Purchasing, Procurement & Receiving for Quoting Software

QuoteWerks Web helps you manage purchasing, procurement, and receiving across any vendor, whether you place orders electronically or send purchase orders by email.

Create purchase orders, combine items across multiple orders, sync with QuickBooks Online, track shipments, and manage receiving from quote to fulfillment without switching systems.

For businesses that require deeper automation, distributor and PSA integrations are available, but not required.

Ensure every item is ordered, tracked, and received without gaps or missed steps.
The Problem

Purchasing often breaks down after the quote is approved

Disconnected tools create gaps in the workflow

After a deal is won, teams still need to create purchase orders, place vendor orders, track shipments, and confirm receiving.

Without a centralized purchasing workflow, this work is spread across emails, spreadsheets, vendor portals, and accounting tools.

Purchasing is often siloed and hard to see

In many organizations, purchasing is handled by a single person or small team with limited visibility for others.

Sales, operations, and leadership often lack clear insight into what has been ordered, what is pending, and what is ready for delivery.

This creates bottlenecks, delays, and unnecessary internal communication just to understand order status.

Lack of visibility slows down teams and frustrates customers

Customers expect accurate updates, and teams spend unnecessary time answering “Where is my order?” or chasing vendors for status.

This leads to missed orders, duplicate entry, and limited visibility into what has actually been ordered or received.

The Solution

One purchasing workflow for any vendor

Manage procurement from quote to receiving

QuoteWerks Web provides a flexible purchasing and procurement workflow that works across all vendor types.

Create purchase orders, send them via email or electronically, combine items across quotes, and track order status and receiving without switching systems.

Maintain consistency across all purchasing scenarios

Whether working with integrated distributors or manual vendors, your workflow remains consistent.

This ensures your process scales without requiring changes to how your business operates.

Purchase Orders

Create and send purchase orders without re-entering data

Automatically generate purchase orders from quotes

Create purchase orders directly from quotes or sales orders, eliminating duplicate data entry and reducing purchasing errors.

Automatically generate purchase orders per vendor based on the items in your quote, ensuring nothing is missed.

Support both electronic and manual purchasing workflows

Purchase orders can be created as electronic orders for supported vendors or manually for any vendor.

Electronic orders can include automated updates such as tracking numbers and shipment status. Manual purchase orders follow the same workflow with updates entered as needed.

Deliver purchase orders your way

Send purchase orders via email, inline messaging, attachments, or exported PDFs depending on vendor requirements.

Smarter Purchasing

Combine orders and choose vendors at the time of purchase

Combine items across multiple quotes into one order

Select items from any won or ordered quotes that have not yet been purchased and consolidate them into a single purchase order.

Reduce shipping costs, meet vendor minimums, and simplify purchasing.

Choose vendors based on real-time conditions

Select vendors at the time of purchase based on availability, pricing, or fulfillment requirements instead of being locked into earlier decisions.

Improve margins and avoid delays by adapting to real-world conditions.

Order Visibility

Track what has been ordered, shipped, and received

See exactly where every order stands

Without clear visibility, teams rely on emails, spreadsheets, or a single person to understand order status.

QuoteWerks provides a centralized view of purchasing activity so you can quickly see what has been ordered, what is still pending, and what has been received—without chasing vendors or internal updates.

Know what has been ordered and what is still pending

Clearly track what has been ordered, what is still pending, and what remains to be fulfilled. Ensure purchasing completeness and reduce missed orders.

Track orders without chasing vendors

Monitor order status, shipment progress, and fulfillment details without relying on email threads or manual follow-ups. Track orders even when vendors split shipments across multiple deliveries.

Quickly find orders and purchasing activity

Monitor order status, shipment progress, and fulfillment details without relying on email threads or manual follow-ups. Track orders even when vendors split shipments across multiple deliveries.

Increase visibility across your entire team

QuoteWerks provides shared visibility into purchasing activity so the right people can see what they need without relying on a single person. Sales, purchasing, operations, and leadership can access up-to-date order status, fulfillment progress, and receiving information in one place. This reduces bottlenecks and improves coordination across teams.
Receiving

Connected Systems

Sync purchasing with accounting and service systems

Keep purchasing and accounting aligned

Connect purchasing to service delivery workflows

Optional integrations with ConnectWise PSA and Autotask PSA help align purchasing with projects, tickets, and service delivery.

Centralized Workflow

Manage all purchasing in one place

Bring all purchasing activity into one place

Managing purchasing across multiple tools and systems makes it difficult to see what is happening and where things stand.

QuoteWerks centralizes purchase orders, order status, tracking, and receiving into a single system so your team can quickly understand what has been ordered, what is in progress, and what has been completed.

Advanced Purchasing

Standardize Vendor Communication with RFQs

When email and spreadsheets stop working

As purchasing volume grows, managing vendor quotes through email becomes difficult to organize and compare.

Tracking responses across multiple vendors leads to delays, missed opportunities, and inconsistent data.

Send structured RFQs to multiple vendors

VendorRFQ allows you to send standardized requests for quote (RFQs) to multiple vendors at once.

Vendors respond in a consistent format, making it easier to review pricing, availability, and lead times.

Compare vendor responses side-by-side

Quickly compare vendor responses in a structured view to identify the best option based on cost, availability, or delivery requirements.

Extend your purchasing workflow without replacing it

VendorRFQ builds on your existing purchasing process. It is an optional add-on designed for teams that need more structured vendor sourcing.

Can I combine items from multiple quotes into a single purchase order?

Yes. QuoteWerks allows you to select items from any won or ordered quotes that have not yet been purchased and combine them into a single purchase order.

This helps reduce shipping costs, meet vendor minimum order requirements, and simplify purchasing operations. Instead of managing multiple purchase orders for separate quotes, your team can consolidate purchasing decisions and operate more efficiently.

Can I choose a different vendor when placing an order?

Yes. QuoteWerks allows you to select vendors at the time of purchase based on current availability, pricing, or fulfillment requirements.

You are not locked into vendor decisions made during quoting. This flexibility allows your team to adapt to real-world purchasing conditions, helping reduce delays, improve margins, and avoid stock issues.

What is the difference between manual and electronic purchase orders?

QuoteWerks supports both manual and electronic purchasing workflows.

Electronic purchase orders, available for supported vendors, can include automated updates such as shipment status, tracking numbers, and serial number information.

Manual purchase orders follow the same workflow but require updates to be entered manually. Both approaches support combining orders, tracking status, syncing with accounting, and managing receiving, ensuring consistency across all vendors.

Can I track shipments and receiving in QuoteWerks?

Yes. QuoteWerks provides a centralized system for tracking order status, shipment progress, tracking numbers, and receiving activity.

You can monitor items that have shipped but not yet been received, manage partial shipments, and track fulfillment across multiple vendors. This reduces the need to follow up with vendors or search through emails for updates.

How does receiving work in QuoteWerks?

QuoteWerks includes a structured receiving workflow that allows you to track items as not received, partially received, or fully received.

Receiving can be managed at the individual item level, including capturing serial numbers, asset tags, and storage locations. This ensures accurate fulfillment records and supports operational processes such as deployment, inventory tracking, and customer delivery.

Can I search for and find purchase orders later?

Yes. QuoteWerks provides searchable purchasing data so you can quickly locate purchase orders, items, vendor activity, and order history.

This makes it easier to manage purchasing at scale, respond to internal questions, and access historical data without relying on emails or spreadsheets.

How does QuoteWerks integrate with accounting software like QuickBooks Online?

QuoteWerks integrates with QuickBooks Online to align purchasing activity with your financial records.

Purchase orders, receiving data, and associated costs can be synchronized to ensure accurate reporting and financial visibility. This reduces duplicate entry, minimizes reconciliation work, and helps maintain consistency between operational and accounting systems.

Can I track orders that were placed outside of QuoteWerks?

Yes. QuoteWerks allows you to import external orders and track them alongside orders created within the system.

This ensures that all purchasing activity is centralized, giving your team a complete view of orders regardless of where they originated.

What is VendorRFQ and when should I use it?

VendorRFQ is an optional add-on designed for teams that manage more complex purchasing and vendor sourcing workflows.

It allows you to send structured requests for quote (RFQs) to multiple vendors, collect responses in a consistent format, and compare pricing, availability, and lead times side-by-side.

VendorRFQ is best suited for businesses that need to evaluate multiple vendor options before placing orders, but it is not required to use QuoteWerks purchasing functionality.

How does QuoteWerks improve visibility across teams?

QuoteWerks provides shared visibility into purchasing activity so that sales, purchasing, operations, and leadership can access up-to-date information in one place.

This reduces reliance on a single person or team to manage purchasing and eliminates the need for constant internal follow-ups to check order status.

Who is QuoteWerks purchasing and procurement best suited for?

QuoteWerks is designed for businesses that sell products and need to manage purchasing, fulfillment, and delivery across multiple vendors.

It works across a wide range of industries and supports both simple and complex workflows. Businesses can start with manual purchasing processes and add automation, integrations, or VendorRFQ as their needs grow.

Does QuoteWerks replace an ERP or inventory control system?
