The platform

Every action connected.
Every decision in context.

A procurement workspace spanning requirements, RFQs, supplier collaboration and evaluation—with budgets, intelligence and automation in the product direction.

The workflow foundation

Structured sourcing.
Human decisions.

The workflow below draws on CrossBuy and BuyEx implementations. Akuiro packages and extends that foundation; exact launch scope is agreed for your rollout.

01 / REQUEST & RFQ

Give the process a clear starting point.

Organise what you need to buy and how suppliers should respond.

  • Purchase requisitions for materials and services
  • RFQ types, deadlines, priority and supporting documents
  • Combined or separate technical and commercial stages
  • ERP-originated requests within an agreed integration
02 / SUPPLIER COLLABORATION

Make a good response easier.

Collect comparable quotations while keeping requirements and questions in context.

  • Supplier invitations and event-specific access
  • Pricing, currencies, lead times, warranty and payment terms
  • Alternative proposals, components and discounts
  • Distinct technical and commercial attachments; clarifications and withdrawal
03 / TECHNICAL REVIEW

Put evidence in front of the right people.

A focused review stage for suitability before commercial selection.

  • Assigned reviewers and item-level or supplier-level review
  • Approve, reject with a reason or request clarification
  • Commercial pricing excluded from the technical reviewer view
  • Progress visibility across reviewers; conflict-of-interest reporting
04 / COMMERCIAL EVALUATION

Compare more than a price.

Bring terms and technical qualification into the award conversation.

  • Evaluation criteria covering price, delivery, payment and warranty
  • Offer comparison and configurable weighted scoring
  • Buyer-selected awards; scores inform the decision
  • Finalisation and supplier outcome notifications as distinct actions
05 / ORDER & ERP

Keep the outcome connected.

Translate an awarded sourcing event into the downstream purchasing process.

  • Purchase order generation for selected suppliers
  • Internal and ERP references in the demonstrated SAP flow
  • Order lifecycle states and procurement records
  • Integration mapping and responsibilities agreed per deployment
06 / WORKFLOW VISIBILITY

Follow the action, not the email trail.

Bring notifications, review states and records into the working context.

  • Event and item progress, responses and pending actions
  • Clarification history and purchasing records
  • Material price history and basic contract records in the predecessor
  • Save, submit, finalise and generate order remain distinct actions
The intelligence direction

From workflow visibility
to better-informed action.

Planned capabilities extend the operational foundation. They are part of the Akuiro vision, with rollout scope confirmed during discovery.

Reporting that fits

Interactive dashboards, category and contract views, KPIs and tailored reports for different stakeholders.

05Planned

Timely alerts

Budget thresholds, unusual activity, deadlines and contract reminders routed to the people who can act.

Questions worth asking.

Is Akuiro a full source-to-pay suite?

The strongest demonstrated foundation is sourcing, evaluation and purchasing connectivity. Invoice processing, payments and a complete native source-to-pay lifecycle are not presented as verified current capabilities.

Does a score automatically award a contract?

No. Weighted scoring supports comparison. In the demonstrated workflow, the buyer selects the award; automatic progression between stages is different from an automatic award.

Are all the intelligence features available now?

Budget controls, predictive analytics, advanced supplier performance, dashboards and expanded automation are planned. We discuss your priorities and confirm the release scope before making an implementation commitment.

Can we use our existing ERP?

Integration starts with system discovery, process mapping and data ownership. The predecessor demonstrates a SAP purchasing flow. Other systems and specific interfaces need an agreed integration scope.
