Procurement execution does not scale. That is the problem we work on.

Why Proconomy exists

Most complex manufacturers have solved the recording problem. Their ERP captures requisitions, purchase orders, receipts and invoices accurately, and the financial controls around those records work.

What has not been solved is the execution problem. Experienced procurement people still interpret requests, decide which process applies, chase suppliers and approvers, rebuild comparisons in spreadsheets and retype approved outcomes into the ERP. That work is invisible in procurement reporting and expensive in practice.

Why complex manufacturing needs a different approach

Manufacturing procurement is not a single process. It spans direct materials with engineering and quality dependencies, indirect and services buying across every function, and plant-level MRO where speed matters more than analysis. It runs across several plants and legal entities that genuinely operate differently.

A platform that forces those into one uniform process does not survive contact with the plants. That is why group policy and local configuration are separated deliberately in our design rather than treated as a customisation problem.

What we believe about autonomy

Software that only recommends leaves the employee as the executor, which is why AI pilots so often produce interest without capacity. Software that acts without a clear authority boundary does not survive an enterprise security review — nor should it.

Our position is that autonomy has to operate inside explicit enterprise authority. People define policies, permissions, thresholds and approvals. Agents execute what they are permitted to execute. Everything consequential returns to a person, and every material action remains explainable, overridable and auditable.

Our product philosophy

• Show what an agent does, not what AI could theoretically do.
• Make governance a demonstrable feature rather than a paragraph in a policy.
• Keep the ERP as the system of record, because replacing it solves nothing here.
• Let customers start with one workflow and expand on one foundation.
• Say clearly what the product does not yet do.

How we talk about proof

Most procurement software is sold on a slide. We would rather run one of your workflows in front of you: the agent acting, the rule that stopped it, the person it escalated to, and the record it left behind. If it does not hold up in that session, no case study was going to save it.

Any figure we put in front of you is built from your baseline, with the arithmetic visible.

Who is behind it

Proconomy is built by a small team across product, engineering, client success and marketing. Every one of them is named, with a link to their own profile, on the leadership page.

Our ambition

To become the procurement operating platform through which complex manufacturers govern and execute work across sourcing, contracts, purchasing, suppliers and quality — with more capacity, faster execution and control that strengthens rather than weakens.
