How does the free supplier audit work?

Sign up and run a single supplier audit across all four dimensions — delivery, service, compliance, and spend. You'll get a full benchmarked scorecard with a composite score and PDF export. No credit card required.

What data do I need to upload?

For spend visibility, upload your PO and invoice data as a CSV or Excel file. For delivery tracking, log promised and actual delivery dates. For audits, just answer the template questions — we handle the scoring.

Your data is stored securely and only visible to users in your organisation. We never share supplier data between organisations. Each organisation's data is isolated and access-controlled with row-level security.

Do I need to be a Howcroft customer?

No. MROiq works standalone for any industrial procurement team. If you are a Howcroft customer, you get an enhanced experience with integrated procurement expertise built in.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There are no long-term contracts on monthly plans. Annual plans save you 20% but you can cancel before the next renewal period. The free audit never expires.

What's in the weekly digest email?

Each week you get an email summarising delivery breaches, new spend anomalies detected, scorecard changes, and your top-performing suppliers. It's designed to be read in under two minutes — no need to log in.

What is the Savings Finder and how does it work?

The Savings Finder is a free tool where you upload your procurement data (CSV or Excel) and our team analyses it against our product catalog to find cost-saving opportunities. You receive a personalised report showing potential savings, matched items, and recommended alternatives.

How does MROiq compare to other procurement software?

MROiq is purpose-built for industrial MRO procurement, unlike generic platforms. We offer detailed comparisons against KodiakHub, Oboloo, Geckoboard, Coupa, and Procurify — highlighting our industry-specific focus, automated weekly digest model, and Howcroft Group's 40+ years of MRO expertise.

Can MROiq connect to my ERP or accounting system?

Yes. We build custom connectors for ERP systems, accounting platforms, and other business tools. Request a connector and our team will scope the integration, including data sync scope, supplier mapping, and timeline.

Which buyer roles is MROiq built for?

MROiq is designed for every procurement decision-maker: Engineering Managers (uptime and critical parts sourcing), Purchasing Directors (cost reduction and supplier consolidation), Operations Directors (asset reliability and throughput), and H&S Directors (compliance and risk reduction).

Is MROiq ISO certified?

MROiq is built by Howcroft Group, which is ISO 9001 Quality Management certified by the Centre for Assessment. This underpins our commitment to quality processes and continuous improvement across the platform.
