Craftable vs PurchaseFlow

Craftable is a hospitality back-office platform for restaurants, hotels, bars, resorts, and food-and-entertainment businesses. It brings purchasing, inventory, accounts payable, and financial reporting into one system. Ordering supports multi-vendor carts, purchase orders, EDI, Punchout, and enhanced catalogs. AP Automation captures invoices, uses AI to extract line items, performs three-way matching, and suggests GL codes. Inventory tools track stock, barcode scans, and transfers among departments and locations. Recipe costing uses live vendor prices to calculate plate costs and compare theoretical with actual COGS. Dashboards combine food cost, labor, and purchasing data to show trends and variances. Craftable lists 60+ POS integrations, 1,000+ vendor connections, and 35+ ERP and accounting integrations, including QuickBooks, Toast, Square, and Acumatica. Full and inventory apps are available for iOS and Android. Its Crafti assistant can examine operational data and draft recipes or purchase orders for approval. Pricing is available on request.

PurchaseFlow is an operating platform for purchasing, finance, stock, expenses and compliance across multi-site businesses. Its buying workflow covers multi-supplier baskets, requisitions, approvals and purchase orders, with budget checks when a request is made. Invoice Intelligence verifies invoice fields, matches invoices against purchasing records and checks for fraud, duplicates and calculation errors. Inventory counts, stock values and predictive ordering connect stock activity to purchasing and site usage; staff expenses, emailed receipts and mileage claims follow the same approval and finance controls. Supplier Management covers onboarding, agreements, performance scoring and rebate tracking through a supplier portal. Financial reports break spend down by site, supplier, category, cost code and project, with audit-ready exports. The site names Xero, Sage and NetSuite, alongside an open API and accounting and ERP integrations. PurchaseFlow says it is UK-hosted on AWS, Cyber Essentials certified and GDPR compliant, and supports SSO and SAML. Standard plans require a bespoke quote, with monthly or annual billing; the Startup Program offers early-stage operators with one to four sites full platform access for the first two sites free for 12 months, with application required. Paid pilots are available for one or two sites.
