Let’s continue our look at the Tradogram procurement and purchasing software solution for QuickBooks.

In part one, we began a comparison of purchasing and procurement features between QuickBooks Pro/Premier/Enterprise, Online and Tradogram.

For easy reference, here is our handy comparison chart once again:

LET’S KEEP THE FEATURE COMPARISON ROLLING…

• Detailed user security settings – within Traodgram, you can assign each user their role according to your purchasing workflow. This allows..
  • Users only see the enabled features on their account. They get a customized view of the dashboard and only access parts of the software that apply to them.
  • Eliminate clutter and simplify tasks to ensure everyone gets to play their role within the process. The only version of QuickBooks offering anything comparable to this is Enterprise. And it still falls far short compared to Tradogram if detailed user permissions are important to you.

• Vendor item catalog – Tradogram provides the ability to import and organize your items list in an easily accessible database. Modify item information to save time, prevent data discrepancies, and reduce the risk of miscommunications with suppliers.
  • Users can also track the purchase history of each item and set target costs for goods and services that are regularly ordered. Having the ability to link items to approved suppliers offers a significant advantage – you can quickly determine what is associated with each supplier catalog.

• Vendor scorecards – determine your high achievers with Tradogram’s supplier performance rating – a short scorecard that identifies those vendors that should be reused and those that should be dismissed.
  • The performance rating provides your organization with opportunities for improving relationships with vendors.
  • Establish KPIs that maintain high expectations of your suppliers

SOME ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY TO CONSIDER
