eRequisition vs SpendMap

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.

SpendMap automates corporate purchasing, covering requisitions and approvals, purchase orders, supplier invoice approval, and inventory control. Its free version provides Purchase Orders and Receiving for one user, with email and web-based support. Paid plans use per-user, per-module pricing: Pro is listed at $15 a month, with a $15 minimum and $150/month shown; Enterprise is $20 a month, with a $20 minimum and $300/month shown. SpendMap can show current budget information during ordering and approvals, then block over-budget transactions or route them for further approval. It lists more than 30 integrations, including QuickBooks, Sage, and Microsoft Dynamics, alongside file imports and exports and API access. The mobile web app supports requisition entry, approvals, and receiving on phones and tablets. SpendMap Cloud includes Microsoft Azure hosting, updates, technical support, setup assistance, and training. An on-premise version with one-time or perpetual licensing is available, with details by request. The company identifies businesses with 50 to 1,000 employees as its mid-market sweet spot and focuses the product on indirect purchasing.
