  • “

    Now we’re just so much more efficient. Spend limits can be set, approvals are expedited, and a complete audit trail is always digitally available for full transparency.

    “Before we were filling out forms in triplicate, then we had to get a number of signatures for approval.  We primarily use Fraxion for POs and approving expenses. It seamlessly integrates into our MS Dynamics GP system, which helps make our workflow a lot quicker. We’ve eliminated something like 90 percent of our paperwork.”

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Fraxion's procurement software for education. Need more information? 

We don’t have a procurement department in our school; how will that impact implementation, onboarding, and best practices?

In-house procurement skills are not required. Fraxion is rapidly deployed, and all users can be up and running with minimal training.

We work with you to configure chart of accounts, budgets, business rules, and purchasing policies. The system provides the internal controls and automated workflows to achieve spend control, efficiency, and best procurement practices.

How does the Microsoft Teams integration work?

The integration allows registered Fraxion users to receive notifications within Teams, submit purchase requests, review budgets, and approve, reject, or cancel requests—all directly through the Teams app. 

This familiarity accelerates adoption for teachers and staff and simplifies compliance with procurement policies and budgets.

Does the system support substitute and education assistant roles?

Yes, Fraxion can accommodate occasional use by these roles for purchasing goods and services.

These roles, like all teachers, are free and can use the system at no charge.

Can we manage IT procurement processes in Fraxion?

Yes, Fraxion enables easy standardization of IT procurement processes.

You can pre-approve purchase requests for your forecasted IT equipment needs at the beginning of the year, subject to approval structures, supplier authorization, policy, and budget compliance. Education faculty and staff can create purchase orders against that approved request for the volumes they need, as requirements arise throughout the year.

Tracking costs to assets is also possible and useful in determining when it’s more cost effective to replace than to repair equipment.

Can we track expenditure against projects and budgets (E.g., new sporting facilities, campus renovations, etc.)?

Yes, you can track expenditure against projects and budgets, and review available and committed spend in real-time before approving or incurring any costs.

Reporting on spend by transaction, budget, suppliers, and users is also supported by the system.
