If you work in Procurement or Purchasing, you need to know which materials are approved before placing orders - and you need an easy way to get new products approved by your QA team. ChemCloud makes both simple.
Your main needs
Procurement and Purchasing teams typically need to:
Know what's approved - Quickly check if a supplier's product is approved before ordering
Pass new products to QA - Hand off new materials to Quality for approval without endless email chains
Keep colleagues informed - Communicate with QA about approval status and next steps

Key features for Procurement / Purchasing
Approved Materials - See at a glance which supplier products are approved for each raw material. Filter by approval status to find what's pending.

Typical workflow
You find a new supplier product you want to use
Create an approved material record in ChemCloud with status "R&D Not Started"
@mention your QA colleague: "Can you review this for approval?"
QA updates the status as they progress through their review
Once approved, you can request quotes from that supplier
