Covers the full sourcing lifecycle — supplier identification, pre-qualification, competitive tendering and contract awarding — in one digital environment, rather than stopping at purchase order generation.

One digital system for the whole procurement lifecycle
Most organisations rely on the purchasing module embedded in their ERP to manage procurement, only to discover that it was designed primarily for transactional order processing and financial control rather than for the earlier, more strategic stages of sourcing. Supplier identification, pre-qualification, competitive tendering and contract awarding typically fall well outside what an ERP purchasing module handles effectively, leaving procurement teams to bridge those gaps with spreadsheets, email threads and manual record-keeping that introduce inconsistency, delay and audit risk. Procure.az, built by Smart Solutions Group, is an e-sourcing and tendering platform that unifies the entire procurement lifecycle — from supplier identification through to contract awarding — in a single digital system. Its modular architecture means a buying organisation enables only the stages it actually needs, automated workflows replace manual administration, and every offer is system-recorded so that selection criteria are applied uniformly across all sourcing events.
Why procurement teams look beyond their ERP purchasing module
Fully automated pre-qualification and sourcing workflows eliminate the manual coordination that ERP purchasing modules typically leave to email chains and spreadsheets, reducing administrative burden and the risk of process gaps.
Every offer is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all events, providing a consistent and auditable basis for supplier selection that supports both internal governance and external review.
Modular architecture lets the buying organisation configure the platform to its own established process, enabling only the stages it uses rather than forcing teams into a fixed or generic workflow.
A fully digital and transparent process — with automated workflows and a digital archive — replaces fragmented paper-based or multi-tool administration and keeps the complete procurement record in one searchable location.
8/5 in-house customer care and support is provided by the same Smart Solutions Group team that built and maintains the platform, ensuring that support is informed by deep product knowledge rather than a generic helpdesk.
What Procure.az brings that an ERP purchasing module typically does not
End-to-end sourcing in a single system
From supplier identification through to contract awarding, every stage of the procurement lifecycle sits in one digital environment — no need to export data to a separate tool or reconcile records across systems.
Automated pre-qualification
Pre-qualification is fully automated, so buyers can assess and qualify suppliers systematically without manual chasing or document management outside the platform.
Uniform, recorded evaluation
Every offer submitted through the platform is system-recorded and evaluated against the same criteria, creating a consistent and auditable selection process.
Modular, configurable architecture
The platform is built in modules. A buying organisation switches on the stages that match its process — whether that is supplier registration, RFQ, reverse auction or contract awarding — without being forced into a fixed workflow.
Digital archive replacing manual administration
Automated workflows and a digital archive take the place of manual paperwork, email folders and spreadsheet trackers, keeping the full procurement record in one searchable location.
In-house support team
Customer care and support is provided in-house by Smart Solutions Group on an 8/5 basis, meaning the people who support you also built and maintain the platform.
How the procurement lifecycle works on Procure.az
- Identify and register suppliers through the platform's supplier management module, building a qualified pool from the outset.
- Run automated pre-qualification to assess suppliers against defined criteria before they are invited to tender.
- Issue sourcing events — requests for information, quotation or proposal — with all submissions captured and time-stamped in the system.
- Evaluate offers using uniform, system-recorded criteria so that every participant is assessed on the same basis.
- Award the contract digitally, with the full decision trail stored in the platform's archive for future reference or audit.
Common questions from teams considering a move away from their ERP purchasing module
Our ERP already handles purchase orders and invoices. Why would we need a separate sourcing platform?
An ERP purchasing module is designed for transactional processing — orders, goods receipts and invoice matching. The earlier, more strategic stages of procurement — finding and qualifying suppliers, running competitive sourcing events and awarding contracts — are typically outside its scope. Procure.az covers those upstream stages in a single digital system, so the two tools address complementary but distinct parts of the procurement cycle without overlap.
We have built our own procurement process over many years. Can the platform adapt to it rather than the other way around?
Procure.az is built on a modular architecture that is configured to the buying organisation's own process. You enable only the stages you need — whether that is supplier registration, pre-qualification, RFQ, reverse auction or contract awarding — rather than conforming to a fixed or generic workflow. This means the platform works around your established process rather than requiring you to redesign it.
How does the platform support compliance and auditability across sourcing events?
Every offer submitted through the platform is system-recorded, and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all events. Every stage of the process is digital and transparent, and a digital archive replaces manual administration, giving procurement teams a complete, searchable record of each sourcing event that is available for internal governance reviews or external audit at any time.
Which organisations currently use Procure.az, and does it scale to complex procurement environments?
The platform is used by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz — organisations with substantial and varied procurement requirements. Their adoption indicates that the platform's architecture is capable of supporting high-volume and complex sourcing environments.
What support is available once we go live, and who provides it?
Smart Solutions Group provides 8/5 in-house customer care and support. Critically, the support team is the same team that built and continues to maintain the platform, so queries are handled by people with direct product knowledge rather than a third-party helpdesk working from documentation.
