**Reviewed by:** TAWNY A. | Purchaser/Expeditor, Mining & Metals, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2015

**What do you like best about Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software?**

I've been using Bellwether Purchasing Software for almost a year now and so far I'm very pleased with the experience and the options available. My Purchase Orders are a high priority of my job and with this software it really makes part of my job a breeze! I love being able to contact customer service and they are so all very helpful if I have any issues what so ever. The training was also great! I really like having the option of all the reporting systems, you have so many different ways to pull reports, so helpful and all right at your finger tips! 

**What do you dislike about Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software?**

Not much I really don't dislike, I wish they had more options available when it comes to tracking maintenance on vehicles but that's more personal to our business than others i'm sure. The Asset Manager module needs much improvement like I said, but not sure how much need that is for other businesses, would be excellent for ours. Still like the software though. Ready to continue to use in the upcoming 2016 year! 

**Recommendations to others considering Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software:**

If you are considering using this system, give it a try, you won't be sorry at all! They have excellent reviews and will help answer any and all questions before you even commit to them. I did a ton of research for different software options and this was always at my top, once I did the demo and was a few weeks in to it, i knew myself and the company had made the right decision. I love being a Bellwether Purchasing Software user!!!! 

**What problems is Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have such organization now and having this software has benefited our company in many ways. Tracking our budget on all purchases and knowing where and what we have spent, it's all at my finger tips! 

  ### 20. Very happy with ePMX software and the value it's added to our organization!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah S. | Sales Associate, Hospital & Health Care, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2015

**What do you like best about Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software?**

The search features and reporting are wonderful!  Makes searching for old PO's and traceability very simple and efficient.  We also really like the punchout PO and how quickly ordering is with our major supplier. The layout is also very user friendly.  I'm able to navigate through a process without a lot of instruction and easily figure it out.  The customer support has been awesome as well.  They are very responsive and really work on solutions.

**What do you dislike about Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software?**

In PO entry, when adding a part number, I do not care for the window to pop up.  I wish there was a way to allow more than one screen to be in use at a time.  When I'm in punchout PO's and have a question about a part that needs to be looked up in the item master, I have to completely back out and look up the information, then redo the entire PO again.  If there was an option to open an additional screen, this wouldn't be a problem for me. 

**What problems is Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We now have traceability, history, and a defined process in place.  It's very nice to have a trusted system in place.

  ### 21. Bellwether Purchase Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2015

**What do you like best about Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software?**

This purchasing software is very user friendly.  I have tested many other purchasing software programs and none of them compared to Bellwether in terms of information and ease of use.  I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for an easy to use software purchasing program.  It has many different layers and you only pay for the layers that you need.  I use it only for purchasing but there are other features available to use.  If I ever have a problem or suggestion I email them and I receive a reply within 24 hours.

**What do you dislike about Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software?**

At this point I've been using it for over a year and the only thing I can say that I would like changed is to add a job name on the fly.  Currently if a job name is not in my system I have to add it first before starting a purchase order.  

**Recommendations to others considering Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software:**

I would highly recommend this software.

**What problems is Bellwether BPM Purchasing Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving the problem of never knowing how much of an item we have used over the past year.  With this software I can create reports detailing how many of an item were purchased for specific jobs.  One of the benefits to me is that I can copy a purchase order and change the job name, etc. because there are many jobs where I need to order the same type of items at different times and it's so easy to copy a previous purchase order and only change the fields that need to be changed.

  ### 22. Great program and Extremely user Friendly

Bellwether Software has significantly improved the speed of our process and reduced the overall cost per purchase order.
