What small businesses actually need
Most teams under 50 people do not need approval workflows, budget holds, or three-way matching. They need a fast way to produce a professional-looking PO, a consistent PO number scheme, and a PDF that vendors recognize. That is exactly what this tool provides — the same document an ERP would print, without the ERP price tag.
Where we stop (and where ERPs start)
We deliberately do not ship approval workflows, multi-entity GL coding, three-way matching, or budget holds. If those are requirements, look at NetSuite, Procurify, or Coupa. Most businesses under 50 people do not need them and save real money by using lighter software.
Frequently asked questions
Is this really free?
Yes. Unlimited PO PDFs, no watermark, no trial countdown, no signup required to download. Paid features exist for invoicing and payments, but the PO tool is free.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks?
Direct integration is on the roadmap. Today we recommend matching POs to QuickBooks bills manually using consistent PO numbers — see our QuickBooks PO template page for the workflow.
What if I outgrow it?
If you hit a point where you need approval workflows, budget controls, or procurement analytics, that is the signal to move to NetSuite, Procurify, or Coupa. Until then, you are not missing anything by keeping it simple.
