Precoro vs. ProcurementExpress.com

Budget tracking on expenditure by departments - Precoro assists with budget tracking on the total budget which is allocated to each department. If the budget has been exhausted an alert is made for exceptional approval to the budget.

Duplication of invoices. When a supplier bills us the same invoice twice, Precoro makes a notification that an invoice with the same number was already uploaded for payment.

It's suited for SMEs looking to organize their purchasing process even in the absence of an in-house finance dept where people have a degree of autonomy in decision making on purchases Getting approvals can be slow at times, so if you have a very hierarchical company and the boss is never around to approve things, this will slow things down.

Precoro is unique because it can be customizable from start to finish without needing to build in API. It is extremely easy to use and understand, so we did not need to give our employees extensive training as we did with Tradogram. Precoro also allowed us to communicate about orders right within the order itself, where the other software did not.

We did not have a program before this. I was not a part of the purchasing decision for this program. The setup in QuickBooks that we could have used was not as functionally useful as ProcurementExpress.com for our purposes, according to the team that did purchase the software.

• Our problem before implementing Precoro was a lot of manual tasks, from managing catalogs to creating reports. Now all related processes are in one place, and it's faster to create a purchase order, track it, and get products in time. Also, the overall visibility increased. We can see all purchases and their impacts on our budget. Reports is the most customizable module, so we can get the data we need. Thanks to our CSM for fast onboarding and help!

• I think our CEO will be able to provide a good answer to this.
• As a Creative Director, I focus on simply keeping projects on a budget, in an effective way.
