Questions

Frequently asked

01.

Who is SpendCue for?

SpendCue is built for growing teams that have outgrown managing purchase approvals in email, Slack, or spreadsheets — but don’t want heavy ERP software. If you need a simple way to request, approve, and track purchases, SpendCue is for you.

02.

Isn’t a corporate card (Ramp, Brex) enough?

SpendCue isn’t a card or a bank — it’s the approval and PO layer that sits in front of whatever you pay with, whether that’s a company card, bank transfer, or supplier invoice. Spend gets approved before money moves, instead of reconciled after the fact. Many teams run SpendCue alongside their cards.

03.

Does SpendCue require an ERP or an IT project?

No. SpendCue is self-serve purchase order software that runs alongside whatever you already use. Setup takes about five minutes: sign up, invite your team, set approval rules and budgets. No implementation project, no consultants, no IT involvement.

04.

What’s the difference between a purchase request and a purchase order?

A purchase request is the internal ask — what someone wants to buy, with line items and suppliers, routed for approval. A purchase order is the external commitment — the numbered document sent to the vendor after approval. In SpendCue, approved requests become auto-numbered purchase orders automatically, so nothing is ordered without an approved request behind it.

05.

Can I control budgets per department?

Yes. You set monthly budgets for the company and for each department, and SpendCue checks them at the moment of approval — before money is committed. Enforcement is configurable per budget: warn approvers, allow admin-only override, or hard-cap. Admins are alerted when a budget crosses 80% and 100%.

06.

Does SpendCue do 3-way invoice matching?

Yes. When goods are received and an invoice is entered, SpendCue reconciles order, receipt, and invoice with the tolerances you set, and flags exceptions before anything is cleared for payment. Invoices are entered manually — there’s no OCR capture or e-invoicing yet — but the matching itself is automatic.

07.

Do vendors need to use SpendCue?

No. Vendors don’t need an account or a login — they receive a professional PDF purchase order by email, sent from SpendCue in one click, and they reply or invoice exactly as they do today.

08.

Does SpendCue connect to my accounting tools?

Not yet. Today you can export everything to CSV and generate PDF purchase orders to send to suppliers. Direct QuickBooks and Xero sync, plus Slack and Teams approvals, are on the near-term roadmap — join the beta and you’ll help shape what ships first.

09.

How does the free beta work?

Join the waitlist and we’ll invite you when your spot is ready. During the beta you get full access to every feature, free, with no credit card — the 30-day trial clock only starts at public launch. Founding customers lock in the launch rate before any charges begin, and your data is never deleted.

10.

What does Pro include?

Pro is one flat monthly plan sized to your team — no per-seat fees, and every feature included: unlimited requests, the full approval workflow, company and department budgets, order-to-delivery tracking, PDF purchase orders, 3-way invoice matching, spend analytics, and priority email support. It’s free during the early-access beta; we’ll announce launch pricing before any charges begin, and founding customers lock in our launch rate.

11.

What happens when my trial ends?

Your data stays safe and accessible — nothing is deleted. Your workspace becomes read-only, so you can still view everything. Upgrade to Pro to create new requests and pick up where you left off.

12.

Is my data secure?

Your data is completely isolated from other companies using row-level security. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We never share your data with third parties.

13.

Do I need to install anything?

No. SpendCue is a web app — it works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile. No downloads, no plugins, no IT department required.
