Esker mobile approvals need context-equivalence checks

Esker says users can review, approve, and move source-to-pay work forward through mobile-friendly experiences.

Order.co says its purchasing and payment platform can apply transaction- and stock-keeping-unit-level pre-approvals, convert requisitions into purchase orders, route approved orders to vendors, and reconcile lines. An approved item does not authorize an unreviewed substitute, changed pack, supplier, price, quantity, destination, or receipt.
