### "Streamlines the entire Procure-to-Pay process" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 November 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Implementing PLANERGY ensures nothing gets lost. We can track orders from creation through approvals, and then an invoice from receipt to payment. We love the ease of creating and approving orders, and also a big benefit is having visibility and control over spend at any time.
> 
> **Cons**: The ability to amend items already added is the only thing that I can think off.  Nothing apart of that, we are happy and satisfied with the product.
> 
> The product is fairly easy and straight forward to use. It helps me and my team track all our IT spending against our approved budget.

### "Ok Purchasing product" — 3.0/5

> **Matt** | *21 August 2014*
> 
> Pros:  It is a very basic system and is not hard to teach someone how to use it.  If you need a basic system just to do minimal purchase monitoring, then this system will work for you.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Cons:  Its very basic.  You can not rely on it to monitor inventory, complex or high volume purchases ($100k+ orders), and worse of all you can not rely on it for credit memos and job spending monitoring.  Customer support is very slow to respond.  Overall would not recommend this system if you are a million dollar + sales business.

### "Efficient, easy and reliable product" — 5.0/5

> **Camille** | *22 May 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I had demo of several purchase control software. I decided to use this software because we needed customized approval rules, custom field on order and this software offered the best value for money we could spend on purchasing software. Software works fine, support is efficient, there was free upgrade to new version.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to have an inventory module, so that we could further manage all received items and manage warehouse.
> 
> We are able to limit department spending and set approval rules with this software.

> 
> Thanks to PLANERGY We have become a company with a streamlined purchasing process and free of unnecessary paperwork. it’s easy to use and perfect for companies with different sites.
