ProcurementExpress.com

Kommentare: Overall Procurement Express is quick, easy and very transparent. You can decide for yourself as a company what level information you need to have within an order. You could approve purchases on basic information or request to have lots of details including conversations with suppliers as attachments.

Vorteile: I really appreciate the simplicity of the software to the end user. You don't need to be an accountant to use it and my colleagues really appreciated this when it was first introduced. It's just the right thing for our purposes. I believe there may be more features I could make a use of and I will at some point but at the moment while we are very busy with day to day business Procurement Express doesn't require much of maintenance time and just runs by itself in the background.

Nachteile: I was struggling with separating orders that I don't want to be visible to everyone within a particular budget. I think the option is either make everything visible to everyone or not. However some of our orders within (for example) HR budget should be available to everyone and others (like individual training courses) are not. Fortunately I found a mid-way around it that will work for now but I was struggling for a moment.

Kommentare: Solved my PO Approval needs without having to go to an enterprise tool like Oracle.

Vorteile: Functionality: easy to use, well designed, thoughtful workflows, robust functionality without being burdensome. ProcurementExpress.com not only understands the ins and outs of POs, but they also have created an information architecture that covers every base. UI/UX: Intuitive, clean design, modern look and one of the best UI designs I've seen. Speed of implementation - I literally spent a week from finding ProcurementExpress.com online to issuing our first PO. Set up was a breeze, ProcurementExpress.com was willing to help but I preferred to just plow through myself. Nifty import and export features are handy for mass updates or uploads. Support:I work in the software industry and ProcurementExpress.com has the best support I've ever seen. Chat is almost always available, reps are knowledgeable and I have yet to not get a resolution on my first contact. They do weekly releases, so if you need an enhancement, they are very responsive and timely on getting them in. I recommended it to our accounting firm to share with their other small biz clients, it was exactly what I needed for my client. In a nutshell, best in class design and exceptionally good customer support. It is the awesome customer support that makes it a no brainer choice.

Nachteile: Cons with the software are very few. I had a little trouble understanding how the Approval Limits worked, but that was probably my ignorance on the PO process. The ProcurementExpress.com rep called me during a chat question and clarified within 5 minutes. The user documentation is light, but because the support is so good - the don't need heavy how to documents or videos. I created my own training videos for my staff, it would have been cool if ProcurementExpress.com had a YouTube channel with training videos. Maybe that is to come...
