Cordango Purchase Requests vs RAQOZ Purchase Approvals

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.

RAQOZ Purchase Approvals records purchase requests, applies organisational value and policy rules, and captures the accountable decision before a supplier commitment. Requests can include the need, location, department, value, purpose and supporting evidence. Configured value, category and policy rules identify the approver. That person can approve, reject or record a controlled exception with a reason. Once authorised, a request can continue into RFQ, comparison, award and order without entering the decision again. Material actions retain the actor and timestamp; corrections add new evidence rather than silently overwriting history. RAQOZ is a web workflow aimed at growing businesses moving away from email and WhatsApp approvals, finance and operations teams handling delegated authority, and multi-location groups. It records procurement decisions and payment states, but does not move money or replace an accounting ledger. The Launch plan is free for one organisation, one location and up to five active internal users. Paid plans start at $49/mo billed annually. Slack and Teams connectors are beta; direct ERP connectors are planned. Cyclotron Technologies publishes and operates RAQOZ.
