Cimmra Expenses vs Cordango Purchase Requests

Cimmra Expenses manages employee expense claims from receipt submission through reimbursement. Employees can submit receipt photos or PDFs in a browser, where OCR converts them into digital claim lines. The software checks limits by category, employee grade, and location when a claim is entered, and can route exceptions for higher approval. Mileage and per-diem entries are calculated using policy rates. Approved claims are handed off to payroll or accounts payable, while employees can follow claim status through payment. Cimmra lists integrations with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Tally, Oracle NetSuite, and REST or SOAP APIs. Employees can capture claims and receipt photos from any device through a browser; the product is also listed as available through an API. Cimmra presents its software as procurement software for enterprise organizations and states alignment with ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR guidelines, and India's DPDP Act 2023. Pricing is on request, and the Expenses page invites prospective customers to book a demo. Cimmra's terms say new clients may receive a one-time, limited-period free trial at its discretion, without specifying a duration.

Cordango Purchase Requests is a purchasing form that routes approvals according to the amount requested. A request can include line items, supplier quotes, and the budget line intended to fund it. Smaller requests can stop at a manager, while larger ones can go to finance and management; users cannot approve their own requests. The app records the approval decision trail and actual purchase cost alongside the estimate. It is built on Budget & Spend Tracker, which installs with it and records approved commitments against budget lines. Optional companion apps include Asset Register, which receives purchased hardware, and Vendor & SaaS Management, which can start a draft request when a vendor is approved. The official app is version 0.4.0 and includes sample data. Cordango says its platform has single sign-on, roles, permissions, and a shared audit trail, and is hosted in Germany on EU infrastructure. Its published GDPR data processing agreement is a draft, not yet contractually binding. Cordango lists a free Solo plan for one person; Company plans require at least five people.
