# Atta vs Procurify

> Procurify handles purchase requests, POs and approvals for procurement teams. Atta does the approvals and then the buying. A side-by-side of where each fits.

Procurify is procurement and spend management software built around purchase requests, purchase orders and approvals. Atta follows the same request, approve, order path, with one difference: the agent finds the item and places the order with a capped single-use card, and the policy runs in code before any money moves.

## What Procurify does well

Procurify is in the procurement and spend management category, covering purchase requests, purchase orders, approvals and tracking what was bought. It suits organizations that want a formal request-to-order process with budgets visible to the people running them.

## Where Atta differs

Atta follows a purchase from the first message to the invoice. The sequence:

- Someone asks in Slack, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Claude or the browser.
- The agent searches the stores the workspace allows and shows the item, price and delivery date.
- A policy function decides `auto`, `ask` or `deny` from the amount, the person's role, the budget left and the workspace's rules. Code makes that call, not the model.
- Over a limit, an approval chain is built and answered one approver at a time. The approval binds to the amount and the lines, and a changed cart fails the order with both figures.
- With a card program on, the agent pays with a single-use virtual card for that order, capped at the approved total on the issuer's side too. Without one, it hands over the checkout link.
- Checkout reserves the budget and payment settles it. A received invoice links to the PO it names.

The agent places the order. If placing it fails after approval, it waits for a person to press Try again, and a spend is never retried automatically.

## Side by side

| | Atta | Procurify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Request | Chat message or form, both land as one request | Purchase request form |
| Sourcing | The agent searches allowed stores | The requester provides the vendor or item |
| Approval | Chain built from amount and rules, bound to the approved lines and amount | Approval workflow |
| Order | Placed by the agent under the requester's scope | Placed by a buyer or the requester |
| Payment | Capped single-use card per order | Per your own payment process |

## One order

Here's one request in Atta. Lee asks for 6 headsets at $85, $510. That's over the $500 a buyer approves alone, so the rules build a chain and the team lead answers first. After the last approval the agent places the order as Lee, keyed to the request so a retry finds it. A received invoice that names the PO links to the same request.

## When to pick Procurify instead

Procurify is the better fit when:

- You want a formal PO process with receiving and accounting integrations as the core of the system.
- Your buyers already know the vendor and a person placing the order is how you work.
- You run a procurement team and want its tooling in one product.

## Using both

Atta covers the purchases someone can ask for in a sentence. Other spend can stay where it is. Atta is in invite-only beta and free during the beta.

## Questions

### Does Atta have purchase orders?

Yes. Requests become orders, and received invoices link to the PO number they name. See the purchase orders page for how.

### Can Atta replace Procurify?

For small teams and repeat purchases it can cover the same request-approve-order path. A procurement team with formal sourcing and many vendors may prefer a dedicated platform.

### Who places the order?

The agent. It places the order as the requester after the last approval and keeps the request row up to date.
