Tradogram

Vorteile

What I value most about Tradogram is its intuitive design and user-friendly interface, which make it incredibly easy to navigate and manage procurement processes. The customer support is exceptional; I appreciate the instant chat feature that allows for real-time assistance and the fact that all communications are conveniently saved and emailed. Additionally, the continuous updates and improvements to the system demonstrate a commitment to user satisfaction and efficiency. The software also excels in record-keeping, forecasting, and maintaining historical data, which are essential for effective budgeting and approvals.

Nachteile

While Tradogram generally meets our procurement needs effectively, one aspect I find less favorable is the limited customization options. It would be beneficial to have the ability to disable certain features that we don’t use to streamline our workflow. Additionally, the unit of measure settings can sometimes complicate the procurement process when they’re not necessary for our operations. Lastly, we’ve encountered some issues with vendor communication, as emails sent through Tradogram tend to land in the vendors’ spam folders.

Vorteile

Most of the system is quite intuitive and easy to use. It does require some training but not much. You have to get the settings right, but that is to be expected. Some things you can't be sure of until you throw this into action. Feel like we have a high degree of control.

Nachteile

The app looks good but was a bit buggy. Also I believe the analytics could be a lot more extensive and have more graphs and standardised reports.

Vorteile

The product quality is awesome as it is very convenient for users.

Nachteile

There are no difficulties in managing organisation purchases through Tradogram.

Vorteile

For the most part it is user friendly, when cart scan worked it was easier to create large purchase orders but for some reason it stopped working last year.

Nachteile

When creating a PO the program asks for how many line/items you will be ordering, why can't this program have the lines numbered. For example if I have 200 McMaster parts ordered when I receive the PO there are no numbers (numerically) just part numbers. Just saying most packing lists from distributors have the numbers next to the lines. This would make receiving and inventorying much more efficient. We need some better software for cart scan. When this program was working PO's were a lot easier to submit rather than copying and pasting every single box in each line. Then when looking/receiving a PO then clicking back one page the server times out and you receive a red box which says I am not allowed to go back, all of my filters do not reset. There should be tracking options available with PO's instead of having to directly contact distributors and trying to figure out lead times on PO's.

Vorteile

It is very easy to input a purchase order or a requisition.

Nachteile

Nothing really at this time. I wish it did accept more options to upload pictures.

Vorteile

Relative ease of entry of requisitions. Navigation is pretty simple. I like the ability to attach files to requisitions and Purchase Orders.

Nachteile

The ability to search for past purchases. If I crated a requisition but the PO was created by the purchasing department I cannot filter searches by myself and the vendor because each is only true in one or the other not both. Since there is no ability to select a vendor in the requisition it is not possible to easily group purchases that I made form a specific vendor.

Vorteile

I like the system because it is very fast and i can clone a close PRF if of the same requisition. Basically, it is a good system and with the new interface, am sure we shall learn to peruse through it and also be well versed with it. I would also suggest that, if possible, to add a notification alert for the end user when a PRF has been fulfilled/closed.

Nachteile

Teh least about Tradogram is the fact that we can't save in real time while raising a PRF. The moment you lose power or any interruption with the internet, all inputs are lost, and one has to redo the whole process again.

Vorteile

The system is very user friendly and get support.

Nachteile

I don't have any reservation in the system.

Vorteile

I liked the transparency and open-ness,
It notifies you after each approval for easy follow up.

Also, it provides a notification in case of any edits or modifications on the request, enhancing transparency.

Nachteile

In some cases, there are too many approvers - which causes delay in requisition final submission/completion.

Vorteile

Once it's properly set up, it's pretty simple to use!

Nachteile

Honestly, the whole software is pleasant and straighforward.

Vorteile

100% visibility of our spending. The flow of data among modules makes it very friendly and efficient to take actions available including report generation within each module. The flexibility to edit POs once issued is a plus. Very clear and easy to navigate dashboard feature. The very soon-to-be most liked in the near future is the smartphone App. Eagerly awaiting its deployment!

Nachteile

Tradogram comes with no basic written instructions to use its modules and grasp the flow of data. It is a simple software but that would save the many hours taken to become familiar.

Vorteile

easy to use, complete package, it meets all the requirements

Nachteile

none, i do not have any cons on tradogram

Vorteile

Ease of use in creating expense request and invoices.

Nachteile

Budget tracking seems to be a challenge

i like all the features of tradogram,it would be better if the default option for currency is changed.

Could use more customizable reports for receiving parts

Vorteile

easy to see what is needed

Nachteile

some vendors are not on here, which we has several vendors we use on here

Vorteile

accessibility for all user, very friendly, much appreciated

Nachteile

It lacks integration with inventory and supply chain management, needs much effort

Vorteile

Our organization was quoted $75,000 to create an online grocery ordering platform for our nonprofit that provides services to older adults. We found Tradogram and worked with the team to customize the software to meet our needs. Tradogram is versatile and easy to use. It has totally transformed how we provided services and allowed us to grow our organization. It’s really fun to use the program for something totally different from what it is intended.

Nachteile

We needed the purchase order to sort items on the pdf but it did not have the functionality to meet our needs. We worked with the developers and they quickly and efficiently solved our problem and created a sort function!!

Vorteile

Inventory, deliveries, and contract management.
Tech support.
Report issuance.

Nachteile

Needs more refinement in certain modules such as adding tracking delivery in Expenses.
Requests are to restrictive. There should be more adaptable such as adding files in chats with vendors and more flexibility to modify.
Ability to interact with other platforms such as Google suite and project management software.
When sending emails to vendors, there should be a capability to send to more than one.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Tradogram

Vorteile

Fast service and supportive to my activity

Nachteile

Requisition initiation and processing of procruiment of items

Vorteile

It's easy and straightforward yet still powerful. I've searched and searched and demoed so many programs and tradogram is the only one that has been powerful enough to use the way we need, yet simple enough that the ramp-up time is nearly non-existent.

Nachteile

I wish it were more customizable. I don't use some of the functionality so I wish it could be hidden. There are also a few categories I wish I could change or delete because it doesn't reflect my business and never will. Overall, these are VERY minor complaints.

Vorteile

The fields are easy to fill in- it prompts me quickly to what I need to do next, or what I've missed. I like having a draft and the dashboard is super helpful.

Nachteile

Having to stop and lose my info sometimes to go and create a Supplier if I don't realize that supplier hasn't been used before. Sometimes I can't save a draft and I can't go forward until I've left to create the supplier. I can't get a specific but the search for PO's specifically has never worked for me (like putting in the PO number) not your system, maybe me. There are other aspects of search that are great.

Vorteile

The PO system is easy, training materials are useful

Nachteile

Too many enhancement required in order to be fit for purposes, not able to work as an ERP system, too many manual edit in each fields & setting area

Vorteile

The procurement / purchasing module was simple to use, easy to track orders, receive orders, and search for frequently used items in my catalogue.

Nachteile

The inventory module could use some development to make it more user friendly.

Vorteile

Its end to end supply chain and procurement software. Even it helps for financial approval and payments.

Nachteile

Placec to attach the Technical evaluation report.

Vorteile

We are able to use Tradogram with ease. It's quite convenient

Nachteile

It needs a bit more flexibility in terms of searchability of items. It's difficult when you type the wrong item name, then you can't find the item. There should be some alarms if you are adding a similar item.
Also I wish it could generate an inventory report with the $ value of the items for accounting purposes and not merely the qty of the items in stock

Vorteile

Tradogram allows you to fully digitally transform your procurement process with very little effort and cost.

Nachteile

Easy to setup
Easy of use
Always up and running.

Vorteile

Requisitions, Purchase orders, Invoices and online approve all.

Nachteile

When information sync Quick Book then we update information then can't sync update information to Quick book.

Vorteile

I liked that it has more options on naming PO's and lets me keep track of what is has arrived/been delivered. Also lets me check my own items as delivered. In the item description having a link back to the items web page has been really helpful for quick reordering.

Nachteile

Not being able to split line items to two different codes.
It glitches and changes the code I assigned something too and then I have to recreate a PO from scratch to fix it.
Adding tax and other expenses is clunky and adds extra unnecessary clicking.

Vorteile

Efficient Procurement Processes with Transparent Oversight.

Nachteile

Tradogram lacks PDF to Excel/Word conversion functionality.

Vorteile

It was easy to select what I wanted and to make my purchase.

Nachteile

I prefer to order using the item numbers but I have noticed that the items numbers frequently changes. And if the item name is spelled slightly correctly, even if it is one letter it will stated item not founded. I wish the picture of the item could be made bigger to view.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and ensures only necessary information is written.
Cloning, saving and editing are really good functions.

Nachteile

The approval process restarts when a request is rejected.
It is impossible to add an expense line i.e. the expense line we submitted may not be all-encompassing therefore, some expenses are put under wrong expense lines.
It is also impossible to remove a wrong attached document. You will need to delete everything just to replace a document uploaded by mistake.

Vorteile

It's quite easy to go around Tradogram - easy to user even for a first timer.

Nachteile

It has a lot of fields one has to fill in, more time is taken on that.

Vorteile

Easy to work on, control the process of purchasing orders

Nachteile

None. I am satisfied with this system ,

Vorteile

It helps know if your spendings are within Budget

Nachteile

It requires more details when adding a supplier

Vorteile

It has reduced the use and movement from one office to the other and waiting for signing especially when they are not available. Approving officers can work wherever they are reducing delay.

Nachteile

Does not alert you when action is over delayed

Vorteile

Fast and easy utilization from different platforms.

There is nothing that I dislike about Tradogram

Unclear documentation concerning learning how to use the features of Tradogram.

Tradogram is a very easy to use and intuitive platform.

Nachteile

Tradogram has a lot of features that i do not use, so my dashboard always seems full however there are only about 2 or 3 functions i use.

It is very helpful to determine errors. I found it useful for companies managing inventory.

Nachteile

It was hard to use since I don't know much about statistics.

Vorteile

As we have restricted our usage of applications only for generating the PO I like how user-friendly the PO management is.

Nachteile

I can not think of anything that I could not do on Tradogram. :)

Vorteile

The system allows maker checker principle as it allows several levels of approval matrix

Most reports generated have duplicate entries making it hard to review data
