The Freo Group workforce operates over wide geographical area and often in remote locations without network coverage. A large part of the work involves the structured and accurate purchasing of goods and services and the timely approval and payment of such purchases. Freo are constantly seeking ways to make their business more efficient through the use of technology and innovation and this includes looking for a way to automate their Purchase Order and Invoice Approvals processes. Currently there is no easily accessible way for managers to locate and approve important workflows. Managers have to spend valuable time logging in on a desktop, and spend more time locating crucial purchase orders and invoices. This is time consuming and inconvenient and in turn leads to delays and escalations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
