i-curate vs PurchaseFlow

i-curate is a procurement platform connecting supplier search, ordering, approvals, receiving, credits, invoicing, payments and reporting. Buyers can combine products from approved suppliers in one basket, then use favourites, templates and recurring orders. Rules can control approvals and budgets by user, site, department, cost centre, product, category or value. Receiving workflows match goods, delivery notes, catch weights and supplier amendments to orders, while transaction histories support credit requests. Reporting breaks spending down by site, group, supplier, category, product or user and can highlight exceptions. Finance, ERP, stock and supplier data connect through API and EDI. Amazon Business products can be included in consolidated purchasing and invoicing. Direct Pay links eligible supplier payments to their orders and audit trails, subject to agreement and eligibility. Role-based permissions, restrictions and activity history are included. i-curate is presented for care, hospitality, pubs and facilities management, including multi-site organizations. 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.
