Consistent, bias-free ratings — every offer is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all sourcing events, removing individual subjectivity and making vendor assessments fully comparable regardless of which category manager runs the process.

Rate supplier performance with confidence and consistency
Knowing which suppliers consistently deliver and which fall short is one of the most valuable insights a procurement team can hold — yet in many organisations that knowledge lives in scattered spreadsheets, personal email threads or the memory of individual category managers. Procure.az, the e-sourcing and tendering platform built by Smart Solutions Group, brings supplier qualification, evaluation and performance rating into a single digital system that covers the entire procurement lifecycle from supplier identification through to contract awarding. Because every offer and every selection decision is system-recorded, rating criteria are applied uniformly across all vendors and all sourcing events, giving your team an auditable, time-stamped record that supports future sourcing decisions, internal governance requirements and structured supplier development conversations.
What your procurement team gains
A growing performance history — supplier performance is tracked over time, so each completed sourcing event adds to a cumulative record that transforms transactional data into long-term vendor intelligence your team can act on.
Faster sourcing cycles — fully automated pre-qualification and sourcing processes reduce the manual effort that slows category managers between events, allowing qualification outcomes and performance ratings to be captured efficiently without offline workarounds.
Better vendor matching — suppliers are matched to tenders that fit their expertise and capacity, ensuring your performance ratings are built on a pool of genuinely relevant, pre-qualified candidates from the outset rather than an unfiltered list.
Reduced cost of finding new vendors — the platform reduces the marketing spend and travel otherwise needed to identify and onboard new suppliers, lowering the total cost of building and maintaining a qualified vendor base.
Full auditability and governance alignment — the modular architecture is configured to your own procurement process, so your rating workflow, approval steps and reporting outputs reflect your internal governance requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all template.
Platform capabilities that support supplier performance rating
Uniform evaluation records
Every offer submitted through the platform is system-recorded. Selection criteria are applied consistently across all suppliers in every sourcing event, giving your team a defensible, auditable basis for each rating decision.
Longitudinal performance tracking
Supplier performance data accumulates over time within the platform. Category managers can review a vendor's track record across multiple events rather than relying on a single snapshot or informal recollection.
Streamlined pre-qualification and rating
Fully automated pre-qualification and sourcing processes reduce the administrative burden on your team, so qualification outcomes and performance ratings are captured efficiently without manual re-entry or offline workarounds.
Expertise-matched supplier pools
Suppliers are matched to tenders that fit their expertise and capacity. This means your performance ratings are built on a pool of genuinely relevant vendors, improving the quality and comparability of the data you collect.
Configurable to your process
The modular architecture is configured to the buying organisation's own process. Your rating criteria, approval steps and reporting outputs reflect your internal governance model rather than a one-size-fits-all foreign e-procurement suite.
End-to-end lifecycle coverage
Procure.az covers the procurement lifecycle from supplier identification through to contract awarding in one digital system, so performance data is connected to the full context of each sourcing event — not isolated in a standalone rating tool.

Frequently asked questions
How does the platform ensure ratings are applied consistently across different category managers?
Every offer is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly within the platform. This removes reliance on individual judgment or offline scoring tools, so ratings are fully comparable regardless of which team member runs the sourcing event — an important safeguard in organisations where multiple category managers operate in parallel.
Can we configure the rating criteria to match our internal procurement process?
Yes. Procure.az has a modular architecture that is configured to the buying organisation's own process. Your qualification thresholds, evaluation weightings and rating steps are set up to reflect your governance model, so the platform adapts to the way your organisation works rather than requiring you to change your process to fit a fixed template.
What happens to performance data after a sourcing event is closed?
Supplier performance can be tracked over time within the platform. Each completed event adds to a cumulative record, so your team builds a progressively richer picture of vendor reliability and capability with every tender cycle. This longitudinal view is particularly useful when making vendor selection decisions for high-value or strategically important categories.
We currently manage supplier ratings in a spreadsheet. What does moving to Procure.az change?
A spreadsheet holds data but does not enforce consistent criteria, link ratings to the original offer records, match suppliers to relevant future events or provide an auditable trail that satisfies governance requirements. Procure.az connects qualification, evaluation and rating within a single system that covers the full procurement lifecycle, replacing fragmented offline records with a structured, time-stamped history that every authorised team member can access.
Which types of organisations are already using Procure.az for supplier management?
The platform is used by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz. These organisations operate across different sectors and use the platform to manage supplier qualification, evaluation and performance rating at scale within a single digital system.
What support is available if our team needs help configuring or using the rating features?
Procure.az provides 8/5 in-house customer care and support, meaning your procurement team has direct access to assistance from the team that built and maintains the platform — not a third-party helpdesk — during business hours.
