Evaluate functional fit first
Score the workflows your operating teams actually need, including purchase requisitions, approvals, RFQ comparison, purchase orders, supplier management, goods receipt, inventory linkage and multi-site controls.
Compare procurement software vendors on a consistent weighted framework instead of relying only on demos or headline pricing. The CSV is editable in Excel and Google Sheets and includes functional fit, technology, security, implementation, commercial and support criteria.

A procurement platform should be evaluated for APIs, import/export capability, reporting, mobile access and its ability to connect with the systems that already matter to your business.
Compare role-based access, approval controls, audit history, backup and recovery practices, and the evidence each vendor can provide for your requirements.
Licensing is only one part of the decision. Include migration, configuration, training, integrations, implementation support and expected operating effort when comparing total cost of ownership.
The template uses adjustable weights so critical requirements influence the result more than low-value features. Each vendor can be scored from 1 to 5 with supporting evidence and notes.
After scoring, ask shortlisted vendors to demonstrate the same real procurement scenarios using your process language. This makes differences in workflow depth and usability easier to see.
No fake customers, reviews, integrations, certifications or performance claims are published. New evidence can be added without rebuilding the page architecture.
