Purchase requests, approvals & orders

Every purchase approved before it’s ordered.

Mittral gives your team one place to ask for what they need. Each request reaches the right approver, at their desk or on their phone, and the supplier gets a professional purchase order as soon as it’s approved.

Free forever for 2 users and 10 purchase orders a month. No card needed. Every plan includes PDF export.

What Mittral looks like

A purchase request in Mittral for Acme Ltd, approved by Sam Patel. Its purchase order, PO-00001, is shown as issued and sent, emailed to the supplier, with Download PO, Send again, Revise PO and Cancel PO buttons.
A request after approval: the request, its purchase order and the email each have their own status. Sample data.

Purchasing shouldn’t live in inboxes.

In most growing businesses, buying things runs on email, chat and memory. It works until it doesn’t.

  • “Can you just order this?”

    Requests arrive by email, chat and in passing, with the quote attached somewhere else and half the details missing.

  • Approvals that wait

    The approver is on site, on leave or buried in their inbox, and the purchase waits with them.

  • Orders typed up by hand

    Someone copies the details into a template, saves a PDF and emails the supplier, one order at a time.

  • Nobody’s sure who said yes

    When the invoice arrives, working out who approved it, and for how much, means searching old threads.

Mittral replaces all of that with one clear path, from “we need it” to “order sent.”

What changes with Mittral

Control spending without slowing anyone down.

Your team asks in one place, the right people decide, and suppliers get a proper order. Everyone can see where every purchase stands.

  1. Spending is agreed before it’s committed

    Approval paths send each request to the right approver for its amount. No PO exists until the final approval, and nobody can approve their own request, admins included.

  2. Approvals keep moving

    Approvers get the lines, totals and quotes in one place, on the web. When someone is away, requests go to the next approver, so nothing waits for them.

  3. Suppliers get a proper order, straight away

    Final approval turns the request into a PO PDF with your company named as the buyer, and emails it to the supplier. On Business and Enterprise it carries your logo and brand colour.

  4. A record of every decision

    Who asked, who approved, when, and what the supplier was sent: it’s all kept with the request, and admins can review the workspace’s activity in the audit log.

  5. Everyone knows where things stand

    Requesters watch their request move from approval to PO to sent, without chasing anyone. Approval, the PO and its email each have their own status.

  6. Room to grow, without surprise bills

    Start free and upgrade when you need more room. There are no automatic overage charges, and reaching a limit never blocks an approval.

Mobile app with offline mode Coming soon

Purchasing that works wherever your team does.

On site, in the warehouse, on the road or in a basement with no signal. The Mittral app for iPhone and Android is on its way, to keep requests and approvals moving, online or off.

  • You’ll raise requests with photos of what you need, and approve or reject them, all without a connection.
  • Everything you do offline will wait safely on your phone and sync when you’re back online. Nothing will be dropped silently.
  • No PO will be created or emailed until an approval reaches Mittral, and every offline action will be checked again when it arrives.
  • It will be included on every plan, Free too.

Until then, Mittral works in the browser on your phone.

A clear path from “we need it” to “order sent.”

Each step hands over to the next, and you can always see where a request stands.

  1. Request it

    Put purchase details and supporting quotes together in one place.

    Choose the supplier, add the lines and attach quotes or photos. Save a draft, then submit it for approval.

  2. Approve it

    Route requests through your company’s approval process.

    Approval paths send each request to the right approver for its amount. Approvers see the lines, totals and quotes, then approve or reject with a reason.

  3. Send it

    Turn approved requests into branded purchase orders (POs) emailed to suppliers.

    After the final approval, Mittral creates the PO as a PDF, with your company named as the buyer, and emails it to the supplier.

Request. Approve. Send.

Approved isn’t the same as sent. Mittral shows a request’s approval, its PO and the PO’s email delivery as separate statuses. “Sent” means the email left Mittral. It doesn’t mean the supplier has read or accepted the order.

Set up in your browser. No IT project.

Create a workspace, invite your team and raise your first request the same day. Nothing to install or connect first.

  • Set it up yourself

    A short setup guide takes you through your company details, currency and tax, your team, who approves what, and your suppliers. No sales call needed.

  • Bring your supplier list

    Import suppliers and your other lists from a CSV file, or add them as you go.

  • Works without an accounting system

    Mittral handles the whole path on its own. On Starter, Growth, Business and Enterprise, CSV export and webhooks pass your POs to the systems you already use.

  • Quotes stay where they belong

    Attach quotes and photos to a request. You choose which files go to the supplier with the PO; the rest stay internal.

  • Your brand on Business and Enterprise

    On Business and Enterprise, POs and supplier emails carry your logo and brand colour. On Free, Starter and Growth they use Mittral’s template, with your company named as the buyer.

  • Send from your own email

    On Business and Enterprise, POs can go to suppliers from your own Microsoft 365 or email server, so replies come straight to you.

Questions

Is the Free plan really free?

Yes. Free is free forever, with no time limit: 2 users, 10 purchase orders a month and 1 GB of storage, with the full request, approval and PO workflow. You don’t need a card to start.

Do we need an accounting system?

No. Mittral works without an accounting-system connection. POs are created as PDFs, emailed to your suppliers and kept in Mittral, where you can download them at any time.

Do our suppliers need an account?

No. Suppliers get the purchase order by email as a PDF, with your company named as the buyer and a contact for the order. There’s nothing for them to sign up to.

Is there a mobile app?

It’s coming soon. The Mittral app for iPhone and Android will be included on every plan, Free too, and will let you raise, approve and reject requests without a connection. Until then, Mittral works in the browser on your phone.

What happens when we reach our monthly PO limit?

Approvals are never blocked. If a request is approved after this month’s allowance is used up, its PO is put on hold: not issued, not sent and not counted.

Held POs are issued in approval order when the allowance resets at the start of the next month (in your workspace’s time zone), or as soon as you upgrade. A PO that has been on hold for 30 days needs approving again.

What happens when storage is full?

Only new uploads stop. Requests, approvals, POs and supplier emails keep working, and nothing is deleted. Storage counts everything the workspace keeps: attachments, photos, logos, previews and PO PDFs.

Who is the buyer on the purchase order?

Your company, always. The PO and the supplier email name your company as the buyer, with your details. On Free, Starter and Growth they use Mittral’s template with a small “Powered by Mittral” line; on Business and Enterprise they carry your logo and brand colour instead.

Can someone approve their own request?

No. Nobody can approve a request they raised, admins included. Requests from people without an approval path follow your workspace’s default rule. How approvals work.

Can we change plans later?

Yes, from Settings → Billing. An upgrade is charged the difference for the rest of the billing period and applies once that payment goes through. A downgrade or cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you’ve paid for.

Moving to Free never deletes anything: your requests, POs and files stay, and Free’s limits apply to new activity.

Which currency do we pay in?

Prices are set in US dollars. Where Stripe supports it, checkout can show and charge the price in your own currency at Stripe’s exchange rate, which includes a conversion fee. You can choose to pay in US dollars instead. More billing questions.

Keep purchasing moving.

Picture next month: requests arrive complete, approvals happen wherever your approvers are, and every supplier gets a proper PO as soon as you say yes. Start free today, with no card and no sales call.
