Likelihood to Recommend Precoro is great if you need to keep your organization aware of where in the purchasing process an order is, and if you need a place to communicate about orders & keep a record of those communications. It does not work too well for a variety of purchasing requests - the process lacks complexity.
Read full review Routespring is definitely well suited for companies looking to keep track of all of their employee travel in one place, set a cap on spending for flights, provide reports when needed on travel costs and eliminate the need for employees to collect multiple receipts to turn in for travel reimbursement at the end of a trip. It is a simple platform to use once you get the hang of it, which really doesn't take that long if you are even mildly tech-savvy. As a non-profit with guests who were booking travel to our annual conference from all over the world, we did run into a few things that didn't quite fit (ex: couples booking together have to choose their spouse under the "employees" tab, and we had to make certain we had every single email address domain name our guests were using entered on the backend, so they were able to book with that email address). But these were small details and not deal breakers for us using the platform.
Read full review Pros Editing the catalog data is very easy. We can export/import it from Excel Comparing prices to make the right decisions Fast approvals with specific roles for colleagues Visual analytics and budget control for each department Ability to add as many custom fields as we need to cover all processes Real-time stock control and warehouse request creation right from the inventory module Read full review User-friendly approval process Centralized payments for all travel Excellent & very responsive customer service and account management Flexible budget controls Read full review Cons 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 Read full review It's hard to tell where to go to book a flight right after you create an account. It is a pretty basic design - I think they'd raise confidence in their tech skills even further if the site were a little flashier. The site is geared toward companies whose employees all have the same email address domain. However, they are able to accommodate different email addresses if you provide them so they can add the domains to your account.

Read full review After trying for weeks to (unsuccessfully) set up an account with another online booking agency, we contacted Routespring to see if they could help us based on the great reviews we saw. It took them about three days total to have everything in place and ready for our guests to start booking their flights while ticket prices were still reasonable. They have been attentive to all of our needs, respond quickly and professionally to guest questions, and are a lot of fun to work with as well. We couldn't have asked for a better partner for this project!
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review At the time,
TripActions did not have sufficient price controls or out of policy approval process for us to continue using them. Routespring makes it very easy to have visibility and control on our travel spend
Read full review Return on Investment We can track each purchase order, who created it, and why. They are no longer lost, and we can always see the history. The dashboard allows us to monitor information about all essential documents and at what stage they are now and keep track of which invoices have not yet been paid or partially paid. By setting up budgets for each department, we can effectively plan the allocation and prevent overspending. The system is very flexible and convenient. I can't imagine my work without it. Read full review We've improved travel policy compliance with approval process. We achieve average 97% compliance. We have utilized 83% of the airlines credits with Routespring's automated credit use feature. Overall we have saved 55% by switching to Routespring from TripActions Read full review ScreenShots
