Frequently asked questions
Can we use our existing suppliers?
Yes. Invite them; they register free, verify their company once and receive your RFQs.
Do suppliers pay?
No. Supplier accounts are free and Procura takes no commission on awards.
Does Procura integrate with our ERP?
Through the HTTP API and CSV exports today. Packaged ERP connectors are on the roadmap.
Does Procura support Arabic?
Arabic is the default language, with a full right-to-left layout. English is one click away.
How are bids protected?
Prices and notes are encrypted when submitted and opened only when the deadline passes, for everyone at once.
How do approval limits work?
Awards route by value: manager up to SAR 100k, CFO to 500k, CEO above. The person who raised a request never approves it.
Can finance use Procura?
Yes. Accounts payable matches invoices, records payment instructions and settles them against bank references.
Can auditors review transactions?
Every action is written to a tamper-evident audit trail, and the chain can be verified from inside the platform.
Where is data hosted?
On managed cloud infrastructure in the EU today; in-Kingdom hosting in Dammam is planned.
Does Procura execute payments?
No. It records payment instructions and bank references. Money never passes through the platform.
How long does implementation take?
A team can raise its first RFQ on the day it signs up. Wider rollout depends on your approval structure.
Can we begin with one department?
Yes. Start with one cost centre and add teams as you go.
Documentation
The HTTP API is documented in the platform README with every endpoint, who may call it, and the body it takes. CSV exports cover orders, invoices, payments, bids, spend, savings and the audit trail.
