FatGalah's - Product Allocation Management System (PAMS)V3.

A Smarter Way to Manage Staff Product Allocations

For more than 20 years, FatGalah has been developing online ordering and product management solutions for organisations that need to provide products to their staff. 

As organisations have grown, so has the need for a simpler and more controlled way to manage staff purchasing. Government departments, councils, hospitals, corporations and other large organisations often need to control what staff can order, how much they can spend, when they can order and who needs to approve their orders. 

FatGalah's Product Allocation Management System for Staff (PAMS) brings this entire process together in one centralised online platform. Instead of managing staff allocations, orders and approvals manually, PAMS allows organisations and their staff to manage the process online, 24 hours a day.


What is PAMS?

Product Allocation Management System for Staff (PAMS) is an online platform that allows organisations to allocate products, quantities, categories or budgets to individual staff members.

Staff can log in, view their available allocation and place orders online. Depending on the organisation's requirements, orders can then be automatically approved, sent to a department head for approval, or move directly into the fulfilment process.

PAMS provides organisations with greater control while making the ordering process easier for staff.

How PAMS Works

Allocate Products or BudgetsAllocations can be based on price, quantity, product categories or unlimited purchasing.

Staff Place OrdersEach staff member has their own secure login and can order their allocated products online whenever required.

NotificationKeep everyone informed with automated notifications.

FulfilmentOnce approved, orders can move into the picking, packing and fulfilment process.

ReportingManagement can review orders, spending and allocation usage across staff, departments and organisations.


Flexible Allocation Types.

Every organisation has different purchasing requirements. PAMS supports a range of allocation methods.

  • Price Allocation
    Set a maximum dollar value that a staff member can spend during an allocation period.
  • Quantity Allocation 
    Set the maximum number of products a staff member can order during an allocation period.
  • Category Allocation
    Control the number of products that can be ordered from a particular category within an individual order.
  • Partial Category Allocation 
    Set category limits across multiple orders during an allocation period.
  • Price Category Allocation 
    Set a spending limit for specific product categories across multiple orders.
  • Infinite Allocation
    Allow staff members to order without an allocation limit.

Flexible Approval Options.

PAMS can be configured to match the purchasing policies of each organisation.

  • Approval
    Orders are submitted to the nominated department head or manager for approval.
  • Packing
    Orders bypass the approval process and can move directly into the packing process.
  • Auto approval
    Orders are automatically approved without requiring manual approval.
  • Completed
    Orders can bypass the standard approval and processing workflow where required

From Managing 1 Client to Managing 20+ Allocation Portals

Many businesses initially manage staff allocations manually for just one or two customers.

As the number of customers increases, spreadsheets, emails, manual approvals and individual order processing can become increasingly difficult to manage.

By moving these processes into an automated allocation platform, suppliers can establish a repeatable process for managing multiple organisations from a centralised system. 

For some of our customers, this has enabled them to move from managing a small number of allocation customers to managing 20+ separate allocation portals. 

PAMS is designed to help suppliers build a scalable process around staff purchasing rather than creating a new manual process for every customer.
