Precoro

Vorteile

We like that we're able to track a job's budget in place as well as being able to see all documents related to a specific purchase. We even started taking pictures of the merchandise when it arrived and saving it in the PO in Precoro.

Nachteile

I would like to see a budget template that can be uploaded and the purchasing be tracked through Precoro.

Vorteile

We were struggling to find a software program that was affordable to use in a project based engineering class. Precoro's price structure only charges on a Power User basis and not normal users, so this made it affordable.
Precoro is web-based platform that allows students to use their university credentials to easily submit purchase orders for multiple parts from a variety of vendors with some oversight by administrators to approve and place the orders. It does this really well.

Nachteile

The comment feature is great within the system, but you only get notified via email that you have a comment. It would be great to have a feature in Precoro that allows you to see comments that are addressed to you within the platform.

Procurify

Warum Precoro gewählt wurde

We didn't use Adobe. We used a custom piece of software that was developed in house. It had numerous flaws that caused orders to be duplicated, made it hard to order multiple parts from a single vendor, keep track of budgets and receive parts.

Adobe Acrobat Reader

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Precoro

Procurify was too expensive. They wanted to charge on a per-user basis each month. This which was not affordable for the program, especially since the software remains unused for about 4 months of the year.

Vorteile

It is easy to maneuver and to use and train on.

Nachteile

completing the req and pending receipt. If you complete the req then that should complete the receipt

Vorteile

I was impressed with Precoro's user-friendly interface and powerful analytics and reporting capabilities. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to learn and navigate. The software's analytics and reporting features provide comprehensive insights, helping me make informed decisions. I particularly appreciated the option to export data in Excel format, enabling further analysis and customization.

Nachteile

It is not intuitive enough for me how inventory management should work. Also, when manually entering a new item, the small window provided for name and description made it difficult to verify entered information. Additionally, I discovered that Precoro allowed the creation of duplicate SKU numbers, even when an existing SKU already existed. Despite these concerns, Precoro's user-friendly interface and powerful analytics remain valuable for procurement processes.

Vorteile

The customer service is awesome. Someone is always welling to assist us.

Nachteile

We haven't started using it fully yet, so nothing as of yet.

Vorteile

I would like to extend my gratitude to the Developer for their assistance during my initial launching and integration stages. Having opted for the 14 days free trial, I had enough time to learn about the tool and how applicable it would be on my day to day work. I used that time to engage with the help desk who were very committed to assisting me learn more about the tool before I could purchase it. For a while now, Precoro has performed excellently well especially on matching invoices with orders and receipts. I can now assure anyone that Precoro is a secure and reliable software.

Nachteile

None. The few minor challenges I faced during implementation were sorted out on the help desk. Everything has worked well ever since.

Vorteile

captures all required needs in one program!

Nachteile

there is currently no mobile app, which would be great for our maintenance team.

Vorteile

Friendly Platform. Easy to use. Operational team take less time adding all the items from the catalog to the requisition.

Nachteile

We would like to have more integrations. we are not able to modify much of the things that predeterminate

friendly platform , easy to use. Catalog

Vorteile

I like how all the features bleed into one another and the system is overall very easy to learn how to functions and operate.

Nachteile

I would say there are minor things like any other software that have come up, one example being able to look up orders by either material or job names.

Vorteile

ease of use and the support that we received from presentation through implementation

Nachteile

I can't think of anything that I didn't like

Vorteile

The ease of use and the reports that are produced.

Nachteile

Occasional failures in access, and in the data boxes.

Vorteile

Comprehensive procurement features: This software provides a wide range of procurement features that cover the entire procurement process, from requisition to purchase order creation, supplier management, and invoice processing. Precoro's feature set allows you to streamline and automate your procurement workflow, saving time and reducing errors.

Nachteile

Implementing new software requires a learning curve for users, which might take time and effort. Employees may need training to understand how to use the software effectively and adapt to new workflows.

Vorteile

The customer service and functionality available

Nachteile

Currently some limitations on purchase orders for credit card purchases

Vorteile

User friendly and easy to use and navigate. Information and documents are easy to retrieve. Saves alot of time. I love the feature which allows you to customize your own reports. Support is great and we receive quick feedback on queries. Approval workflow is very evident that promotes ownership and control.

Nachteile

So far i have not had any issues. I am happy with the product.

Vorteile

How easy it is to import items that I would like to purchase.

Nachteile

At this time there aren't any. I am very satisfied with product.

Vorteile

Great and easy way of purchasing! Really streamlined process

Nachteile

Items don’t auto add to vendor profile. This would allow very easy reordering of the same item.

Vorteile

It's easy to use very convenient easy to track orders with it.

Nachteile

It's kinda difficult to get to the invoice to check that it has been received the little fox guy is annoying. lol

Vorteile

It's easy to use and very complete software, our account executive has been awesome and answered all our questions and concerns.

Nachteile

Could take time to set it up with specifics accounting software

Vorteile

There are some features we cannot use on other software which are nice (vacation mode, complex approval levels, inventory management, etc)

Nachteile

It is not as flexible for purchase orders & the admin cannot override as much as we would like

Vorteile

Precoro is a great option for a comprehensive and user-friendly tool to streamline our purchasing and track our spending. I particularly appreciate the ease with which we can add vendors, create and manage purchase orders, and track payments. The interface is straightforward and easy to navigate, making it a great option for busy professionals.

Nachteile

Precoro is great! I have nothing to dislike about it! Precoro is a great platform for managing procurement and supplier relationships.

Vorteile

It is very easy to use and has great integrations to subsequent software solutions. The customer support is exceptional. Olena and Andrew are always available if you have a problem and always help you find a solution. If we miss a feature it is often implemented in the next release. You can't find that anywhere else!

Nachteile

Personally I like desktop applications for mass data entry - that means working with high amount of line items reduces efficiency. Workaround via upload is available though.

Vorteile

I really love the precoro soft, I enjoyed using this soft that is helping us to control and manage the company expenses, order, vendor, etc.

Nachteile

Raising PO, Warehouse requests, Precoro company system admin, and the system access right modification.

Vorteile

The thing I enjoy most about the software and Precoro as a whole. Is how much the software adapts to the growing needs of our organization. Allowing us to manage the PO and PR approval process digitally, monitor budgets on a digital platform. Precoro has provided greater visibility of our spending across projects, suppliers, and locations. It has increased our Purchase order process dramatically and provided user-friendly reporting functionality.

Nachteile

Initially, the speed at which the software could adapt to our needs. At present, this has improved over the years. It's great to work with an organization that listens to your needs and tries to accommodate them where possible. But there are still features that could be improved .e.g. customization of the PO layout, customization of text sent out with purchase orders, and allocating mandatory/non-mandatory budgets.

Vorteile

Precoro mobile web version and approval from email allow me to do it from everywhere. In addition, we now know in real-time how much we're spending on each budget.l In just a few weeks using precoro we saw tremendous improvement in our process, especially around budgets and approvals. We use Quickbooks for accounting but it was a struggle because we didn't know how much was left in a specific budget and if it's okay to approve a request or not. It wasn't very easy for us. We were looking for many different solutions, but many services were unfriendly or didn't have all the functionality we needed. I'm so happy that we've found an excellent automated, integrated QB solution - Precoro!

Nachteile

We have 2 people who make PO and separately approvers. They constantly need to revise PO and increase the amount through tolerance rate for receiving. It is very often the case that one creator is hired, and another can do it. but he hasn't a revised button because he is not in the approval flow.

Vorteile

We had a system for tracking direct purchasing, but we faced increased demand for purchasing supporting materials - packaging, warehouse goods, shopping goods, ripping, and no system for these needs. There were difficulties with tracking the number of goods in the warehouse and processing requests from the warehouse and shops - there were sent by mail, etc. Now we have a great multi-user platform that serves our 100 employees well. We track all our requisitions and purchases for raw materials, intricate parts, that are procured daily from over 50 suppliers around the globe. Precoro is asy to learn and use, the features we need are built-in, and we didn't have to do a lot of customization!

Nachteile

Great program. I haven't had any issues with using Precoro.

Vorteile

I recently had the pleasure of implementing Precoro for our new purchase order software, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From the initial setup to day-to-day operations, the transition was remarkably smooth, and every step was handled with utmost professionalism and expertise.
The implementation process was a breeze. [sensitive content hidden] and the rest of Precoro team took the time to understand our unique business needs and tailored the software implementation to perfectly align with our goals.
[sensitive content hidden] and all Precoro team was incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. We were kept informed at every stage of the project, and any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly and comprehensively.
One of the standout features of this software is its flexibility. It effortlessly adapts to our unique workflows and requirements, allowing us to customize fields, approvals, and notifications with ease.
Navigating through the software feels like second nature. The user interface is clean, intuitive, and beautifully designed. Even team members who were initially apprehensive about learning a new system quickly embraced it, thanks to its user-friendly layout.
With Precoro software in place, our procurement process has become more efficient than ever. From requisition to approval to invoicing, every step flows seamlessly, saving us valuable time and resources.
Post-implementation support has also been outstanding. Precoro continues to offer prompt and effective assistance whenever we need it, demonstrating their commitment to customer satisfaction and long-term partnership.

Nachteile

No Cons that I can think of. All issues that we had were promptly addressed.

Vorteile

As a non-profit, we needed something functional, user friendly and cost effective. Precoro has changed the way we operate. We have a very complex multi-company set-up and Precoro has helped us to better organize and manage the purchase order process and tracking approvals. I would highly recommend to any non-profit. The customer service has also been beyond amazing.

Nachteile

Not so much of a con but more of a wish list item. Because we do have a complex set-up, I would like to see a multi-level workflow. Precoro has been great at listening to my suggestions over the years and we have worked closely together. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say.

Vorteile

Precoro allows us to simplify and streamline our ordering process, from the statement of requirement to PO validation flow, to vendor management, to invoicing and reconciliation. It is a 100% SaaS platform, so easy to access and no maintenance required.

Nachteile

The invoicing piece could be easier to use. If a supplier generates part invoices for an order, it's still a bit awkward to manage if it has not been split properly when drafting the PO. Hopefully the new features such as Service PO and Blanket PO should resolve this.

Vorteile

Precoro has been a huge improvement for our organization! It was easy to customize to fit our needs and has been a game changer for our approval and purchasing process. The support folks at Precoro are so responsive and super helpful, they are dedicated and genuinely care about our success in using the product.

Nachteile

If I have to pick something I like least, which I'm having a tough time coming up with, I would say maybe an improvement to the search function.

Vorteile

Il est très facile d’utilisation et pas besoin d’avoir de connaissance approfondi en informatique

Nachteile

Ce ne sont pas tout les produits disponible qui sont présent sur Precoro. Quelques fois, il faut se rendre en magasin

Vorteile

Precoro has its ways to enhance clarity in whatever field it is applied in. I started using Precoro in my business as a beginner to control budgeting and expenses tracking. It worked so well that when I got a job, I could not hesitate to apply it in my new position to make my work easier and professional. It has worked well and I feel the change. It is basically easy to use and implementation is not an issue at all. The customer service is excellent too.

Nachteile

Great tool with no dislikes. Precoro is the best option for me.

Vorteile

Precoro has helped me to make financial decisions and to easily manage my account. The ease of the platform and the immediate access to my budget balances in real time have simplified my processes and improved my effeciency.

Nachteile

The system logs out fast and does not safe your passwords, so I have to login several times a day.

Vorteile

I've been using Precoro for a bit now, and it has really streamlined our procurement process. Here’s my honest take on it:

Pros
Super Easy to Start and Submit Orders for POs:
One of the standout features is how user-friendly it is. I didn’t need a lot of training to get the hang of it. Creating and submitting purchase orders (POs) is straightforward and hassle-free. It’s definitely one of the easiest systems I’ve used.

Clear Options for Grants and Item Categories:
I also appreciate how clear and organized it is when choosing grants and item categories. This helps keep everything sorted and ensures that purchases are correctly allocated. It saves a lot of time and reduces confusion, especially when dealing with multiple grants and categories.

Nachteile

Cons
Needs a Bulk Import Feature for POs:
The only downside I’ve noticed is the lack of a bulk import feature for creating POs. This would be a huge time-saver, especially during busy times or for larger organizations with a lot of orders to place. Hopefully, they add this feature soon.

Vorteile

I love the efficiency of Precoro. It makes the Procurement Process so smooth and simple.

Nachteile

Precoro is so user friendly, and makes it so easy that my teachers are ordering supplies like crazy!

Vorteile

Precoro is very easy to use compared to other procurement/PO software in the market. The UI is clean. I love using the graphs from the 'Reports' to keep track of the spending for my project.

Nachteile

Not really a con but with any other new software, there will be a slight leaning curve for first time users jumping into Precoro.

Vorteile

Precoro has changed the way we operate. This school year, I have enjoyed being the bridge between teachers and the Department of Finance. Teachers communicate their classroom needs, and their ideas for field trips. Then, I submit purchase requisitions. The system allows me to add notes. This allows me to specify which class in the department is requesting it. In addition, I can submit files. This feature is convenient for sharing invoices and keeping everything in one place.

Nachteile

What I like the least is that when I upload the spreadsheet to import the items, and I made an error on my end, it takes me a long time to figure out what I have to change. Many times I add the items manually to save time.

Vorteile

Very flexible, user friendly, integration with Netsuite works well

Nachteile

The UI design needs to be improved. For example, we're not able to add amount when we create a PO on the main page. have to click on "Add" button at the bottom then enter the amount, which is a little bit strange.

Vorteile

- The ability of us users to create and update reports for our usage is very helpful- Its easy to use precoro, the set up is easy to understand and follow through activities. Does not exactly require additional technical expertise to use the system. - The graphical analyses assists in analyses, costs and effectiveness and efficiency of procurement processes.

Nachteile

- The system does not value inventory so not good for inventory management. This also proves the system not suitable for stock replenishment.

Vorteile

I find the feature of marking PO`s as fully or partly received very very useful. This is so because i always have first hand information on the status of all my orders and lets me know where to focus my attention.Yes i find the product easy to use and it was perfectly integrated with quickbooks

Nachteile

The fact that i cannot automatically post warehouse returns is what i dont like. Except i have to manually do stock changes which is what i dont like doing.

Vorteile

We like this to be able to see what we have ordered for specific areas throughout our factory

Nachteile

nothing as of right now, very easy to maintain.

Vorteile

The best thing about Precoro is their personalized relationship with their customers, their rapid responses to questions and follow up on things that can be done better. They are very very helpful to us. Customer service and help desk is excellent. Very knowledgeable staff and excellent training for implementation.

Nachteile

Expense does not transfer to QB online yet. They are working on this. Budgets are just not the best for us.Reporting is lacking even though they provide every combination of capturing your data and exporting this to excel. It would be ideal if some basic executive style reports were just available for printing by just changing dates, etc.

Vorteile

Ease of access in ordering supplies needed for my department

Nachteile

User interface is a little confusing but manageable

Vorteile

Simple, Customer Success Manager's availability, OCR cost consideration, user and admin friendly

Nachteile

Did not provide reference at system selection, no inventory management, not customizable columns in budgets, no link between item on PO and item master, allow users to update price in PO.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to use and very clear in tracking my PO's.

Nachteile

Can't really think of any. I haven't been using it long, and this is my first PO system I'm using.

Vorteile

Precoro simplifed a lot how we do accounting. WIth it integration with quickbook it is a breaze to track expense and budgeting. The PO creation and then status update along the way are very user friendly and easy to use.Creating receipt for received product allows us to track the whole PO lifetime up to the part reception. Very good upgrade for a small company who used to do all its POs manually ! Using a list of pre-imported part is also very useful for stuff you buy on a regular basis.

Nachteile

The only missing options in precoro are the ability to say where the part consumption are going. It would be useful to fully track a part lifetime.Tracking part revision is also not super well integrated, we got it to work but had to use some workaround

Vorteile

Precoro help us to reduce paperwork and facilitate us procurement management since requesting up to ordering

Nachteile

When we meet problems during processing, you are ready to help us and the feed back comes quickly

Vorteile

It is a very user-friendly system and the support team is very responsive.

Nachteile

All features are accessed online which is a disadvantage on our part which has a poor geographical set-up for the internet access.

Vorteile

I like the look in the usability of the system. I also like that you can put vendors in and they Can have access as well to the system.

Nachteile

There are a lot of steps to get one task done

Vorteile

Easy and straight forward application settings

Nachteile

Few bugs relating to invoice posting, where VAT missed when migrated to Quickbooks

Vorteile

Es un software excelente,el soporte al cliente es bueno,ayuda mucho a acelerar los procesos de gestion de compras de la empresa exponencialmente ya que es muy organizado y sencillo en lo que ofrece,lo da y lo cumple sin problemas.

Nachteile

Al principio puede ser algo difícil adaptarse y aprender a usarlo pero gracias a su buen soporte técnico hace de la experiencia algo mas llevadero y digerible para quedarse con el producto.
