For professional services firms in the United Kingdom
Every purchase signed off before the supplier is engaged.
Mittral takes a purchase from the person who needs it to an approved purchase order. The right partner or manager signs it off, the supplier gets an order number, and finance can see each approved order, and the client matter it’s for, before the invoice arrives.
- Free for 2 users and 10 purchase orders a month
- Works in pounds, with VAT at 20%
- No card needed to start
Where the money gets committed today
The spend is agreed in an email thread. Finance finds out from the invoice.
Purchases are agreed in reply-all
A team lead asks a partner by email whether they can book a freelancer. The yes is three replies down the thread, and the price is in another one.
Nobody is sure whose sign-off counts
The office manager can agree small items and a partner the rest, but where one stops and the other starts is in a policy nobody checks at the time.
Invoices arrive with no order number
Finance has to work out who booked the venue, whether anyone agreed it, and which client matter it belongs to before it can be paid.
Small purchases from many people add up unseen
A laptop, a print run and a few days of a freelancer are each small. Together they are a real cost, and it shows only when the invoices are posted.
How it works
Request, approve, order. Then the invoice arrives with an order number.
The first three steps happen in Mittral. The fourth happens in whatever you use to process invoices today.
-
Request
The team lead or office coordinator picks the entity, the supplier and the client matter or internal project, adds the lines and attaches the quote.
Mittral -
Approve
The request goes to each approver in turn until one whose limit covers the total signs it off.
Mittral -
Order
A numbered purchase order is emailed to the supplier as a PDF. It can be revised, sent again or cancelled.
Mittral -
Invoice
The supplier quotes the order number on the invoice. Finance checks it against an order that was approved before the work began.
Your invoice process
What Mittral covers. Purchase requests, approvals and purchase orders. It doesn’t receive goods, hold budgets or match invoices on its own.
Try the approval path
Your sign-off rules, applied to every request.
Each person has a pounds limit. Pick a request to see who has to act. Nobody can approve their own request.
Built the way a firm is structured
Your terms on the left. Where they live in Mittral on the right.
| What you call it | In Mittral |
|---|---|
| The LLP, the Ltd or a service company | Entity. Its own legal name and address print on its orders, with its VAT number when it has one. |
| Office | Branch. Each request names one, it prints as the delivery location on the order, and a person’s approval path can differ per branch. |
| Client matter, engagement or internal project | Project. A request can be tagged to it. |
| Your preferred suppliers | Approved suppliers, listed first on the request form. |
| The translation agency you use once | Once-off supplier, added on the request itself. |
| The supplier’s quote number | Quote / reference no., used to flag a possible duplicate request. |
| Partner sign-off | Approval paths, with a pounds limit for the requester and for each approver. |
| A partner on holiday or out with a client all week | Time away. An approver marks the days they’re away. Their requests move on to the next approver, or to a colleague an admin names to cover, who decides with the same limit. |
What changes
The same purchases, with a record at each step.
| Today | With Mittral |
|---|---|
| A purchase is agreed in an email thread | A request is raised with the quote and the brief attached |
| The freelancer starts on someone’s say-so | The supplier receives a numbered purchase order by email |
| Sign-off depends on which partner you ask | Every request is routed by its total, excluding VAT |
| A partner away for a week holds everything up | Requests go past an approver who is away, or to a colleague covering for them |
| Finance asks who booked the venue and which matter it was for | The invoice carries an order number, and its request shows the client matter or project |
| Who approved what is buried in someone’s inbox | Each request shows who raised it and who approved it, and admins have an audit log |
