Your path to automotive procurement transformation
Here’s how Precoro helps you stay on top of the procurement process in the automotive industry.
Field staff don’t need to be procurement experts. You can create custom purchase request and PO templates with drop-down menus to guide users through all required fields, and set up supplier catalogs to ensure they order only from vetted vendors. While a standard process keeps buying compliant, you can tailor approval workflows by site, supplier, or category to fit local needs. This approach toward automotive industry procurement ensures every purchase follows company policies but still lets plants move quickly and efficiently.
When purchasing is spread across multiple plants, warehouses, and locations, it’s easy to get lost in spreadsheets, emails, and inconsistent processes. Precoro brings all automotive procurement workflows and documents together. You can quickly find out who ordered what, when, from whom, and at what cost. This central view helps you stay on top of budgets and coordinate teams better—no matter how complex procurement in the automotive industry gets.
When plants place orders separately, budgets get wasted, and prices vary. Consolidate purchase requests and orders in the automotive procurement system to compare spend across locations and find leakage or savings opportunities. Combine recurring orders from multiple teams to negotiate better prices and unlock bulk discounts. Give your teams a straightforward process to buy parts at the best value without slowing production. This way, you keep costs down and operations running smoothly, plant by plant and order by order.
Working with multiple vendors means lots of back-and-forth. Precoro’s Supplier Portal centralizes communication with vendors in one place. Teams can send orders, receive confirmations, onboard new suppliers, and share invoice statuses without endless emails or calls. And with PunchOut catalogs, they can shop approved items directly in a supplier’s online store, with details sent back to Precoro automatically. By connecting your suppliers this way, you improve collaboration, cut delays, and maintain consistent pricing across every plant and team.
Balancing control and local flexibility is key for automotive procurement across multiple plants. Precoro uses supplier and item catalogs to ensure teams buy only from approved vendors at set prices. Customizable approval workflows stop off-contract orders before they affect your procurement in the automotive industry. Plants operate within these guardrails to move fast without risking compliance. You keep spending in check and know about all expenses even before invoices hit your inbox.
You don’t have to replace your ERP system to drive automotive procurement transformation. Precoro connects smoothly with your existing tools and syncs data automatically, so your teams stop wasting time on duplicate entries or manual updates. At the same time, it helps you manage the entire procurement process with easy-to-use modules. Moreover, unlike complex systems that drag out for months or even quarters, Precoro is set up and running in just 2 to 8 weeks with no IT involvement.

Good, excellent, highly recommended software. The best part [automotive procurement system] was the customer service. People from Precoro were too professional and equally patient in answering all our minor to major questions, even if we kept asking the same question again and again for perfection, they kept smiling all the way through until our whole team learnt Precoro by 100%.

Precoro makes it easy to order items for the office/apartment building. Items are categorized and can be found easily for reordering. I use Precoro daily to manage purchase orders. Previously, I used another system that was very difficult to understand, but I've been able to ease into this Precoro so much faster. Literally, the program is completely self-explanatory.
