In the dynamic environment of construction projects, changes to purchase orders (POs) are common. Whether due to scope adjustments, design changes, or supplier constraints, procurement teams need flexible tools to amend POs quickly and accurately. Buildix ERP’s mobile-based PO amendment requests empower field teams and procurement managers in Canada to make real-time updates, improving responsiveness and minimizing delays.

Slow response times to urgent material changes
Miscommunication between field and office teams
