Evaluating procurement platforms

# Looking at FutureLog alternatives?

FutureLog is a Swiss-headquartered hospitality procurement platform with a strong European and Middle Eastern presence. If you are weighing it against PurchasePlus, here is where each of us fits and what to ask both.

First, fairly

## Where FutureLog is genuinely strong.

FutureLog is built specifically for hospitality rather than adapted to it, which already puts it ahead of the general-purpose procurement tools most hotel groups get shown first. It has a genuine European and Middle Eastern footprint and a product shaped around hotel operations.

If your portfolio sits largely in those regions and your supplier base is already connected there, that is a real advantage and worth weighing properly.

Last verified 15 September 2026. Product capabilities change, and this page describes each vendor by its own public positioning rather than by any test we have run against it. Confirm anything decision-critical directly with the vendor.

Where we fit

## Where PurchasePlus is the better answer.

Two platforms built for the same industry will look similar in a demo. These are the places the difference actually shows.

### Asia Pacific depth

PurchasePlus was built in Sydney in 1999 and the supplier network is deepest across Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific. If your growth is in this region, ask both vendors how many of your suppliers they already transact with here, by name. Regional supplier density is not a marketing claim, it is a number.

### Recipes connected to purchasing

Recipe and menu costing is not an add-on module bolted beside purchasing; it reads live supplier pricing. A chef sees margin move before service rather than discovering it at month end. If margin only surfaces in a report, it is reporting rather than control.

### Scale evidence

The platform processes over 40 million invoices a year across a network of 30,000 suppliers, for operators including Accor, Marriott, IHG, Qantas and Emirates. Ask any vendor for volume figures rather than logo walls.

### Priced per room, not per user

Unlimited users at the property, priced on rooms and the modules you turn on. See [how our pricing works](/pricing).

Evaluating

## Ask both of us the same questions.

The fastest way to tell two procurement platforms apart is to put identical questions to both and compare the answers rather than the demos.

*   **How do supplier prices get into the system, and how often?** If the answer involves a person uploading a file, ask what happens when they are on leave.
*   **How many of my suppliers already transact on your network?** Ask for the count against your real list, by name. This single number predicts your go-live date better than anything in the proposal.
*   **Can a receiver record a short delivery from the dock, on their own phone?** Loading docks have poor signal and receivers do not carry laptops.
*   **What happens to an invoice that does not match?** The interesting half of three-way matching is the exception path.
*   **Are recipes costed from live supplier pricing?** If margin only appears at month end, it is reporting, not control.
*   **What is the total first-year cost, including implementation and every integration?** Ask for it in writing, itemised.
*   **Who do we call at 6pm on a Friday, and in which time zone?**

Run your own supplier list through both. It is the single most revealing test there is, and it takes an afternoon.

Common questions

## Switching, honestly.

Which regions is each of you strongest in?

FutureLog's public footprint is strongest across Europe and the Middle East. Ours is deepest across Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific, and we also operate in the UK and the Middle East. The honest test is not the map, it is how many of your actual suppliers each of us already transacts with. Ask both, and ask for names.

How long does a migration actually take?

The platform side is rarely the long pole. Supplier onboarding is. Suppliers already transacting on the PurchasePlus network connect quickly, so ask us for the count against your actual supplier list before you plan anything. We will give you a week-by-week plan rather than a phase diagram.

Can we run both during a transition?

Yes, and for a multi-property group that is usually the sensible route. Move one property, run it properly for a quarter, then roll out with evidence rather than optimism.

What happens to our historical data?

Purchase history, supplier records and pricing can be migrated. What is worth migrating is a real conversation rather than a default, because carrying across years of inconsistent data tends to import the problem you are trying to leave.

## See it against your supplier list.

Thirty minutes with a hospitality procurement specialist. Bring your supplier list and your outlet structure and we will show you what it looks like for your properties, not a generic tour.
