Episode Details

When listener Daniel moved into a new apartment, his industrial euro boxes worked so well he decided to replace every cardboard box in his life — and suddenly found himself running a procurement operation from his living room. This episode explores the surprising software gap between consumer shopping and full enterprise ERPs, and why a Google Drive folder system hits its limits fast. We break down the actual workflow — RFQs, quote comparison, expiry tracking, cost allocation — and look at lightweight tools like Procurify, Kissflow Procurement, Tradogram, and Precoro that handle exactly this scale. If you've ever bought supplies for a side hustle and wished software existed between "Amazon cart" and "SAP," this one's for you.
