How to structure an automated supplier management process without IT

Structuring automated supplier management without IT means centralizing registration, documents, approvals, and payments in a single flow, without relying on programming. No-code platforms like Jestor help build this process, connecting supplier data to approvals and the ERP.

The pain behind the topic

Suppliers are usually controlled in spreadsheets, with documents scattered across email. Each payment depends on informal approvals, agreed in the hallway or in chat.

There's no standardization or traceability. When someone asks who approved a given expense, no one has the answer on hand.

When volume grows, control is lost for good. Automating the process restores order, history, and visibility — without needing a technical team to keep it all running.
