Automating Purchase Order Approvals for an Event Management Agency
CLIENT
Event Management Agency

A growing event management agency was managing purchase orders through a patchwork of spreadsheets, email chains, and manual approvals. Without a unified system, requests were lost, approvals were inconsistent, and each new project required hours of duplicated setup work.

TECHNOLOGIES
Airtable
Make
Fillout
Google Docs
20–40min
saved per purchase order

Manual document creation and approval coordination were eliminated.

3×
faster project setup

New projects no longer require duplicating the PO system.

3–4×
fewer manual steps

Approval routing, document generation, and supplier communication are now automated.

Challenge

Before automation, the purchase order workflow relied on a fragmented manual process built around Smartsheet and email.

Fragmented processes

Each purchase order required 4–6 hours to complete

Duplicated effort

150–200 purchase orders processed every month

Disconnected systems

Up to 5 stakeholders involved in approvals

Inconsistent data

Approval logic determined manually for each request

The consequences

PO documents created and distributed manually

Each new project required copying and rebuilding the PO workflow from scratch

As project volume increased, the process became slower, harder to control, and increasingly error-prone

Solution

QuitCode designed a centralized purchase order automation system reusable across all projects.

Airtable used as the central system for projects, purchase orders, and approval logic

Fillout forms enabled structured PO request submission

Automated approval routing based on PO value thresholds

One-click approve / reject experience for approvers

Automatic PO document generation via Google Docs

Automated delivery of finalized documents to suppliers

Centralized tracking across all projects

This architecture for procurement management.eliminated duplicated workflows and introduced a scalable operational backbone
