Tradogram headquartered in Ottawa offers their cloud-based procurement software, designed to provide complete spend control, purchase order management, and more at an affordable rate.
Suitable: Simple indirect procurement. Low cost; short cycle implementation. Less Suitable: Complex procurement scenario requiring serious vendor collaboration. End-to-end integration. Direct Material Procurement, especially when planning, quality inspection, and other miscellaneous activities are involved, requires handling various special statuses and updates to meet industry- or country-specific requirements.
If your business is focused on one specific product or small in scope, Tradogram should be able to suit your needs. If you require simplistic reporting without in depth project codes and details, it does provide basic functionality that is very well suited for small enterprise. Companies that do all of their purchasing with POs will find it to be useful. If you are able to operate without needing it to plug back into a comprehensive ERP system, it should be sufficient.
With one particular customer I have had about 40 emails to be accepted as a vendor. With other customers before Coupa became horrendous I had no problems. As an existing Coupa user why do I have to create a new profile?
I have been accepted as a user 3 times then a day later Coupa wants the same form filled again and again.
Help is only on a chat line. You cannot speak to anyone and in my opinion they are not helpful. Their suggstions have gotten me nowhere. They refer me to talk with my customer to straighten out the problem. My cusotmer doesn't have a clue.
I'm considering not to accept purchase orders that require invoicing through Coupa.
-Could be easy or hard to use depending on corporate policies and compliance. At times, errors and cryptical message associated with them could drive users mad.
-Support is generally speaking OK (not great). The user community is quite active, and the response time is acceptable. I would certainly hope there's more user-generated content (like in SAP, Oracle, and Linux, etc.), but I suppose Coupa is still not large enough, and the incentives are not yet there.
Coupa fits within our desire to have best of breed systems delivering value to our organization. We generally work with true cloud providers that are available anytime, anywhere for our mobile workforce. We are pleased that Coupa is in our lineup of service solutions.
We evaluated Procurify as part of our initial scope conversations. Ultimately, we felt that the price point was outside of what we could support and went with the lesser cost of Tradogram instead.
The Sourcing Module has returned our investment 23 times on an annualized basis.
We're now SOX compliant and as a public company, that's keeping us compliant with our corporate charter.
Having one central invoicing location has reduced our AP calls significantly. Our suppliers now have visibility into where their invoice is in the payment cycle. We also have a much higher invoice-to-pay cycle.
The product was priced very well as we made the transition from a homegrown internal system.
The need to pay to customize the system to do what we need it to do has been cumbersome.
The API connection back to our ERP system has not been optimal and has required us to engage with outside parties to assure that it is working properly.
