Purchase Order and Approval Software
Tradogram: features, pricing and who it fits
For $99 a month, Tradogram's Essentials plan handles POs, suppliers and AP invoices. Requisitions, receiving, punchout and live budgets cost extra or need Premium. Reviewers like raising requests but mention approval friction, timeouts and the odd bug.

Best for
- Very small teams wanting POs and AP at $99/month
- Teams on QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite or Sage
Look elsewhere if
- Teams needing requisitions, RFx or budget control at the entry price (add-on or Premium)

Pros and cons

- Easy to use, especially raising purchase requests
- Approval notifications and visibility into edits
- Tracking purchase orders and spend
- Responsive live chat support
Common complaints
- Approval workflow friction: many approvers delay submission and rejection restarts approval
- Cannot add expense lines or remove one attached document without deleting all
- Occasional bugs, server timeouts and interface slowdowns
- Supplier emails sometimes land in spam
Integrations, security and hosting
- Data residency
- Multi-region hosting included in Scale, add-on for other plans; regions not named
- Implementation
- Vendor timeline: workflows live in 1 to 4 months, 4 to 6 months to streamline, 6 to 9 months for savings, 9+ months to scale across entities; Implementation & Setup is a paid add-on
Worth knowing before you buy
- The $99 Essentials plan excludes requisitions, receiving, RFx, budget tracking and contracts; they are add-ons or Premium (20+ users).
- SSO, API access and ERP integrations are paid add-ons on every plan.
- Vendor's own timeline: day one signup, 1 to 4 months to configure and go live, which is long for an SMB tool.
- Multi-region hosting is only on Scale.
