Moving from Procurify

None of this needs a big-bang cutover. Most teams run both tools for one cycle and compare capture rates before switching anyone off.

  1. Look at your spending

    If nearly every purchase starts as a requisition, Procurify is the closer match and you should keep it.

  2. Connect your accounting

    Map the chart of accounts and tax codes once, then leave them alone.

  3. Rebuild the approval matrix

    Set bill and expense approvals by amount, category and approver, rather than porting old configuration.

  4. Add capture and payables

    Bring receipts and supplier bills onto the ledger first, and measure how many arrive without chasing.
