ESM Purchase vs. Alternatives in 2023

ESM Purchase two main competitors are Coupa Procurement and EPMX.

EPMX is a procurement solution that is available as an on premise, hosted as well as cloud based solution. It supports a modular architecture that includes modules for requisitions, purchasing & invoicing, receiving & inventory, as well as quotations & RFQs. Additionally the product can detail vendor supply, delivery & quality histories to determine supplier ratings to better inform procurement decisions. Finally it can integrate easily to third party software where a specialized procurement solution is required.

ESM Purchase on the other is a cloud based e-procurement solution that supports integration to ERP systems as well as access via mobile devices. Its features include workflow management, supplier catalogs & requisitions, e-commerce shopping carts for supplier purchases and invoicing support. Additionally the product allows customization to meet business rules and regulations, and provides an online community to connect preferred suppliers with buyers to ensure for reliable procurement.

Then there is Coupa Procurement which is also based on workflows and in addition to the procurement process also supports a compliance regime as well. This is done by incorporating detailed procurement policies and regulations as part of the purchasing cycle, as well as including a collaborative supplier rating function where buyers can evaluate and share information on potential buyers.

While ESM Purchase does not include a collaboration platform, it does have a comprehensive analytics platform which allows detailed analysis of purchasing management. In so doing the product provides a comprehensive return on investment feedback which can be used to better rate suppliers for future requisitions requests.
