CareBlox Purchasing is being used throughout the Southern Cross Group (one of the largest residential care groups in the UK), providing managers with vital information on spending at many different levels. The system allows Home level administrators and managers to create purchase order requests, which are then sent for approval by a senior manager. The time from creating a purchase order request to getting approval is near instant, as the request instantly appears on the approver’s screen as soon as it is sent.
Centrally organising your spending provides a level of management and control that was previously impractical to obtain. CareBlox Clients is easily tailored to your business, allowing authorisation levels to be adjusted to suit the way you work. In short, the impact on your management system is enormous.
