Birchstreet eProcurement vs. Corcentric Source-to-Pay Platform

It is well suited for large companies with an A/P department for processing electronic and check payments for invoices. I would struggle to find it of much value if the hotel property was cutting the checks itself.

Incentivized

It is well suited for applications which has centralized data system. For desperate databases, big performance hit could be unavoidable.Web based Sales solutions which could be easily unplugged from big infrastructure and to be used in field with no need of network connectivity or front office availability would be ideal candidates for CPQ

• It has a purchase order system for supported vendors.
• It allows for quick entry of invoices to submit for payment.
• It has the ability to manage capital purchases.

Incentivized

• Pricing engine is a big plus in CPQ.
• The flex modeling supported in CPQ increases the model efficiency by eliminating unwanted options
• Integrating external tools into selectica by exporting out xmls make it easier

• It will periodically be unavailable due to technical difficulties.
• Sometimes invoices will appear twice in the system even though it's supposed to detect and delete duplicates.

Incentivized

• Model builder's sluggishness.

Unless CPQ is available on cloud or available as platform as service, I am less likely to consider it again. The initial cost involved is high and also the time required for that.

Have no experience with competitors.

Incentivized

I used Saleslogix.

• It has produced significant time savings allowing properties to forgo the position of property accountant/controller.
• It has streamlined the reporting of expenses on the profit and loss statements.

Incentivized

• yes, faster lead conversion as Field sales team rely less on main office
• reduced sales cycle.
• Reduced Sales overheads, deal closure can happen at client location.
