What is Acquirell?

Acquirell is a SaaS procurement technology suite solution tailored to SMBs. Acquirell enables businesses to save the time of their procurement teams by eliminating manual workflow and automating the procurement process. The E-Sourcing module of Acquirell enables the companies to attain more savings on purchased volume by conducting various forms of sourcing events.


Acquirell helps to eliminate the following issues that SMBs face in their day-to-day operations:

*Making errors while managing the procurement processes manually with such tools as Word, Excel, Email, paper sheets, etc.

*Inability to process purchasing requests from various departments and employees due to growing purchasing volume.

*Waste of time that stems from the manual execution of all procurement and sourcing activities.

*Miscommunication issues both internally, within a company, and externally with the suppliers caused by inconvenient utilization of multiple communication channels.

Acquirell includes the key following modules:

REQUISITIONING - Collect and process purchase requests across all departments and employees. Employees may simply submit their request at the touch of a button. Design approval routes of any complexity to review the requests.

PO PROCESSING - Create POs and send them to suppliers in a single system.

CONTRACT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT - minimize errors and reduce time spent by automating all stages of working with contracts: from initiating to archiving. Ensure compliance.

E-SOURCING - purchase the key strategic items at the best possible prices through running various forms of sourcing events: from RFQs sent to all suppliers to Auctions.

SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT - record all interactions with suppliers and develop SRM strategy in one system. Accredit suppliers and create a preferred supplier list.

Now we can easily handle PO processing and running RFI, RFQ, and RFP events with Acquirell. Also, we keep and manage our requisitions in a single system just by adding line items (or requirements as it is called in Acquirell) to the requisitions. However, we decided not to use their Contract Management module.
It is very easy to communicate within a team and with vendors regarding our purchases through Acquirell
The tool enables us to manage almost all procurement processes and move them from Excel, Word, Email, etc.
It is easy to review the quotes through Acquirell instead of collecting bids via Email

  • Good PO processing capabilities
  • A robust Sourcing Module where we run our RFI, RFQ, and RFP events
  • Requisitioning module that allows keeping requisitions in electronic form instead of sending emails that are always being lost
  • Communication that is recorded in the system
  • Approval Routes features that let us handle our complex approval flow
  • 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 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
  • PO processing
  • Sourcing
  • Requisitioning
  • Approval Routes
  • We have reduced the time waste required for doing purchase activities manually by around 30%
  • It became more convenient for the procurement team to keep the purchasing in one system instead of handling various files in various places. Also, it is easier for managers to review these activities
  • Now we avoid some misunderstandings because all the communication is recorded

Some of them are the members of our procurement team (other buyer and our assistants). They are directly involved into PO processing and conducting RFI, RFQ, and RFP events.
Some of them are the leads of other teams that are submitting their purchase requisitions
Some of them are the managers that review and approve (or disapprove) the purchases
Acquirell is a SaaS solution, so the system is maintained by the Acquirell team. Therefore there is no need to hire programmers or anyone else to operate and maintain the system. If I understand the question right.
  • Streamlining our PO processing
  • Simplifying and digitizing RFI, RFQ, and RFP events
  • Digitizing requisitioning
  • Approval workflow management
  • If Acquirell team will improve their Contract Management module then we will use it to streamline our CLM process
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
No. There are no Premium support options
Yes
Yes, it was resolved quickly
There was a situation related to PO creation. I've got an issue while attaching the line items (requirements) to the PO. Then I submitted a support request and the Acquirell team resolved the issue within 2-3 hours. Besides just resolving an issue, Olivia (the Acquirell manager) has conducted a Zoom session with me about how we can work with POs in Acquirell more easily. The session was conducted for free

1. We run RFPs via Acquirell eSourcing Module
2. We consolidate all critical tools like POs, Contracts, Supplier Database, and eSourcing in a single system
3. We can initiate a contract just after finalizing RFP event
4. We can conduct supplier prequalification before running sourcing activities

Mainly, Acquirell enables us to automate the main processes in our procurement activities: PO and Contract Management, RFPs, 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
  • Requisitioning is not convenient. It seems a bit complicated.
  • There is no invoicing. It is necessary to attach separate files. I hope that Acquirell team will develop invoicing capabilities, so we will not have to attach separate files.
  • The tool is mostly designed for procuring physical items than services. We had to play with the evaluation criteria to tailor Acquirell to our processes. We are procuring services more than physical products.
Acquirell is well-suited when it comes to running RFP events. The flexible configurations and broad functionality of the Acquirell eSourcing module allow us to run RFPs with ease. It is much more convenient to run RFPs in Acquirell than collecting the bids via email and analyzing them manually.

Acquirell is less appropriate when it comes to collecting the requisitions. There are confusing terms "requirements" and "requisitions." And it is a bit complicated to configure these "requirements."
  • eSourcing
  • PO management
  • Contract management
  • Supplier relationship manangement
  • 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
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.
