Overview

The procurement process for software involves various stakeholders, including approvers, members of the procurement team, FP&A teams, legal teams, and Infosec teams. Each of these stakeholders desires to be kept informed and involved in the procurement process. Spendflo addresses this need through a feature known as "followers."

In addition to the requester and other stakeholders directly engaged in a specific procurement receiving notifications, there are followers who will also receive notifications and updates regarding the progress of the procurement. This feature ensures that all relevant parties are well-informed and can participate actively in the procurement process.

Let's see the steps to add a follower to the procurement request.

Access the Request details page

To add followers, you must first have a procurement request. Create a new procurement request or locate the request on the Procurement Request page if you have already submitted one. Open the specific request by clicking on it.
