Smart Procurement From Request to Receipt
Complete procurement lifecycle management — from purchase requisitions and vendor management to RFQs, purchase orders, goods receipt, quality inspection, and vendor performance scoring. All connected to your inventory and finance systems.
End-to-End Procurement Control
Every step of the procurement process — from initial request to final receipt — managed, tracked, and optimized.
Purchase Requisitions
Staff across departments submit purchase requests with item details, quantities, and urgency levels. Multi-level approval workflows route requisitions to the right decision makers based on amount, category, or department.
Vendor Management
Maintain a comprehensive vendor database with contact information, payment terms, certifications, compliance documents, and pricing agreements. Track vendor history and performance across all locations.
RFQ & Price Comparison
Send Request for Quotation to multiple vendors simultaneously. Compare responses side-by-side on price, lead time, quality rating, and terms. Historical pricing trends help you negotiate better deals.
Purchase Orders
Generate purchase orders from approved requisitions or RFQ awards. Track PO status from creation through vendor acknowledgment, shipment, and receipt. Automatic reminders for overdue deliveries.
GRN (Goods Receipt Notes)
Record goods receipt against purchase orders with quantity verification, batch/serial number assignment, and storage location allocation. Partial receipts, over-deliveries, and discrepancy handling built in.
Quality Inspection
Configurable quality check workflows at receiving. Inspect items against quality parameters, record results, and route accepted, rejected, or quarantined items automatically. Full traceability for compliance.
Vendor Performance Scoring
Automatic vendor scorecards based on on-time delivery, quality pass rate, price competitiveness, and responsiveness. Identify your best suppliers and flag underperformers for review or replacement.
Contract Management
Manage vendor contracts with pricing agreements, volume commitments, quality SLAs, and renewal dates. Track contract utilization and get alerts before expiration for timely renegotiation.
