Auctions as a one-off event. Or as a repeatable process.
The auction format is configured for the category
What happens
Reverse, ranked or lot-based formats, opening values, decrement rules, duration and extension behaviour.
Formats that fit the category
Reverse, ranked and lot-based events with your own decrement and extension rules.
The event runs with live monitoring
What happens
Bid movements, supplier activity and lot positions are visible as the event proceeds.
Lots that match delivery points
Compare on delivered cost across plants, not on an ex-works price nobody pays.
The approved outcome moves into contracting or purchasing
What happens
Awarded lots open a contract draft or a purchasing workflow with the agreed terms attached.
Live event visibility
Bid movement, supplier activity and lot position as it happens.
Competitive tension. Inside supplier eligibility.

Eligibility enforced at invitation
A supplier without current qualification cannot bid without a named exception.

Intervention only where policy allows
Every extension and adjustment is recorded with the person who made it.

The result carries forward
Awarded lots open a contract or purchase directly, with the bid history attached.
The auction format is configured for the category
What happens

See exactly where it runs. And exactly where it stops for you.
Six stages, each with a control you can point at. One of them waits for a person.

See eAuctions run on one of your own eauctions workflows, including the part that usually goes wrong.
Someone from client success replies, not a sales sequence. The assessment asks for no email.

Authority written down
Each agent carries an enumerated permitted-action set and a value ceiling you configure per entity.
Checkpoints that cannot be bypassed
Consequential decisions return to the people your policy names, and no configuration removes them.
Reconstructable
- Original request text
- Retained
- Rule that fired
- CAT-DRV-02
- Approvals and approvers
- Recorded
- Purchase order
- Written to ERP
Retrievable per transaction, without reading a mailbox
Evidence without a separate tracker
Every action is attributed to an actor and the permission that allowed it, retrievable per transaction.
What we need from you. Less than you think.
Your policy, written down
The thresholds, approvers and buying routes you already operate. Configuration is transcription, not redesign.
One data connection
Read access to the master and transaction data this workflow needs. Write-back is scoped separately.
A named process owner
One person who can settle "what should happen when…" without convening a committee.
Work with your existing tools.
Proconomy connects to the systems you already run. The ERP stays the system of record.

Bring us a real eAuctions problem. Not a vendor scenario.
Not a vendor scenario — one of yours, including the part that usually goes wrong. You will see where the agents act, where the platform stops, and what it leaves on the record.
Someone from client success replies, not a sales sequence. If we are not a fit we will say so on the first call.
Not ready to talk to anyone?
Fair enough. Both of these work without giving us your email.
