Digital POs & WOs

You can now issue Purchase Orders (POs) and Works Orders (WOs) electronically.

These tools have been built into Hutchies' Appian platform. This cuts down on duplication and helps track purchases better.

POs & WOs kick off our transition to digital contracts and simplified vendor engagement. We'll share more on the other new tools shortly
