Welcome to Flutebyte Technologies
Procurement Management Software for Interior and Project-Based Businesses

Procurement Problems That Affect Project Cost and Timelines
In many interior companies, procurement is handled through Excel, WhatsApp, phone calls and manual approvals. This creates confusion between project requirement, stock availability, vendor rates, delivery dates and actual material received.
Purchase Starts Without Stock Check
Material is purchased even when stock or leftover material is already available.
No Proper Purchase Request Flow
Teams raise requirements through WhatsApp or calls, so there is no clear record of who requested what and for which project.
Vendor Quotes Are Hard to Compare
Rates, delivery dates, brands, payment terms and GST details come from different channels and are not compared properly.
Purchase Orders Are Created Without Control
POs may be created without checking approved BOM, project budget or management approval.
Material Inward Is Not Properly Matched
Challan, invoice, PO quantity, accepted quantity and rejected quantity are not always checked together.
QC and Rejection Tracking Is Weak
Rejected material, replacement follow-up and credit notes are often tracked manually.
Budget Impact Is Seen Too Late
Management gets to know the actual purchase cost only after expenses have already crossed the planned budget.
What Is Procurement Management Software?
Procurement management software helps your team manage the complete purchase process from material requirement to stock update. It keeps purchase requests, vendor quotes, purchase orders, GRN, QC and rejected material tracking in one system.
In a custom Interior ERP, procurement should not work separately. It should start from approved BOQ, BOM and inventory shortage. This helps your purchase team buy only what is required, from the right vendor, with proper approval and record.
Example
If a project needs laminate, hinges and channels, the ERP can first check available stock. If there is a shortage, it can create a purchase request, send RFQ to vendors, compare quotes, approve the vendor, create PO, record GRN/QC and update stock after material is accepted.

How the Procurement Module Works
The procurement workflow can be customized based on your company’s approval rules, vendor process and project structure. A typical workflow can follow this structure:
Step 1
Approved BOM or Material Requirement
Procurement starts from approved project requirement, BOM or material intent.
Step 2
Inventory Availability Check
The system checks whether required material is available in stock, reserved stock or project-specific stock.
Step 3
Shortage List Created
If material is not available, the ERP creates a shortage list against the project.
Step 4
Purchase Request Raised
The purchase request is created with project code, material details, quantity, required date and remarks.
Step 5
RFQ Sent to Vendors
RFQ can be created and sent to selected vendors for item-wise rates and delivery details.
Step 6
Vendor Quotes Received
Vendor quote details such as rate, GST, delivery date, payment terms, brand and remarks are entered into the system.
Step 7
Vendor Quote Comparison
The system compares vendor quotes so management can review price, delivery and terms before approval.
Step 8
Purchase Order Created
After approval, the purchase order is created with vendor, item, quantity, rate, delivery date and project reference.
Step 9
Material Arrival Recorded
When material arrives, challan, invoice and received quantity are recorded.
Step 10
GRN and QC Completed
Accepted quantity, rejected quantity, QC status and remarks are captured before stock update.
Step 11
Stock Updated
Only accepted material updates store stock or project-specific stock.
Step 12
Budget and Reports Updated
Purchase cost is linked with project budget, vendor reports, GRN reports and budget vs actual reports.

Compare Vendor Quotes Before Creating Purchase Orders

Flutebyte can build RFQ and vendor comparison inside the procurement module so your team can select vendors with better control.
