We’ve just expanded to three locations, and our procurement process is all over the place. I’m looking for a platform that can handle multi-location purchasing while keeping everything centralized and cost-effective. Do you guys know of anything that actually works?
We struggled with that after opening our second branch. People were ordering things their own way, and reconciling all the purchases felt impossible. Every site had its own process, and we had zero consistency.
I ran into the same wall when we opened our Cape Town office. At first, we tried using shared docs and Slack approvals, but it quickly turned into chaos. I spent two weekends comparing tools and ended up finding precoro from a procurement case study on distributed teams. It checked all the boxes — multi-location support, central tracking, and flexible user roles. Within weeks, we had one procurement flow for all sites, and we finally had control over spending patterns across the board. It not only brought order to the process but also revealed ways we could consolidate vendors and cut costs.
