Materials get requested from the site, not over the phone
A worker opens the app and asks for what's missing, with quantities and urgency. The office sees requests from every site, groups them into orders and sends them to suppliers. Every delivery and every delivery note stays attached to its order — and its project.
Why purchasing eats whole mornings
The classic loop: the worker calls the foreman, the foreman calls the office, the office calls the supplier. Three phone calls for a pallet of cement, no written trace, and when the delivery note arrives nobody remembers which project it should be charged to.
A written request changes the loop: whoever's on site asks with quantities and urgency, whoever buys sees all requests together and orders once, whoever receives ticks off what arrives. Material costs land on the right project because the thread never broke.
What you can do with Tabiquo
From the shortage on site to the recorded delivery note, one flow.
Requests from the phone
Workers request materials from the app, with quantities and urgency. The request arrives written down, not shouted over the phone.
Approval and consolidation
The office approves requests and groups them into orders per supplier — merging requests from different sites when it makes sense.
Orders with their full history
Every order knows which requests it came from and which project it serves. Clear statuses, from draft to paid.
Suppliers upload through a link
Send a link along with the order and the supplier uploads quotes and invoices themselves, no login. You get the notification, not an attachment to file.
Multi-stop deliveries
Pickups and drop-offs across several sites on the same run, with each stop's status: planned, in transit, delivered.
Exports for the back office
Orders and movements export to Excel, already split by project and supplier, ready for cost control.
Who runs purchasing with Tabiquo

Why stop ordering over the phone
A phone call leaves no trace, carries no written quantities, and matches no delivery note.
-
The request is written, with quantity and urgency: no more "I needed forty, not fourteen".
-
The office sees every site's shortages and orders once.
-
Suppliers upload quotes and invoices themselves: no more chasing attachments.
-
Every delivery note matches its order: the project allocation already exists.
-
Material costs land on the right project, with no month-end reconstruction.
Frequently asked questions
Can workers order directly from suppliers?
No — the flow exists precisely for that: workers request, someone with the right role approves and orders. Quantities and costs pass a control point before becoming a commitment.
How does the supplier link work?
When you send an order you can include a temporary link. The supplier uploads a quote or invoice there without signing up; the file lands attached to the order and the team gets notified.
Do you handle delivery notes too?
Yes: delivery notes are recorded and matched to the order, line by line when needed. So you see what actually arrived versus what was ordered.
Is the purchasing module included in every plan?
It's an optional module: part of the higher plans or added separately. You'll see it working in the demo and can decide whether it fits your purchasing loop.
