The country’s largest companies trust us with their procurement
Take control of logistics and warehousing procurement — end to end, in one system
Logistics procurement is demanding in ways that generic purchasing tools were never designed to handle. You are sourcing across multiple routes and service categories simultaneously, assessing whether a carrier or warehouse operator can actually deliver — not just whether their price is competitive — and doing all of it under internal audit requirements that demand a clear, defensible record of every decision. 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 digital and transparent: automated pre-qualification replaces document-by-document review, qualified suppliers are matched automatically to each tender, online bidding eliminates printing and couriers, and built-in comparison tools support award decisions against a consistent set of criteria.
What logistics buyers gain
A clean, current supplier base — the automated pre-qualification process produces a centralised, categorised Approved Vendor List, enabling buyers to source qualified vendors quickly, including internationally, without manual review overhead
Full auditability — every offer is system-recorded, all clarifications are logged in a single tender chat, and the complete record remains available after award for audit and compliance purposes
Consistent, bias-free evaluation — selection criteria are applied uniformly across all participants with no information asymmetry between bidders, giving every award decision a clear and defensible basis
Stronger competition on each tender — automatic matching of qualified suppliers, including international vendors, to each specific tender increases the number of competitive bids received and improves commercial outcomes
Reduced contract administration — contracts are auto-generated from award data, with milestone tracking and expiry alerts that reduce legal workload and support ongoing compliance without manual follow-up
Platform capabilities built for logistics procurement
Automated pre-qualification
Suppliers upload documents online and track their application status in real time. Pre-qualification is automated rather than handled document-by-document, and the output is a centralised, categorised Approved Vendor List. Qualified suppliers are then matched automatically to each specific tender that fits their expertise and capacity.
Online tendering and digital evaluation
Publish procurements of any type or volume from a single hub. Suppliers submit online — no printing, couriers or manual paperwork. Built-in comparison tools and historical analytics support award decisions, and every bid is system-recorded so selection criteria are applied uniformly across all participants.
Real-time auction module
A dedicated auction module supports multiple auction formats and ensures transparent, competitive bidding. Live dashboards show tender progress and bid rankings as they develop, giving your team the visibility needed to manage multi-route sourcing events confidently.
Supplier performance and rating
Streamlined qualification, evaluation and rating tools let you track supplier performance over time — critical when reliability matters as much as price. The Approved Vendor List reflects actual performance history, not just initial qualification documents.
Auditable clarification and communication log
All questions and clarifications are logged in a single tender chat. Every participant works to the same rules and the same information. The clarification record is fully auditable after award, giving you the evidence trail your compliance and audit functions require.
Contract management and Power BI dashboards
Contracts are auto-generated from award data, with milestone tracking and expiry alerts to reduce legal workload. Integrated Power BI dashboards and red-flag mechanisms provide live oversight of procurement KPIs and historical analytics across your sourcing activity.

Questions from logistics procurement teams
We source across multiple routes and service types simultaneously. Can the platform handle that volume and variety?
Yes. Procure.az is a single hub for procurements of any type or volume. The modular architecture means you configure the workflow to match each category — whether that is spot transport, long-term warehousing contracts or ancillary logistics services — without rebuilding the process each time. All sourcing events run under the same digital system, so your team maintains consistent oversight regardless of how many concurrent tenders are active.
Our supplier base is fragmented and out of date. How does the pre-qualification process help us fix that?
The automated pre-qualification process produces a centralised, categorised Approved Vendor List directly from supplier submissions. Suppliers upload their documents online and can track their application status in real time, removing the back-and-forth that typically slows manual review. Once qualified, suppliers are matched automatically to tenders that fit their expertise and capacity, meaning you can source from a current, verified pool — including international vendors — without the administrative burden your team currently carries.
How does the platform support our internal audit and compliance requirements?
Every offer is system-recorded, every clarification is logged in a single tender chat, and the full record is available after award. Selection criteria are applied uniformly across all participants, eliminating information asymmetry between bidders. The digital archive replaces manual paperwork entirely, and integrated Power BI dashboards with red-flag mechanisms give your compliance and oversight functions a live and historical view of every procurement decision.
Can suppliers who are new to the platform find and respond to our tenders easily?
Yes. A single supplier profile gives access to all tenders published on the platform. Suppliers are matched automatically to tenders that fit their expertise and capacity, so they are notified of relevant opportunities without needing to monitor the platform continuously. Submission is fully online — no printing, couriers or manual paperwork — and all questions and clarifications are handled through a single tender chat where every participant sees the same information and the same rules applied uniformly.
What level of support is available after go-live, and who provides it?
Procure.az provides 8/5 in-house customer care and support. The support team is internal to Smart Solutions Group — not a third-party helpdesk — so they have direct, detailed knowledge of the platform and can resolve issues without escalation delays. The platform is already in active use by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz, so the support function is experienced with complex, high-volume procurement environments.
