HBR Consulting, a legal technology consultancy, has added a new purchasing module to its law firm procurement platform SpendConnect. The consultancy partnered with Atlanta-based procurement software provider b-pack Inc. to add the new module to its procurement software as a service.

The purchasing feature ensures that necessary approvals occur before purchases are made while increasing “transparency” and “accountability,” said Scott Springer, director at HBR Consulting in Chicago. The purchasing module includes support for:

  • A request to pay feature.
  • A Web-based and mobile-friendly purchasing process.
  • More purchasing controls through automated approval routing.
  • Reporting tools to track budgets and monitor and analyze expenses.
