It's user interface can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with accounting software, but has many different angles to troubleshoot from when unexpected situations occur. ----- ### "Bellwether has streamlined our entire purchasing process" — 4.0/5 > **MiKayla** | *21 August 2018* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to keep things organized from requistion to approval to ordering. When we can use punchouts, they are awesome. > > **Cons**: It would be nice to be able to upload a packing list/recipt after an item as been received in the system. Sometimes the "Receive" button gets pushed and there's no way to add a packing slip later. It's also a bit confusing at first to have the REQ numbers not match up with PO numbers - they should be different formats or something, otherwise a requisiton of 010530 might become a PO number of 010555 while a prior requisition becomes PO number 010530. It would also be handy to be able to search the list of POs for a certain vendor or item - as it is, you can sort the columns by vendor and find it that way but a search feature would be great. > > Overall it has streamlined our purchasing procedures. ----- ### "Vendor and Purchase tracking just got easier\!" — 4.0/5 > **Tim** | *8 January 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is simple to navigate with user-definable fields. The catalog function allows tracking various vendor pricing and the Requisition/Purchase Order functions allow approval tracking as well as quick reordering without building from scratch. > > **Cons**: Budget tracking views and departmental information can be difficult for the first few purchase entries but that simplifies after regular use. > > Bellwether software has provided the perspective and tracking needed to define and make purchasing decisions quickly with neccessary accountability. ----- ### "Daily Use" — 3.0/5 > **Amad** | *11 August 2023* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This program is fairly easy to use and does well with our daily operation. > > **Cons**: When the PO goes past 15 lines, it is very slow.There is no warning when a duplicate number is added to a PO.When an item is received, sometimes the PO closes completely even though there is still an unreceived item left. ----- ### "A lot of functionality for a moderate investment" — 5.0/5 > **Rosann** | *14 September 2022* | Newspapers | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our primary use is for inventory management and stock requisitioning. The system works very well for those functions and has vastly improved our inventory audits. At the time we purchased (2010), web-based software was just becoming popular and was a huge plus. > > **Cons**: We've been using it for so long now (12 years) that its use is second nature so it is hard to think of a specific "con." I would say at this point in time, one could be that there is not yet have a mobile app. Since the software is used primarily by our distribution team that works from the field, a mobile app that allows them to create and submit stock requisitions would be ideal and further streamline our efficiencies. > > Overall, we've had a very good experience with this software. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/134316/bellwether-purchasing-and-inventory?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/134316/bellwether-purchasing-and-inventory) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
