Not currently... Still trying to figure out which pieces makes sense to expose to external systems. But the PO and inventory management pieces may make more sense to integrate rather than build out internally. Feel free to shoot me a note i

Won't deny the intentional opacity. We haven't launched the self-service piece nor firmly defined its features. So definitely haven't solidified pricing yet. That said, in the interest of giving you a real answer... The numbe

100% accurate with all of that. Exactly the challenge we're trying to solve. We do allow some customization of fields and workflows already, but there's plenty more to come. We want the UX to be similar to that of an Asana or Trel

That's a great question and one we're answering ourselves as we launch the self-service piece. The usability of the app is really similar to an Asana or Trello but still provides similar value to the base version of an enterprise

Reluctant to give a quote without knowing whether there'd be any custom buildout, integrations, etc. If you're interested in learning more and talking pricing, feel free to shoot us a note at info@procoto.com. I'll personally

Definitely similar and that's part of the problem. Scout, Ariba, Bonfire, Coupa, Jaggaer, etc. prefer to stay upmarket. Longer sales cycles, onboarding processes, training sessions, and pricier annual agreements. We're taking a si

Fair feedback. Just a team of two at the moment and we've prioritized building out a couple of integrations and adding modules to the app. Revamping the UI is on the shortlist too.
