In modern organizations, procurement is no longer just about buying—it’s about aligning spend with strategy.

Whether you’re investing in heavy machinery for a new production line or renewing your team’s monthly software subscription, one question matters more than any other:

Are you in control of your CAPEX and OPEX?

If your answer is anything less than a confident “Yes,” you’re not alone. Many teams still rely on spreadsheets, scattered approvals, and manual processes that leave them exposed to:

• Overspending
• Missed opportunities
• Zero visibility

That’s exactly where Scale steps in.

🧠 First, the Basics: What’s CAPEX vs OPEX?

While both are essential, they’re tracked, approved, and accounted for differently—and managing both in one system has been a pain point for far too long.

🔍 The Real Problem

Most procurement systems weren’t built to manage both CAPEX and OPEX seamlessly.

• CAPEX purchases involve complex, high-value workflows that demand due diligence, evaluations, and strict approvals.

• OPEX purchases happen often and should be quick—but are frequently slowed down by lack of structure or automation.

The result? Budget leaks, compliance risks, and endless firefighting.

🚀 The Scale Solution: One Platform for Every Type of Spend

At Scale, we’ve built a unified procurement engine that gives finance and procurement teams real-time control, visibility, and peace of mind.
