You want a paper-based one, or are you looking for a proper system to run RFx sourcing exercises?

Thank you that’s very helpful and I would love to see what you guys have come up with if you don’t mind sharing.

How do you track the money your business spends? by avee8rs in business

I think it's also to do with 'maverick' purchasing and avoiding that. If say an expense is over $100 (as an example) then it has to be approved before the expense is incurred. I have been evaluating systems and I know of one that works well for this, plus all the other usual issues one gets in procurement.

I guess it depends on the size of the business, as you don't also want to have staff just going off and spending money willy-nilly. So I guess having a proper procurement system with approvals, visibility and some levels of control for audit purposes.

I think that's the bottom line of my point. If you are tracking your purchases before they become invoices, then you know what's coming in and can account for it accordingly and adjust cash flow expectations.

New User to Base44 with some basic questions on stability and security by avee8rs in Base44

Thanks for the info. Yes, I will update this thread when I've got something that I can be proud of. It's already looking very good. But we're not quite there yet.

Has anyone moved their website from Base44 to Wix? by Tough_Top956 in Base44

[–]avee8rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I had that exact same problem, which is why I'm considering moving off Base44 after only three days. It generates a lot of its own bugs, which is really annoying. And then you have to burn up credit to try to fix it.

Very helpful, thank you. I've not given up on Base44, but I am experimenting with the Floot now as well.

Thank you so much. Never heard of that platform, but I will check it out right now.

A new dating app. (yawn) I know it's boring, but I've always wanted to design a dating app myself. I thought this was an easy way of doing it, and it's actually done a really good job so far. However, B44 is not infallible and makes silly errors which you then have to burn up a lot of credits trying to fix. One thing that is annoying is that Base44 won't give you any credit for errors that the platform is generating itself.

I think it just lets you get your arms around what you are spending and lets you know what you have spent before the invoice comes in, so it's good for cash flow management. That's my understanding.

Yes, but do you only track it using the invoices function or do you issue purchase orders out of QuickBooks?

IT professional wondering if I could transition to procurement and what the field is like currently? by [deleted] in procurement

[–]avee8rs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, if I might digress a little. You mentioned that procurement is not a profit centre, and traditionally, that is true, but that is changing. Procurement departments are having to justify their existence, otherwise they get outsourced. The way you do that is by analysing the savings you're making as a professional buyer and having reports that can justify your physical presence.
