A single digital system covering the full procurement lifecycle — from supplier identification and pre-qualification through to tender management, evaluation and contract awarding — so no activity falls outside the governed process.
Standardise your tender process
Standardise your tender process — a practical approach with the Procure.az e-procurement platform.
The country’s largest companies trust us with their procurement
Standardise your tender process end to end
When every category manager runs tenders differently — some in spreadsheets, some through an ERP purchasing module, some by email — the result is inconsistent supplier treatment, gaps in the audit trail and a procurement cycle that is hard to govern or improve. Procure.az, built by Smart Solutions Group, addresses this directly. It unifies the procurement lifecycle from supplier identification through to contract awarding in a single digital system, replacing manual administration with automated workflows and a digital archive. Because every offer is system-recorded and selection criteria are applied uniformly across all responses, your organisation gains the consistency and transparency that auditors, finance teams and senior stakeholders expect. The platform's modular architecture means you configure it to your own process, enabling only the stages you need, so standardisation does not mean rigidity.
What your procurement team gains
Uniform application of pre-defined selection criteria across every tender response, eliminating the inconsistent or challengeable decisions that arise when evaluation is handled manually or differently by each category manager.
A complete, time-stamped digital archive that replaces paper-based and email-based administration, giving internal audit teams and external reviewers a clear, tamper-evident record at every stage.
Fully automated pre-qualification and sourcing workflows that remove repetitive manual steps, cutting sourcing cycle time by 40% and freeing category managers to focus on higher-value work.
A modular architecture configured to your organisation's own procurement policy, so you enable only the process stages relevant to your categories or business units rather than adopting a rigid, one-size-fits-all workflow.
Dedicated 8/5 in-house customer care from the team that built and maintains the platform, ensuring that support queries are resolved by people with direct, detailed knowledge of the system.
Platform capabilities that support a standardised tender process
End-to-end lifecycle coverage
Procure.az covers the entire procurement lifecycle — from identifying and pre-qualifying suppliers through to issuing tenders, evaluating responses and awarding contracts — within one digital system. There is no need to stitch together separate tools or reconcile data across platforms.
Automated pre-qualification and sourcing
Pre-qualification and sourcing workflows are fully automated, removing the manual steps that slow down cycle time and introduce inconsistency. Your team defines the rules once; the system applies them every time.
System-recorded offers and uniform evaluation
Every supplier offer is captured and stored by the system. Selection criteria are applied uniformly across all responses, giving your evaluation process a defensible, auditable record that stands up to internal and external scrutiny.
Modular, configurable architecture
The platform is built on a modular architecture and configured to your organisation's own process. You enable the stages that are relevant to your category or business unit, so the system supports your standards rather than replacing them with someone else's.
Digital archive and transparent process
Every stage of the process is digital and transparent. Automated workflows and a digital archive replace manual administration, giving procurement leads a clear, time-stamped record of decisions, communications and approvals.
Dedicated in-house support
Procure.az is supported by an in-house customer care team available 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Support is provided by the team that built and maintains the platform, not a third-party helpdesk.

Common questions from procurement teams
We already have an ERP purchasing module. Why would we use a dedicated e-sourcing platform?
An ERP purchasing module typically handles purchase orders and approvals well, but it is rarely designed for the competitive sourcing stages that precede a purchase decision — supplier pre-qualification, tender management and structured evaluation. Procure.az covers those stages in a single digital system, providing the consistent audit trail and process governance that general-purpose ERP tools do not prioritise. The two systems address different parts of the procurement lifecycle and are complementary rather than competing.
Can the platform be configured to our internal procurement process, or do we have to adopt a standard workflow?
The platform is built on a modular architecture and is configured to the buying organisation's own process. You enable the stages you need and leave unused modules inactive. Standardisation in this context means your own procurement policy is applied consistently every time, not that you must adopt a workflow designed for a different organisation's requirements.
How does the platform support auditability and compliance?
Every supplier offer is system-recorded and every stage of the process is digital and transparent. Automated workflows and a digital archive replace manual administration, producing a complete, time-stamped record of all submissions, evaluations, communications and award decisions. This record is available for review by internal audit functions or external parties without requiring manual reconstruction of the process.
How much time can we realistically expect to save on sourcing cycles?
The platform is designed to cut sourcing cycle time by 40% through the automation of pre-qualification and sourcing workflows. This reduction comes from eliminating the manual steps — chasing supplier documents, consolidating responses from email, reformatting evaluation sheets — that consume category manager time without adding analytical value. The result is that the same team can run a greater number of sourcing events within the same period.
Is this platform proven in large, complex organisations?
Procure.az is used by large Azerbaijani enterprises with significant procurement volumes and compliance requirements, including the SOCAR group, the PASHA group, Kapital Bank and Azəriqaz. These organisations operate across multiple categories and business units, which means the platform has been tested against the kind of process complexity and governance demands that smaller deployments do not surface.
