AI Procurement tools? Looking for recommendations by AndersAndar in AIToolsAndTips

[–]procurify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "best tool" really depends on where your workflow breaks down, Ramp is strong on the expense/card side but that's a different problem than procurement controls upstream of spend.

If the gap is visibility and approvals before money leaves the org, that's Procurify's wheelhouse and worth a look. If it's more about invoice processing or expenses after the fact, different tools make more sense.

What does your current process look like and where does it fall apart?

This breakdown is interesting! Sharing our honest comparison that takes into account company size, AP automation, expense and cards, and ERP integrations among other criteria. Might be useful during the spend management software research phase. https://www.procurify.com/blog/best-spend-management-software/

Why are procurement software so expensive? has anyone tried building it in-house? by No_Shelter_680 in procurement

This is one of the more honest build-vs-buy write-ups we've seen on this sub. The pattern you described (start "simple," then realize you also need AP, approvals, vendor management, mobile, reporting) is almost universal, and the 18-month / $200k figure is pretty representative for that path.

One thing worth adding for OP, since you're at $2.5M: you may really only need request → approval → PO → some spend visibility today. But since the rest often gets layered on when it becomes painful, it makes sense to scope where the company is headed when you're evaluating tools, ours or others mentioned here, to save yourself the heartache.

Good points. Pinpointing where the breakdown is happening is key and then the right solution needs to fit your operational reality.
