Slingshot announces a new “self service” requisition entry process for its eRequest product. Its familiar interface allows users to quickly and conveniently request material or services with no training.

The new pages were modeled after shopping experiences found on popular consumer web sites including amazon.com. According to Slingshot’s CEO Paul Carr - “Most requisitioning software is embedded in an ERP system and adopts its user interface. Requisitioners are often infrequent users of the company’s ERP software and therefore require training to enter a requisition. By modeling our system after popular consumer sites we give the requisitioner...

Slingshot Adds Version Tracking Features

April 3, 2015

Slingshot’s order management applications (Purchasing, Requisitioning and CRM) now allow any document (e.g. Purchase Order, Quotation or Acknowledgement) to be “versioned”.

The new version can carry notes describing the changes made. Internal copies of any version can be generated without incrementing the version identifier.

This new feature provides a simple and automated approach to tracking change order documents. These “...

This feature applies to requisitions, purchase orders, or invoices that require a value approval. Once the option is enabled the system automatically approves the document and forwards an email confirmation...
