Procurement Software from Purchase Request to Supplier Invoice

Run the whole supply cycle with purchase management in iCore ERP: from internal purchase requests and supplier quotations, through comparison, awarding and goods receipt, to the supplier invoice. Data moves between stages without re-entry, with approval workflows and budget and quantity control along the way.

Internal purchase requests

The supply cycle starts with an internal purchase request for the items and quantities needed, and its data carries into every later stage without re-entry.

  • Requested quantities tracked
  • No duplicate data entry

Requests for quotation

Send requests for quotation and record the offers suppliers return in one place, ready to compare and decide.

Supplier comparison and awarding

Compare supplier offers on technical and financial terms, and evaluate suppliers before deciding who wins the award.

Issue purchase orders from the awarded offer and route them through your approval workflows before they go out, keeping spending under control.
