Vendor Quote Collection & Purchase Order Generator
A done-for-you logistics automation built for the Procurement Manager, connecting Jotform, DocuSign, and Airtable so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
When a requisition is approved, the system automatically sends a formatted request for quote to the preferred vendor list, tracks responses in a comparison matrix, and (when a vendor is selected) generates a fully formatted purchase order pre-filled with item details, delivery address, and payment terms.
The procurement manager reviews and approves in one click rather than building each PO from scratch, and every purchase is fully documented from requisition to PO to receipt.
- Procurement platform or ERP connector (e.g., Coupa or NetSuite)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Jotform (RFQ form for vendors)
- Google Sheets or Airtable (quote comparison matrix)
- DocuSign (PO signature)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
The manual approach means a procurement manager handles each case reactively, after someone has already noticed something went wrong. None of it is difficult, it's just slow, repetitive, and easy to fall behind on.
With this automation
- Low-stock and reorder alerts before you run out
- Vendor and subcontractor confirmations that chase themselves
- Preventive maintenance scheduled by usage or date
- Work orders and project milestones that update stakeholders
