“Many appreciated features and integration”
Pros
There are many aspects I appreciate: 1. The look and feel: it's tidy and makes sense. 2. The ability to split material types on a site request to get quotes from different vendors. 3. Stock monitoring: this has been excellent for us. We never really tracked stock before and would run short because items bought for one job got used on another. 4. Seeing real costs versus planned costs on one screen. Our operations team loves this. 5. Communication between our site crews and suppliers. We had some damaged goods that our receiver noted. The vendor was alerted immediately and replied within the platform that same day about shipping replacements. 6. The option to set permissions and decide how many sign-offs are needed before an order goes through. 7. The strong link with our main business system (Vista). 8. The AI tool that reads a picture of a delivery ticket and automatically checks off the received items.
Cons
We assumed material receipts would automatically update in Vista but they don't. The team is collaborating with us to fix this.

“simple for purchase orders”
Pros
Truly I love how simple the platform is to operate and handle purchase orders. It makes the accounts payable process very easy and seeing our crews add proof of delivery and photos directly to the order gives us confidence before we pay!love it!
Cons
Nothing significant.. having more columns on the purchase order would be helpful particularly a length column since many of our items require it. This is being developed so it's barely a problem. It's minor but I'd rather purchase orders were in portrait orientation instead of landscape.
