Acquirell vs. Fourth Procurement and Inventory

It is most appropriate to utilize Acquirell for processing the purchase orders with vendors. If you don't want to onboard the vendors into the system you may easily generate the POs in PDF. Acquirell includes amazing capabilities for running RFI, RFQ, and RFP events. It is very easy to manage purchase requisitions in a single system. Also, the tool is a good fit to manage the complex approval workflow. It is less appropriate to utilize Acquirell for managing contracts because instead of simply editing the text of the contract you should play with the configurations of the contract in the system and fill out various fields

The product is user-friendly in automating the tasks, managing the master data through central purchasing, and creating custom reports. It lacks certain basic functionalities like a record of wastages, sending automated emails confirming if the automatic tasks (scheduled tasks) have been completed or not, and the ability to automate the nutrition information, etc.

• Robust sourcing module with very flexible configurations is a great tool for running RFPs
• We can easily send POs to the suppliers via Acquirell
• The great Contract Management module lets us administrate the contracts easily
• We can easily handle the supplier database

• The 'stock management' tab on the home screen is of particular use when keeping tabs on incoming deliveries into the restaurant.

• Cannot edit the text of the contracts in the Contract Management module just like we were editing it in MS Word
• Accounts Payable is out of scope
• The Supplier Management module is "just okay". Acquirell team should develop features

• It would help massively to see via Enterprise and menu items what ones are no longer active, to keep the data tidy.
• When you take purchase reports from Enterprise and select to organise them by category, show the name of the category on the actual report download.
• Quick and easy upload/download of supplier products for correcting prices, descriptions, prices in bulk.

It really helps us to handle almost all our procurement activities (except the CLM process)

Acquirell team has conducted the Zoom sessions with us to explain and clarify all the details. Their manager Olivia and their product manager Dimitri were really approachable If there arise any issues related to working in the system the Acquirell team is always trying to respond ASAP

Too long to get an answer.

I haven't evaluated any other procurement solutions. Before implementing Acquirell we were using emails, Word, and Excel in our procurement processes. Overall, it is much more convenient to conduct procurement activities in Acquirell rather than to collect the bids via email and keep a bunch of Word or Excel files.

• Now the purchasing team saves a lot of time
• The number of errors has been reduced due to elimination of manual workflow
• Now we do not have to keep a lot of Word, Excel, or PDF files since most of the procurement data is stored in Acquirell. Therefore the data does not get lost

• Procurement: Integrating some of the key suppliers with Trade Simple has saved labour hours.
• Integration: GL Integrations have increased the efficiency and quality of data.
