Ordelle

Procurement and vendor risk for teams of 300 to 5,000

Know what you are committing to before the PO goes out.

Ordelle puts intake, vendor risk review and purchase approvals on one record, so procurement, finance, legal and security sign off in parallel instead of in an email chain.

  1. 01 / 05 · Intake

    Requests that route themselves

    Employees describe what they need in plain language. Ordelle classifies the purchase, checks for an existing contract and sends it to the right reviewers based on amount, data access and vendor tier.

    • Flags tools you already pay for before a second contract is signed
    • Routing rules by amount, category, data class and region
    • Request from Slack, Teams or a form on your intranet

    A risk score with the evidence attached

    Questionnaires go out sized to the vendor's tier. Answers, documents and findings land on one profile, and every finding gets an owner and a due date.

    • Questionnaires of 18, 41 or 96 questions by tier
    • Exceptions that expire instead of living forever
    • Re-review on a schedule, or when the data scope changes

    Committed spend before it reaches the ledger

    Approved requests count against budget the moment they are approved, not when the invoice arrives. Finance sees commitments by team, vendor and quarter.

    • Budgets synced nightly from your ERP
    • Committed, invoiced and paid on one line
    • Alerts when a team passes 90% of its budget
