Cordango Purchase Requests vs eRequisition

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.

eRequisition is web-based software for managing purchase requisitions and purchase order approvals. A request can pass through a customized workflow with up to six reviewers; after approval, it can become a purchase order in QuickBooks or NetSuite. Integrations are listed for QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and NetSuite. The Desktop connection requires an eRequisition agent on the system containing the QuickBooks company file. The standalone plan supports Excel imports for locations, vendors, items, charts of accounts, classes, ship methods, and terms. Teams can track purchases across departments, vendors, and items and analyze historical buying data. Other listed tools include email approvals, vendor creation, attachments, internal chat, configurable roles and permissions, approval limits, routing, and approval history. The homepage states that eRequisition is SOC 2 Type II certified, and plans include chat and email support. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Monthly single-user plans are $11.99 a month for QuickBooks Online, $15 a month for standalone, and $30 a month for NetSuite or QuickBooks Desktop.
