Resources for Purchasing Software

If your business still creates piles of purchasing paperwork and has buying bottlenecks, purchasing software offers quick salvation. As a business grows, the purchasing process gets more complex. Seeking quotes, tracking purchase orders, approving invoices, issuing payments and the need to control "maverick spenders" all make the procurement process harder to manage. It's easy for a business to leak cash by overspending, buying haphazardly or losing track of what's happening on the "spend" side.

That's when purchasing software and a variety of other purchasing or "spend management" solutions can help save the day. Some of your key options include:

     1) Basic purchase order software that can keep track of your spending and procurement.
     2) Full-featured purchasing software suites that automate and streamline all stages of the process, from initial requests for quotations (RFQs) to final approval of the invoice.
     3) Web-based purchasing management solutions that let you management the procurement process online without having to install software at your location.
     4) Turnkey "spend management" solutions -- designed mostly for larger companies -- that take a highly-detailed and hands-on approach to controlling every detail of your business spending, from RFQs and requisitions to receiving and invoice approval.
