How to choose a Certa alternative
- Map your approval matrix before demos; the tool must model it without workarounds.
- Check vendor-side experience — portals for quotes and invoice submission reduce your own team's data entry.
- Confirm integration with your ERP or Tally so POs and GRNs do not get re-keyed.
