Shorten your sourcing cycle with end-to-end digital procurement
Every day a sourcing event stays open is a day of operational risk, manual follow-up and cost uncertainty. Procure.az, built by Smart Solutions Group, unifies the entire procurement lifecycle — from supplier identification and pre-qualification through to bid evaluation and contract awarding — in a single digital system. Pre-qualification, RFx events, bid evaluation and award are fully automated and system-recorded, so your team spends less time administering the process and more time making sound commercial decisions. The platform is presented as cutting sourcing cycle time by 40%, a result achieved by replacing email chains, spreadsheet tracking and disconnected document handling with automated workflows and a structured digital archive that is always current and always accessible.
What your procurement team gains
Consistent, defensible bid evaluation
every offer is system-recorded and scored against pre-defined selection criteria, so the same rules apply uniformly across all suppliers and all events.
End-to-end transparency
every stage of the process runs within the platform, ensuring the audit trail is always complete without any manual reconstruction effort.
A process that fits your organisation
the modular architecture allows your team to activate only the stages it needs and to structure approvals in line with your existing internal governance, rather than adopting a fixed workflow.
Reduced administrative burden on category managers
automated workflows free procurement professionals from routine document handling and follow-up, releasing capacity for higher-value commercial analysis and decision-making.
Reliable in-house support
8/5 customer care is provided directly by Smart Solutions Group, ensuring your team has access to knowledgeable assistance throughout implementation and ongoing day-to-day operation.
Platform capabilities that drive cycle-time reduction
Automated pre-qualification
Supplier pre-qualification is handled entirely within the platform. Qualification criteria are defined once, applied consistently and recorded automatically, removing the back-and-forth that typically delays the start of a sourcing event.
Integrated RFx and tendering
Issue requests for information, quotation or proposal from the same environment where suppliers are qualified and contracts are awarded. There is no need to re-enter data or reconcile information from a separate spreadsheet or ERP purchasing module.
System-recorded bid evaluation
Every offer submitted is captured by the system and scored against pre-set selection criteria. This removes subjective inconsistency from the evaluation stage and produces a defensible, auditable record of how the award decision was reached.
Digital archive and audit trail
Automated workflows replace manual document handling, and every stage of the process is stored in a structured digital archive. Compliance reviews and internal audits can be completed without reconstructing paper trails.
Modular, configurable architecture
The platform is structured in modules. Your organisation activates the stages it needs — whether that is pre-qualification only, full end-to-end sourcing, or anything in between — so the system conforms to your process rather than the other way around.
Single lifecycle system
Supplier identification, sourcing events, evaluation and contract awarding all sit in one digital system. Eliminating handoffs between disconnected tools is one of the primary reasons cycle time falls.

Common questions from procurement leads
How does the platform actually reduce sourcing cycle time?
The platform cuts cycle time by replacing manual administration — email chains, spreadsheet tracking, document filing — with automated workflows and a digital archive. Pre-qualification, bid collection and evaluation all run within one system, removing the delays caused by handoffs between disconnected tools. The platform is presented as cutting sourcing cycle time by 40%.
Can we configure the platform to match our existing approval process rather than rebuilding our workflows around it?
Yes. The modular architecture means your organisation enables only the stages it needs and structures approvals to reflect your internal governance. You are not required to adopt a fixed workflow, and the platform can be scoped to cover pre-qualification only, full end-to-end sourcing, or any combination of stages in between.
How does the platform support auditability and compliance requirements?
Every stage of the process is digital and transparent. All offers are system-recorded, selection criteria are applied uniformly across all bids, and a timestamped digital archive is maintained automatically throughout each sourcing event. Audit evidence is therefore always available and complete without any manual reconstruction.
We have suppliers who are less familiar with digital procurement tools — how does onboarding work?
Because the entire sourcing lifecycle runs within a single digital system, suppliers interact through one consistent environment for qualification, RFx responses and clarifications. All communications are logged automatically, which simplifies the process for suppliers as well as buyers. The 8/5 in-house support team from Smart Solutions Group is available to assist both buying organisations and their supplier communities during onboarding and ongoing use.
What 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 part of Smart Solutions Group, not a third-party service desk, which means the people assisting your team have direct knowledge of the platform and its configuration options.
Is this platform proven in large or complex procurement environments?
The platform is used by large Azerbaijani enterprises including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz — organisations with high procurement volumes and demanding compliance requirements — confirming that the system has been deployed and operates effectively at significant scale and complexity.
