Best procurement & purchase software for manufacturers in India

Procurement software takes purchase requests through approvals, quotations, purchase orders, receipts and invoice matching, with vendor records and spend analytics on top. Mid-size manufacturers, hospitals, hotel groups and construction firms buy it when email-and-Excel purchasing stops scaling. For manufacturers specifically, raw material, work-in-progress and finished goods all need separate tracking.

What manufacturers need from procurement & purchase software

  • Raw material, work-in-progress and finished goods all need separate tracking
  • Job work and subcontracting have their own GST treatment and challan trail
  • Shop-floor staff work shifts, and attendance rarely fits a nine-to-five model
  • Costing has to account for wastage and rework, not just the bill of materials
  • Quality records and certifications are demanded by larger customers
