Procurement often becomes a bottleneck ("Where is my order?"). **Jestor Kanban** organizes the Procurement flow, allowing the whole company to see what stage each request is in: "Quoting," "Financial Approval," "Order Placed," or "In Transit."

### **Visual Bottlenecks**

If the "Financial Approval" column is full, you know the CFO is holding up orders. Kanban makes the problem visible so it can be solved.

### **Quote History**

Inside the card, the buyer attaches the 3 mandatory quotes. The approver opens the card, compares values, and approves with a click, without exchanging emails.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does the requester see the status?** Yes. Whoever asked for the laptop sees the card move to "Purchased" and stops asking on Slack.

**Can I have approval tiers?** Yes. If the value is high, you create a rule requiring the card to pass through a "Board Approval" column.

**Does it integrate with ERP?** Jestor manages the flow. Once approved, data can be sent to the ERP to issue the invoice via integration.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor Kanban**, procurement stops being a black box and gains total transparency.
