What Features Are Missing?
- Automatic Supplier Price Updates: Tradogram’s item list prices outside of the punchout integrations are not automatically updated by suppliers and must be manually updated. To edit these prices in bulk, users must export the items to a CSV file, edit them outside of the software, and then re-upload the data. Automatic updates save time and help users avoid potential budgeting errors when inaccurate prices in purchase orders are approved.

Tradogram sells three plans. Each includes a set number of user seats, and adding more users costs extra on every plan. Save 20% on plans when billed annually.

Alternatives
Summary
We recommend Tradogram for businesses that need to implement a more holistic procurement solution. Tradogram goes beyond basic procurement by including add-ons for tools that also help manage budgets, inventory, and expenses.
Tradogram’s native integrations and REST API make it a great solution for businesses that require connectivity to top ERP and accounting systems. It also integrates with the suppliers you already use, making procurement quick and automated for high-volume teams.
The essentials plan starts at $99/month, making it a solid fit for small and growing businesses. Advanced features such as inventory control, approvals, and requisitions are available in the higher-tiered plans.
Tradogram has some basic tools to manage expenses, but we would not recommend this software to users who need a stronger expense management system. It is more of a well-rounded procurement platform than a strict expense management software.

Everything that we were looking for!
No issues with the program. Everything that we were looking for in a procurement software. The only reason it isn’t a 5-star rating is because there is a certain organizational function that isn’t working well, but there are always new upgrades and advancements, so I’m sure it will be taken care of soon.
