Choosing procurement & materials software

Questions to ask on every demo

• Which suppliers and distributors can I order from through it?
• Can it pull material lists from my takeoff or estimate?
• How are quotes compared, and can I keep my negotiated pricing?
• How do I track a delivery, and who is notified of a delay?
• Is there a cost to my suppliers?

What to watch for

• A marketplace is only useful if your suppliers are on it.
• Check whether pricing shown is live or a list price.

If you are a small firm

Ask your main supplier what ordering tools they already offer before adding a new one.
