LeanDNA vs. Precoro

LeanDNA allows for ease of reporting and analyzing current inventory positions at a company level. LeanDNA drives actions and results that can be easily communicated and dissected. The visual nature of the tool drives users to the most impactful tasks.

Budget tracking on expenditure by departments - Precoro assists with budget tracking on the total budget which is allocated to each department. If the budget has been exhausted an alert is made for exceptional approval to the budget.

Duplication of invoices. When a supplier bills us the same invoice twice, Precoro makes a notification that an invoice with the same number was already uploaded for payment.

• Simple to use interface with high level dashboard and additional widgets for metrics.
• Project and results tracking.
• Forecast vs actuals kept track of for past 6 months to review performance and adjust if necessary.

• Easy tracking of purchase orders with real-time status updates
• 3-way matching of POs, invoices, and receipts to avoid errors
• Built-in commenting to discuss requests and approvals right in the system
• Responsive customer support with live chat — always helpful
• Visual budgeting tools to track spending by department or project
• Product catalog to standardize items across the company
• Mobile-friendly approvals — approve requests from anywhere
• Timely email and in-app notifications to avoid delays
• Easy-to-use interface — no steep learning curve
• Smooth onboarding and quick team adoption

• More supplier portal capabilities (eg. ASN).
• Historical data; items show fixed if they are received. Would like to see these as not fixed, but considered something like not actioned.
• Comment capabilities should be easier. Needs to be more like Excel, able to just enter comments. You have to click too many times to enter comments.

Incentivized

• The "bundles" in Precoro are not actually bundles. I would like to connect 2 of our catalog items together so that when 1 is selected for purchasing, the other item is required
• Sometimes the comments wont properly tag a person that we're trying to tag
• More options to customize the approval workflow based on location
• Ability to edit where we're buying an item from without having to deny the request

At first glance it seemed to be rather difficult in use, but actually it turned out to be much easier [than] we thought. Thanks to the Precoro team we could go through the procurement workflow. Now with [the] right, user-friendly software partner, we are absolutely ready to meet all [our] company's needs.

The customer support team has been in lock step in all of the implementations that we have done with them. The team is very communicative and knowledgeable in the process and platform we operate in.

Precoro is a company, which makes great products for businesses. What is more, it is a team of professionals, who are always keep[ing] in touch with you. Thanks [to] Precoro, we easily go through procurement workflow and manage all of our POs in a couple of minutes. We had a great experience with the Precoro team which helped us with installation of the software.

Training was minimal and actually happened before go[ing] live and should have been ongoing after new changes adapted.

For a simple, easy to implement system, LeanDNA far outpaces the larger companies with lots of "extras". LeanDNA offers a sufficient inventory optimization platform that can be used with almost any ERP system.

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.

• We are in beginning stage of using this for inventory management.

• Our problem before implementing Precoro was a lot of manual tasks, from managing catalogs to creating reports. Now all related processes are in one place, and it's faster to create a purchase order, track it, and get products in time. Also, the overall visibility increased. We can see all purchases and their impacts on our budget. Reports is the most customizable module, so we can get the data we need. Thanks to our CSM for fast onboarding and help!
