Here's 1 of the 12 criteria that matter most

Every criterion tells you what to look for, what to watch out for, and exactly what to ask in the demo.

01

Supplier coverage, every channel

Look for

Direct integration with your biggest suppliers, punchout for e-commerce suppliers, and OCR that reads emailed quotes, sales orders, and invoices.

Watch out for

“Integration” that only means PDF upload. Per-supplier connection fees.

Ask in the demo

“Send a PO to one of our suppliers and show the acknowledgment coming back.”

ERP and accounting integration

Visual catalog and product data

Real-time pricing and availability

Field adoption and ease of use

Full procure-to-pay workflow

Invoice matching and AP automation

Reporting and spend visibility

Implementation and support

Construction specialization

Scalability across branches

Vendor stability and partnership
