For construction and civils teams in South Africa
Every site order approved before the supplier delivers.
Mittral takes an order from site to an approved purchase order. The right person signs it off at their limit, the supplier gets an order number, and head office can see each approved order, and the job it’s for, before the invoice lands.
- Free for 2 users and 10 purchase orders a month
- Works in rand, with VAT at 15%
- No card needed to start
Where the money gets committed today
The order is placed on site. Head office finds out from the invoice.
Orders are placed by phone from site
A site agent books concrete for tomorrow’s pour or a roller for the week. Nothing records who agreed to the quantity or the rate.
Signing limits live in a policy document
The delegation of authority exists, but nothing checks an order against it before the plant is on site or the subcontractor is called out.
The QS sees the cost after it is spent
The quantity surveyor compares orders with the bill of quantities once invoices arrive, when it is too late to question them.
Invoices arrive with nothing behind them
Accounts has to chase the site for a name and a delivery note before it can pay, on every invoice.
How it works
Request, approve, order. Then the invoice has an approved order to check against.
The first three steps happen in Mittral. The fourth happens in whatever you use to process invoices today.
-
Request
The site agent picks the entity, supplier and contract, adds the lines and attaches the quote and a photo or sketch from site.
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. Accounts payable checks it against an order that was approved before anything was delivered.
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 signing limits, applied to every order from site.
Each person has a rand limit. Pick a request to see who has to act. Nobody can approve their own request.
Built the way a contractor is structured
Your terms on the left. Where they live in Mittral on the right.
| What you call it | In Mittral |
|---|---|
| Contracting company, plant company or joint-venture entity | Entity. Its own legal name and address print on its orders, with its VAT number when it has one. |
| Yard, depot or regional 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. |
| Contract, project or site | Project. A request can be tagged to it. |
| Your supplier and subcontractor panel | Approved suppliers, listed first on the request form. |
| The fencing contractor near a new site | Once-off supplier, added on the request itself. |
| The quote and a photo or sketch from site | Attachments. PDF, JPG or PNG, up to 10 files per request. |
| The supplier’s quote number | Quote / reference no., used to flag a possible duplicate request. |
| Delegation of authority or signing limits | Approval paths, with a rand limit for the requester and for each approver. |
What changes

| Who approved the call-out is in someone’s phone | Each request shows who raised it and who approved it, and admins have an audit log |
