Full control
Without a clear overview, the ordering process quickly becomes fragmented: orders arrive via loose emails, unclear agreements and lack of insight cause delays, errors and a proliferation of orders. This leads to unnecessary costs and loss of control over budgets and suppliers. Thanks to smart links with supplier portals and catalogs, employees can now quickly and easily select the right products – at pre-contracted conditions. This prevents unwanted expenses and maintains full control over costs, budgets and suppliers.

All orders in 1 place
Whitevision in combination with Inconto automatically generates a purchase order and sends it digitally to the supplier. Through integration with your ERP system, costs are automatically linked to the correct cost centers. This creates a completely closed chain from request to payment.
With our software, you create one central place where everything comes together. Here you can see at a glance which requests are pending, which have been approved and which are still waiting. This prevents misunderstandings, speeds up decision-making and keeps your organization focused on budget and compliance. So you get the most out of your procurement process – without fuss and without surprises.
This is how simple your work process can look:
Request
Employees order through a user-friendly catalog, tailored to your suppliers and contracts.
Approve and order
Each request goes through preset approval routes. This keeps the procurement process in control at all times.
Purchase order and order
Once approved, the purchase order is automatically created and sent to the supplier via digital links.
FAQ
What exactly does the term ‘field purchases’ mean?
Field purchases are small changes, corrections, or additions that arise during a construction project. These often result in separate orders for materials and other small components. Although these orders make up only a small portion of the total purchase value, they unnecessarily consume time and effort due to the extra administrative work. With Whitevision’s field purchase solution, you can digitize and automate the entire process, saving both time and costs.
What benefits does the field purchase solution offer for construction companies?
With the field purchase solution, you automate the processing of field purchases. By drastically reducing manual work, you save time and work more efficiently. You maintain oversight and have immediate insight into the orders placed. It is very easy to generate detailed reports, which allow you to see whether suppliers are meeting their commitments. Additionally, you gain timely access to management information, making it easier to make data-driven decisions.
What is the difference between a purchase-to-pay solution and Whitevision’s field purchase solution?
With a purchase-to-pay solution, you order from a central catalog within the system. Our field purchase solution works differently. The site manager continues to order in the usual way — for example, by phone, via WhatsApp, or through a webshop. Based on this, our software automatically creates an order.
Can I join Whitevision as a wholesaler?
This is not possible, as we work exclusively on behalf of our clients. Our field purchase solution is not a “marketplace” for the site manager. We work closely with wholesalers, but they remain independent operators.
How does the app for site managers work?
The app is very easy to use. When the goods are delivered, the site manager can immediately confirm receipt of the items in the app. It is also possible to record any discrepancies and attach a photo of the delivery. The system automatically links all this information to the order.
How does the solution take pricing agreements into account?
Many construction companies make annual agreements with suppliers, meaning that each project has contracts with price lists. The field purchase solution automatically checks whether the received items match the agreed prices. How you handle discrepancies is up to you. For example, you can request a report monthly or quarterly to see the differences. This report can then be sent to the supplier, including a request to issue a credit invoice.
How does the integration between Whitevision and Inconto work?
Whitevision integrates seamlessly with Inconto and automates the processing of incoming invoices. Using smart technology, invoice data is recognized, extracted, and accurately processed within the Inconto system.
What makes the integration between Whitevision and Inconto unique?
Inconto helps organizations streamline contract management, procurement, and invoice processing. Whitevision adds to this by:
- Automatic invoice recognition: Less manual input, more efficiency.
- Matching: 3-way matching of incoming invoices with purchase orders and commitments based on order lines.
How exactly does Whitevision make it easier for me to process incoming documents?
We offer a convenient cloud solution that you don’t have to worry about. Hosting and automatic software updates are included in the monthly fee.
In addition, Whitevision pairs with several ERP systems. Thanks to our close partnerships with several ERP providers, we offer far-reaching integrations. As a result, you process incoming documents smoothly and easily.
How do I make the process around incoming document processing even easier?
For example, are you spending a lot of time dealing with the overwhelming flow of incoming emails? The SMART E-mail handler takes the preliminary work off your hands. This tool automatically splits, combines and moves attachments or digital purchase invoices.
Are you spending hours breaking down cost invoices, recalculating VAT per line and processing purchase invoices with many lines? Then rule recognition offers an outcome.
