The country’s largest companies trust us with their procurement
Procurement control built for banking's audit requirements
Banks operate inside some of the most demanding internal-control and audit frameworks of any sector. Every sourcing decision must be documented, every supplier assessment must be defensible, and every offer must be evaluated against a consistent set of criteria — yet procurement teams still contend with manual paperwork, fragmented supplier records and sourcing cycles that stretch far longer than they should. 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. Every stage is recorded automatically, selection criteria are applied uniformly across all offers, and the full audit trail is available without reconstructing paper files.
Trusted by large Azerbaijani enterprises including Kapital Bank, the PASHA group, the SOCAR group and Azəriqaz, Procure.az is proven at the scale and compliance intensity that financial-sector procurement demands. The platform's modular architecture means each buying organisation configures only the stages it needs, replacing fragmented manual processes with automated workflows and a digital archive that covers pre-qualification, tender management, supplier communication, evaluation and contract execution. The result is a procurement operation that is faster, more consistent and fully auditable — giving banking procurement teams the control, transparency and speed their internal stakeholders and auditors expect.
What banking procurement teams gain
Automated pre-qualification that builds and continuously maintains a centralised, categorised Approved Vendor List, replacing fragmented and out-of-date supplier records with a verified, searchable pool.
Shorter sourcing cycles: automated workflows and digital document handling eliminate manual administration across the full procurement lifecycle, from supplier identification through to contract award.
Uniform evaluation: every bid is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied consistently to all participants, removing the risk of inconsistent manual scoring and strengthening defensibility at audit.
Spend and activity visibility across departments through live dashboards and integrated Power BI reporting, giving category managers a single consolidated view of tender progress, bid rankings and procurement KPIs.
Reduced compliance risk: auto-generated contracts, milestone tracking, expiry alerts and transparent change logs support policy adherence, reduce legal workload and close the loop between sourcing and contract execution.
Platform capabilities relevant to banking procurement
Automated pre-qualification and Approved Vendor List
Suppliers upload documents online and track their application status in real time. Pre-qualification is handled automatically rather than document-by-document, and the output is a centralised, categorised Approved Vendor List. Qualified suppliers are then matched automatically to each specific tender, so your team sources from a verified pool without manual searching.
End-to-end tender management in one system
Publish procurements of any type or volume from a single hub. The platform automates document preparation, online bidding and digital evaluation, and supports a real-time auction module with multiple auction formats. Suppliers submit entirely online — no printing, couriers or manual paperwork — and all participants work to the same rules and the same information.
Auditable clarification and communication log
All questions and clarifications between buyers and suppliers are logged in a single tender chat. Buyers have oversight of every clarification issued, suppliers receive prompt answers under uniform rules, and the full clarification record remains auditable after award — a direct response to the traceability requirements of banking audit frameworks.
Live dashboards and built-in analytics
Live dashboards show tender progress, bid rankings and procurement KPIs in real time. Integrated Power BI dashboards and historical analytics support comparison between offers and award decisions. Red-flag mechanisms provide an additional layer of oversight for procurement governance teams.
Contract management and compliance support
The platform auto-generates contracts from award data, tracks contract milestones and sends expiry alerts. Suppliers receive a single signed source of truth with transparent change logs. This reduces legal workload, supports compliance with internal policy and closes the loop between sourcing and contract execution.
Modular configuration to your own process
The platform's modular architecture means your organisation enables only the stages it needs, configured to your own procurement process rather than a fixed workflow. 8/5 in-house customer care and support is available throughout, provided directly by the Smart Solutions Group team.

Questions from banking procurement teams
How does the platform support our internal audit and compliance requirements?
Every stage of the process is digital and transparent. Every offer is system-recorded, selection criteria are applied uniformly across all participants, all clarifications are logged in a single auditable tender chat, and contracts are auto-generated from award data with transparent change logs. This means your audit trail is built automatically as the procurement runs, rather than assembled retrospectively from paper files — a significant advantage when responding to internal control reviews or external audit queries.
We manage a high volume of small and mid-size purchases across departments. Can the platform handle that?
Yes. Procure.az provides a single hub to publish procurements of any type or volume. The modular architecture means you can configure the workflow to match the complexity of each category, and automated workflows replace the manual administration that makes high-volume procurement difficult to manage consistently. Because every transaction is system-recorded, oversight does not diminish as volume increases.
Our supplier base is fragmented and records are not always current. How does pre-qualification work?
Pre-qualification is automated rather than handled document-by-document. Suppliers upload their documents online and track their application status in real time. The output is a centralised, categorised Approved Vendor List, and qualified suppliers are matched automatically to each tender that fits their expertise and capacity. The process also supports international sourcing, which broadens the competitive pool on each tender without additional manual effort from your team.
How do we get visibility of spend and tender activity across departments?
Live dashboards show tender progress, bid rankings and procurement KPIs in real time. Integrated Power BI dashboards and historical analytics give category managers a consolidated view of activity and support structured comparison between offers over time. Red-flag mechanisms provide an additional oversight layer specifically designed for procurement governance and compliance teams.
Is the platform already used in the financial sector in Azerbaijan?
Yes. Procure.az is used by large Azerbaijani enterprises including Kapital Bank and the PASHA group, among others such as the SOCAR group and Azəriqaz. It is built and supported by Smart Solutions Group, with 8/5 in-house customer care available directly from the team that developed the platform.
