    Bento for Business
    Our organization runs a lot of short-term or one-off programs where the program staff need to buy supplies -- Bento is perfect for these scenarios. The staff who make the purchases are not staff who would typically have a company card, so we wanted a solution other than giving them a credit card. Bento was perfect because it makes the purchasing & bookkeeping processes for these programs easy and efficient for both the staff and the finance team

    Precoro is great if you need to keep your organization aware of where in the purchasing process an order is, and if you need a place to communicate about orders & keep a record of those communications. It does not work too well for a variety of purchasing requests - the process lacks complexity.

    • For companies with more complex inventory needs, additional features in that area could be helpful.
    • The mobile app is great for approvals, but it could support more features from the desktop version.
    • Occasionally, loading reports with a large amount of data takes a few extra seconds.

    If you are looking for prepaid business care or a business expense card, I highly do not recommend using Bento for Business. Do yourself and your business a favor and use a more customer service orientated services such as Pex, Wex, or Expensify. Bento for Business is bad business. Just don't do it.

    Precoro
    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.

    Bento for Business
    • Saving time by eliminating reimbursements
    • Allowing many staff to have a card to make purchases without worrying about financial control/risk of too many people having a company card

    • We can track each purchase order, who created it, and why. They are no longer lost, and we can always see the history. The dashboard allows us to monitor information about all essential documents and at what stage they are now and keep track of which invoices have not yet been paid or partially paid.
    • By setting up budgets for each department, we can effectively plan the allocation and prevent overspending.
    • The system is very flexible and convenient. I can't imagine my work without it.
