the category chosen automatically and the target cost left as "I don't know yet".
  2. The right suppliers, found for you

    Intakt suggests suppliers that fit and guides the sourcing event, from strategy and questionnaire to scored replies and award. Suppliers reply from a link with no login.

    • Invite several suppliers in one go
    • Each gets a private link and needs no account
    • They never see your budget or each other's prices
    Asking three suppliers to quote at once, each with their contact email and a reply-by date.
  3. Help getting a great deal

    Compare offers side by side, put your finalists head to head in a best-and-final round, and see what you saved.

    • A recommended offer, with the reasons
    • What you have already negotiated off
    • Your next best move, one click to ask
    Intakt's pick of five offers with the reasons, the amount negotiated so far, where each offer sits against the target cost, and the next best move.
  4. A page for each supplier

    Spend, contracts, documents and scorecards for each supplier, together.

    • The next thing to do with them, first
    • Risk check, compliance, scorecard and next review in one card
    • Contracts, POs, orders and invoices grouped by deal, one tab away
    A supplier page that opens on the task waiting on you, then annual contract value, active contracts and the next compliance expiry, spend by month, and a health card with the risk check, compliance, scorecard and next review.
  5. Purchase orders made easy

    Turn the winning offer into a PO in one step, checked against budget, even if your team has never used POs. Then see what has been ordered, invoiced and paid against it.

    • Approved, ordered, invoiced and left to order, at a glance
    • Invoices that quote the PO number are matched to it
    • Sent to the supplier from Intakt
    A purchase order for annual facilities services: the amount approved, ordered so far, invoiced so far and left to order, with a bar showing how much has been invoiced and paid.

02 ·Your rules

Set your rules once and every request follows them

Build your stages, request forms and approval rules without writing code. Requests follow them automatically, so steps don’t get skipped and approvals don’t need chasing.

  • Workflows

    Your process, run the same way every time

    Lay out the stages a request goes through before it is ordered. Intakt moves each request along, asks the right person at each step and skips anything that does not apply.

    • Stages and steps you can rearrange, no code
    • Conditions skip what a request does not need
    • Publish a change and running requests keep their version
    A process with four stages: intake, contracting, a purchase order raised only above the threshold, and ordering.
  • Forms

    Ask for exactly what your team needs to know

    Decide the questions each kind of request asks, what type of answer each takes, which are required and what help the requester sees.

    • Text, money, dates, yes or no, pick lists and more
    • Required where it matters, optional everywhere else
    • Help text in your own words
    The intake form editor with questions for category, quantity, unit, target cost and needed-by date, each with a type, a required switch and help text.
  • Approvals

    Approvals that follow your rules

    Set conditions for what needs approval and who approves it, in order. Intakt routes each request to the right people and holds it until they decide.

    • Conditions on the amount or any other field
    • Approvers by name, role, budget owner or department head
    • Deadlines on every step, so nothing sits waiting
    How approvals flow for purchase orders: 10,000 or more goes to the department head and then the financial controller, everything else to the department head alone.

03 ·Negotiation

First price, great price.

Intakt’s price is published and the same for everyone. Your suppliers’ first quotes usually have room in them, so Intakt lines them up side by side, runs another round and shows you where to push.

04 ·Proof

Savings measured against real quotes

Intakt compares what you paid with each supplier’s first-round price, so every saving is on record. The value report shows what you saved, how much spend ran under contract and on a PO, and the return on what Intakt costs.

  • Savings against first-round prices, order by order
  • Your return on the subscription, worked out for you
  • Print it or save it as a PDF for the board
The value report for the last 90 days: saved 12% off first-round prices, spend managed, the return on the subscription and the median days to order, with spend coverage and a PDF export.

07 ·Questions

What people ask before they start

Do we need a procurement team to use it?
No. Intakt is for companies moving from everyone buying their own way to one shared way of buying. Your rules do the chasing a central team would do.
How long does it take to get going?
There is no rollout project. Sign up, invite your team and set your stages, forms and approval rules yourself, without code. You can change them at any time.
Who needs a paid seat?
Only the people who buy: procurement, finance and anyone who runs sourcing or manages suppliers. Requesters, approvers and viewers are free, however many there are.
Are we tied into a contract?
Monthly plans run month to month. You can download all your data and close your account yourself at any time. Enterprise is a yearly contract.
Where is our data kept?
In London. Each account is kept apart by the database itself, and your data is never used to train AI models. How we protect it.
What happens after the trial?
The trial gives you everything in Growth for 30 days, with no card needed. After that your account becomes read-only until you choose a plan, so nothing is lost.
