BlueCart vs Millum Procurement

BlueCart is wholesale business software connecting food and beverage distributors with restaurants, cafes, hotels, and other foodservice buyers. It combines a digital storefront, buyer-specific catalogs and pricing, order management, inventory tracking, delivery routes, invoicing, payment collection, and buyer CRM. Buyers and suppliers can create, track, and fulfill purchase orders, including recurring orders and invoice-to-PO matching. Endless Aisle shows vendor catalogs to buyers in their delivery areas, while Pricing Insights groups products as Great Value, Good Value, or Fair Value. BlueCart Pay supports credit card, bank transfer, and ACH payments, with invoice and payment status tracking. A sales rep app lets field teams view catalogs, manage buyer accounts, place orders, review order history, and check delivery status. BlueCart documents a REST API using AWS Signature authentication v4 and JSON responses; it handles one object per request and does not support bulk updates. The BlueCart for Buyers iPhone app requires iOS 15.6 or later. Pricing varies with selected features and is available on request.

Millum Procurement is a purchasing system for hotels, restaurants and canteens, covering work from ordering through invoicing. It runs on Android, iOS and the web, and is designed for small and large businesses joining individually or through a purchasing organization. Users can search products, browse supplier catalogs, build shopping lists and set recurring orders. Order handling includes archives, confirmations, packing slips, goods receipt and discrepancy reporting. The Menu Bank supports recipes, costing, labeling and sharing, and can retrieve nutrition and allergen details from Matinfo. Inventory counts can be shared and completed online or offline on a mobile device or tablet; prices can be updated from supplier catalogs. Optional modules include menu planning, a CO2 calculator, food-waste tracking, free-text ordering, invoice services and Millum Insight. Integrations include Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Xledger, Basware, Mashie, Izy, Matinfo and Validoo. Millum says these are tailored to customer systems, and some integration projects require customer or third-party adaptations. Pricing is on request; a trial of the purchasing module may be arranged for a few users and selected suppliers.
