Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Jaggaer

This is a spend layer and not an ERP, so it must integrate with the finance system for vendor master, cost centres, budgets and invoice posting, and that integration is a build with ongoing maintenance rather than a configuration setting.
The suite is licensed by module, so a demonstration that shows sourcing, contracts, analytics and invoicing working together may represent four separate purchases and a quote for one module tells you little about the cost of the working system.
Savings depend on buyer compliance rather than on software, so an organisation without the authority to stop off system purchasing ends up paying a subscription for a reporting tool that describes the leakage it was bought to prevent.
Supplier enablement is slow and unglamorous work, because every supplier you want transacting electronically has to be contacted, configured and tested, and low enablement rates leave you running two processes at once.
Spend analytics is only as good as the classification behind it, so historic data with inconsistent supplier names and missing category codes needs a cleansing exercise before any report from it can be shown to a board.

TOTVS

Strongest in Brazil/Latin America; limited global brand recognition outside region
Complex implementation required for enterprise deployments
Smaller feature set compared to global players like Oracle or SAP in some areas
Language and localization primarily focused on Portuguese and Spanish

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Jaggaer: Do I need this if my ERP already has a purchasing module?

ERP purchasing records transactions well and influences them poorly. If your problem is that buyers ignore negotiated contracts, or that you cannot analyse spend by category, a dedicated suite adds something. If your problem is purchase order processing, your ERP module is cheaper and already integrated.

TOTVS: What markets does TOTVS operate in?

TOTVS operates in 41 countries with dominant presence in Brazil (over 50% market share) and ranks among the top 3 ERP providers in Latin America.

Source

Jaggaer: How does it compare with SAP Ariba or Coupa?

All three cover the same ground. The differences that matter in practice are which one your ERP integrates with most cheaply, which has real depth in your sector, and which suppliers are already transacting on the network. JAGGAER has an unusually deep footprint in higher education and research purchasing.

TOTVS: When was TOTVS founded?

TOTVS (originally Microsiga) was founded in 1983 by Laércio Cosentino and Ernesto Haberkorn. The company changed its name to TOTVS in 2005.

Source

Jaggaer: What does implementation actually involve?

Supplier data cleansing, category taxonomy design, approval workflow design, ERP integration and supplier enablement. The software configuration is the smallest of those. Expect the services engagement to be comparable to the first year of subscription.

TOTVS: Is TOTVS publicly traded?

Yes. TOTVS is publicly traded as a Brazilian company, providing financial transparency and corporate governance oversight.

Source

Jaggaer: Is it sold direct or through partners?

JAGGAER sells direct and also works with implementation partners on larger programmes. Whichever route you take, ask specifically who will hold the integration work and whether that team has connected to your ERP version before.

TOTVS: What ERP solutions does TOTVS offer?

TOTVS provides cloud-based ERP systems designed for small, medium, and large enterprises with integrated modules for finance, supply chain, manufacturing, sales, and human resources.

Source

TOTVS: Is TOTVS only for Brazilian companies?

No. TOTVS serves 41 countries globally, though it has strongest market penetration in Brazil and Latin America where it ranks as the largest emerging markets software firm.
