Capital Project Procurement Software for Complex Manufacturing
New lines, plant expansions and tooling programmes bought in packages, with every change priced before the work starts.
It starts here
A request, supplier response, due date, quality event or data condition starts the workflow instead of an email starting a conversation.

Work enters the governed record
What happens
A request, supplier response, due date, quality event or data condition starts the workflow instead of an email starting a conversation.
Today
- The project plan sits in a spreadsheet only the project manager can read.
- Changes are agreed by email and priced afterwards.
- Contractor qualification is assumed because the firm has worked here before.
- Committed spend is known at month end, from finance.
The agent executes the authorised work
What happens
Events are prepared, eligible suppliers invited, responses chased and made comparable, drafts produced and approvals routed.
Under governed execution
- Each package has a scope, a budget and an approval route in one place.
- Every change is priced and approved before the work starts.
- Contractors carry current documents before they are invited to quote.
- Committed spend is visible the moment a package is awarded.
The parts that deliver this. Each one governed the same way.
-
01
Sourcing & RFx
Scopes each package and makes quotes comparable, including work priced by rate.
-
02
Contract lifecycle management
Holds the contract, the milestone schedule and every agreed change to scope.
-
03
Procure-to-Pay
Ties the release to a confirmed milestone instead of to an arriving invoice.
-
04
Supplier management
Qualifies contractors on insurance, safety and financial checks before they quote.
Important decisions return to people
What happens
Commercial awards, contractual acceptance, supplier status and out-of-policy situations reach a named person.
Every part above runs the same governed sequence. This is where it stops for a person.

You can pull the trail for any order, without reading a mailbox
Evidence without a separate tracker
Every action is attributed to an actor and the permission that allowed it, you can pull the trail for any order.
How this is adopted. One workflow at a time.
Start with the packages, not the project
Break the capital approval into the packages you will actually buy. Each one gets a scope, a budget and an approval route of its own.
Qualify the contractor list before you invite anyone
Insurance, safety record and financial checks are collected once, up front. This is the step most often skipped on projects and the one most often regretted.
Agree the change route before work starts
Specifications change on every project. Deciding in advance who prices a change and who approves it is what keeps the budget honest.
Tie the release to the milestone
Confirm the milestone in the platform, then approve the release. In that order, what you paid for always matches work somebody checked.

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.
Not ready to talk to anyone?
Fair enough. Both of these work without giving us your email.
