Precoro vs. Stampli

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.

The Stampli tech is very good in processing our transactions and linking to our accounting system. And even for any pain points encountered, we have worked with their tech and customer rep teams (specifically [...]) to promptly resolve the matter in a seamless and pain free way (unlike our previous invoice processing provider).

• 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

• Learning - Billy the bot learns much quicker than our previous OCR.
• Global lookup - we have multiple entities which creates a challenge for finding invoices entered in the wrong place. Stampli has removed this issue.
• Maximizing manpower - reduces the need for more personnel.

• For companies with more complex inventory needs, additional features in that area could be helpful.
• The mobile app is great for approvals, but it could support more features from the desktop version.
• Occasionally, loading reports with a large amount of data takes a few extra seconds.

• Only 1 template for vendor onboarding--we have multiple vendor "types" that would benefit from having tailored invites to the vendor portal
• The software doesn't locate invoice details (such as invoice total) after the 1st page
• Invoice discrepancy reporting could be easier and more robust

I cannot imagine going back to pre-Stampli processes. Our jobs in the Accounting department (not just AP) have all become more engaging because we've cut out so much mindless, non-value added work: data entry, signing checks, stuffing envelopes, stamping envelopes, etc.

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.

A lot of checks and balances in the system that are an accountant's dream - just takes some time to understand the new process to get up to speed.

Never an issue with downtime

Very fast and no issues with the Sage Intacct integration

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.

We have a dedicated rep (who was also our implementation rep--they stay with you after implementation) who we can email whenever needed and meet with every quarter. There is a chat option within the software that gets responded to by a real person within minutes.

Excellent documentation, step-by-step instructions

We lost an AP employee right as we were deciding to implement, so we had to speed up our timeline. We went from signing the contract to fully functional system within 4 weeks. We did not dedicate any more than 4 hours per week during the implementation.

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.

Tipalti was not system friendly to what we needed (syncing with NetSuite) and the implementation process was frustrating. We experienced delays and no responses from their team. Stampli has been the complete opposite! It's user friendly, from approvers to coders, reasonably priced, and their team members are responsive, caring, and genuine in getting you set up for success

I would not change anything

Ease of deployment both domestic and international

• 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.

• The best testament to Stampli is that is has decreased DTP (days to process) by over 3 days.
• It has transformed invoice approval. No invoices are being sent duplicate times for approval by error. Stampli does a great job at identifying duplicate invoices.
