Shorter sourcing cycles
the platform cuts sourcing cycle time by 40%, compressing the elapsed time between need identification and contract award and freeing your team to run more events with the same resource.
Eliminate manual paperwork
Eliminate manual paperwork — a practical approach with the Procure.az e-procurement platform.
The country’s largest companies trust us with their procurement
Replace paper-based procurement with a single, auditable digital system
Manual procurement processes — printed tender packs, courier submissions, spreadsheet evaluations — introduce delays, inconsistency and gaps in your audit trail that are difficult to defend at any stage of a review. Procure.az, built by Smart Solutions Group, addresses this by covering the full procurement lifecycle from supplier identification through to contract awarding within one integrated digital system. Document preparation, online bidding and digital evaluation are all automated, so your team spends less time on administrative overhead and more time on the strategic decisions that determine value. The platform cuts sourcing cycle time by 40%, a gain that compounds across every category and every event your procurement function runs throughout the year.
What your procurement team gains
Consistent, defensible award decisions
selection criteria are configured once and applied uniformly to every submission, removing the subjectivity and inconsistency that manual or spreadsheet-based evaluation routinely introduces.
A complete, tamper-evident audit trail
every offer submitted and every evaluation action taken is automatically system-recorded and time-stamped, so you can demonstrate compliance to internal or external auditors without reconstructing events from paper files or email threads.
Significantly reduced human error
automating document preparation, bid receipt and evaluation steps eliminates the transcription and calculation mistakes that are endemic in manual workflows, protecting both decision quality and supplier relationships.
One hub for all procurement types and volumes
publish, manage and close procurements of any category, type or scale from a single platform, removing the cost and complexity of maintaining separate tools for different spend areas.
Data-driven award decisions
built-in comparison tools and historical analytics give category managers the contextual data needed to benchmark current bids against past awards and justify supplier selection with confidence.
Platform capabilities that eliminate manual work
Automated document preparation
Tender documents are generated and distributed through the platform. There are no printed packs to assemble, no couriers to arrange and no version-control problems caused by emailed attachments.
Online bidding and digital submission
Suppliers submit their offers entirely online. This removes the physical handling, manual logging and transcription steps that slow down traditional tender receipt and create data-entry errors.
Digital evaluation with uniform criteria
Evaluation criteria are configured in the system and applied consistently to every offer received. Built-in comparison tools surface the relevant data so your team can reach a well-supported award decision without building a separate spreadsheet.
Fully automated pre-qualification and sourcing
Pre-qualification workflows run automatically against your defined criteria, so only appropriately qualified suppliers progress to the sourcing stage — without manual chasing or paper-based checks.
Historical analytics for better decisions
The platform retains historical procurement data and surfaces it through analytics, giving category managers the context to benchmark current bids and identify patterns across past awards.
Modular, configurable architecture
The platform is structured in modules that are configured to your organisation's own procurement process. You are not required to adapt your workflow to fit a rigid system designed for a different context.

Common questions from procurement teams
We already have an ERP purchasing module. Why would we need a separate platform?
An ERP purchasing module typically handles purchase orders and financial flows rather than the competitive sourcing process itself. Procure.az covers the lifecycle from supplier identification through to contract awarding — including pre-qualification, online bidding and digital evaluation — which most ERP modules do not automate in the same way. The two can operate alongside each other, with each system handling the stage of the process it is best suited to.
How does the platform support our audit and compliance requirements?
Every offer submitted and every evaluation action taken is system-recorded and time-stamped automatically. Because selection criteria are applied uniformly across all submissions, there is a clear and consistent record of how each award decision was reached. This makes it straightforward to respond to internal or external audit queries without reconstructing events from paper files or scattered email threads.
Can the platform handle different types and volumes of procurement across multiple categories?
Yes. Procure.az is designed as a single hub to publish and manage procurements of any type or volume, so your team does not need separate tools or parallel processes for different categories or scales of spend. The modular architecture means the platform is configured to accommodate your specific mix of procurement activity rather than constraining it.
What level of support is available after go-live?
Smart Solutions Group provides 8/5 in-house customer care and support, meaning your procurement team has direct access to the team that built and maintains the platform — not a third-party helpdesk with limited product knowledge.
Is the platform proven in large, complex organisations with demanding procurement requirements?
Procure.az is used by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz — organisations with substantial, varied and compliance-sensitive procurement operations. Their continued use of the platform reflects its ability to perform reliably at scale and across diverse spend categories.
