One system for fast, accurate retail purchasing
Procurement in the retail industry can’t wait, and stock levels are everything. Precoro helps you source products, manage suppliers, and control budgets—so shelves stay full and customers stay happy.
When purchasing is scattered across stores, DCs, and online channels, it’s easy to lose track of SKUs, budgets, and approvals. Precoro’s retail procurement software centralizes every purchase, so you can see who bought what, for which location or channel, when, from whom, and at what cost.
This live, single view helps category managers, store ops, and finance stay aligned on budgets, promotions, and replenishment—no matter how complex your assortment gets, our procurement software for retail covers it all.
Procurement in the retail industry shouldn’t mean endless emails and messy spreadsheets. Precoro’s Supplier Portal centralizes communication so you can send POs, track deliveries, onboard suppliers, and check invoice status in one place.
With PunchOut catalogs, buyers shop approved assortments directly on supplier sites, and the details sync back automatically. The result: faster cycles, fewer errors, and consistent pricing across every store.
Stitching data between POS, e-commerce, WMS, and accounting wastes time and invites duplicates. Our retail procurement software just clicks with your existing stack and syncs data automatically.
Thus, teams stop re-entering information and approvals and move faster. You can easily manage the full procure-to-pay flow through easy-to-use modules. Unlike heavyweight tools that can take months to implement, Precoro is typically live in 2–8 weeks with minimal IT involvement.
Decentralized store orders miss price breaks and create spec drift. Precoro rolls demand from multiple stores, DCs, and channels into blanket POs so you buy in bulk, lock negotiated terms, and release on schedule.
You maintain your retail procurement strategy while keeping specs consistent, improving margins, and ensuring every promotion and location has the right inventory on time.
Your team shouldn’t lose sales because of slow approvals. Precoro lets you design clear approval chains and threshold workflows that move urgent requests quickly, while spend controls keep finances safe.
As a result, you can see pending approvals in real-time, and your team keeps shelves full instead of waiting for sign-offs.
Retail procurement teams already juggle a lot—the last thing you need is a missed certificate derailing deliveries. Precoro keeps all supplier certificates, contracts, and audit trails in one place.
Get expiry alerts before problems appear, and stay compliant without the stress. That is how retail procurement should work—ready, steady.

We have 28 regional representatives and 19 office employees working in Precoro. All the representatives sell tires and auto batteries. When they need any of these, they use Shypshyna's product catalog to request them from the warehouse (office employees). There is an approval routing of 3 employees. Workflow is adjusted. Precoro has a friendly UI, and our internal representatives easily use it to process purchase requests and make POs from them. The interactive catalog is great; we can also upload reports with cost centers into our ERP.
