New: what governed autonomous procurement actually means
Proconomy · Solutions · By spend

MRO Procurement Software Built for Plant Speed

Fast governed routes for plant needs, with escalation timings set per site and enterprise controls still applying.

It starts here

A request, supplier response, due date, quality event or data condition starts the workflow instead of an email starting a conversation.

Proconomy runs

What changes. And what stays exactly where it is.

Today

Urgent buying happens outside the system and is reconciled later.,Central buyers cannot see which requests are line-critical.,Local supplier relationships are invisible to the group.,Emergency spend appears only in the invoice.

Under governed execution

Urgent buying runs inside the system on a faster governed route.,Urgency and downtime context travel with the request.,Local suppliers hold entity-scoped approval.,Emergency spend is visible as it happens, with its justification.

The parts that deliver this. Each one governed the same way.

  1. 01

    Procure-to-Pay

    Catalogue and contracted buying with plant-level thresholds.

  2. 02

    Intake & orchestration

    Captures urgency and downtime context, then routes accordingly.

  3. 03

    Multi-entity management

    Plant-specific escalation timings and approval authority.

  4. 04

    eAuctions

    Consolidates repeat MRO categories once the spend is visible.

See exactly where it runs. And exactly where it stops for you.

The operating model behind every workflow on this page. One stage waits for a person.

  1. Trigger

    Work enters the governed record

    Nothing depends on a person noticing an inbox.

  2. Agent

    The agent gathers what the decision needs

    Work arrives decision-ready rather than partially formed.

  3. Rule

    Rules decide what may happen next

    The route is chosen by policy, not by who received the request.

  4. Agent

    The agent executes the authorised work

    Routine work progresses without a buyer moving every step.

  5. Human

    Consequential decisions return to people

    Authority stays exactly where your policy puts it.

  6. System

    The approved outcome reaches the system of record

    No manual re-entry, and the ERP stays authoritative.

  7. Record

    The complete history is retained

    A decision can be explained long after it was made.

Seen enough?

See this running on one of your own workflows, with your policy and your thresholds applied.

Someone from client success replies, not a sales sequence. The assessment asks for no email.

Answer “who approved this, and why” in seconds. Not in weeks.

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.

Evidence without a separate tracker

Every action is attributed to an actor and the permission that allowed it, retrievable per transaction.

How this is adopted. One workflow at a time.

01

Configure the emergency route first

Design the fast governed path before anything else, because that is the route bypass currently uses.

02

Bring local suppliers into approved scope

Entity-scoped approval keeps the relationship while making the spend visible.

03

Put the frequent items into a catalogue

Most MRO volume is repeat purchasing. Catalogue coverage removes most of the manual work immediately.

04

Consolidate once the data exists

Cross-plant MRO consolidation becomes obvious as soon as plants execute in the same platform.

Bring the workflow this describes. Not a vendor scenario.

One of your own processes, 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.
