What this size needs

The shape of the problem

At this size, purchasing has outgrown email, but a full suite would be more than the team can run. Finance usually owns the problem, and the pain shows up as late invoices, duplicate payments and budgets nobody can see in time.

Priorities

What to weight most

Matching orders to invoices

This is where money leaks. Test it with a part delivery.

Department budgets

Managers need to see what they have left before they buy.

Supplier payments

If you pay in many countries, payment features can matter more than purchasing ones.

A named owner

Someone must own the tool and the rules after go live.

Starting points

Products buyers often consider

Not a ranking. Confirm every detail with the vendor in writing.

Procurify

Approvals and budgets in one place. A purchasing and spend control tool for requests, approvals, budgets and orders. Ask how it handles part deliveries and department budgets.

Precoro

PO and invoice matching. A purchasing tool with order and invoice matching. Ask to see a mismatched invoice handled from start to finish.

Tipalti

Global supplier payments. A payments and payables platform. Strong fit when paying suppliers in many countries is the main problem. Ask what it covers on the buying side.

BILL

Payables first, light procurement. A payables tool with lighter purchasing features. A fit when invoices are your biggest pain. Check the depth of approvals before purchase.

Vendr

Software buying support. A service that helps buy and renew software. Useful when software spend is large. Ask what it covers outside software.
