Spend Policy Check

Intake
Primary · Procurement
Secondary · Finance

Policy compliance starts at the moment of the question, not at the exception report. Can I expense this usually takes three emails and a week, even though the answer already lives in your policy.

Flo reads the question and the spend details in Slack, checks them against your written policy and thresholds, and returns a real answer in seconds: yes, no, or here is the path. When the spend needs approval, it opens the request.

Flo answers from policy. People decide what to buy. Fewer exceptions reach month-end, and the compliance trend shows up in the dashboard instead of in a cleanup. Edge cases escalate to a human owner.
