Papel Procurement
PP-00 Requisition to receipt, in one system of record

Every purchase on budget. {{ w.text }}

Papel Procurement takes a request from the person who needs it to the goods on the shelf: approvals, sealed tenders, budgets, currencies and purchase orders. Simple enough for any requester. Open enough for your IT team.

PP-02 For the people who buy

Nobody needs a manual to raise a requisition.

Every process runs through a guided wizard, from raising a requisition to setting up a tender, registering a supplier or writing a workflow rule. The requisition wizard asks what, how much and who pays. Every screen shows whose desk the request is on. Menus follow the role, so a requester never wades through tender settings and an auditor sees exactly what an auditor needs.

{{ w.label }}
A wizard for every process
Requisitions, tenders, supplier onboarding and workflow rules each follow short guided steps, with checks before anything is submitted.

Always know who is next
A live timeline names the pending approver and the due date. Stalled steps send a reminder, then escalate.
Português English + your language

Built in Lusophone procurement vocabulary, with English per user and further languages added from the admin screen.
Requester Approver Buyer Committee Receiving Auditor
Screens that follow the role
Each person sees only what their role permits, and segregation of duties is checked at every action.
PP-03 Purchase routes and authorisation ceilings

The right route and the right signatures for every amount.

Your approval matrix maps value band, category and department to an ordered chain of approvers, in series or in parallel. Once a request is submitted its chain is frozen, so editing the matrix never changes an approval already running. Move the amount to see it work.

Requester ≠ approver. Whoever issues a direct order may not record its receipt. The rules are enforced by the system, not a policy document.
PP-04 Tender encryption and lock until opening

Bids stay sealed until the opening. Nobody can look early, not even an administrator.

AES-256-GCM per tender. Each bid is bound to its tender and bidder. It cannot be moved or re-attributed.
A fingerprint at submission. The SHA-256 of every bid is recorded on receipt. A substituted bid will not match.
Opened in a recorded ceremony. Only after the deadline, with a named opener and an optional second officer. The opening record is generated for you.
The server clock decides. Late submissions are rejected and recorded, never silently dropped.
Enforced in the database. The application can insert bids but not read them. The guarantee survives a compromised application.

PP-05 Budget monitoring and currencies

Know what is left before you spend it.

Every approval, order and receipt moves the cost centre's ledger on its own. Owners see committed, ordered and realised spend as it happens, and alerts fire at the thresholds you choose.

Forex configurator
Set a base currency and the currencies each tender accepts. Every bid is ranked in the base currency at the rate in force on the opening date. A future-dated rate never counts, and a missing rate is shown as missing, never as 1.0.

PP-06 Workflows

Rules that notify, assign and announce. People still decide.

Build a rule with the wizard: an event, conditions on any field, and up to three kinds of action. Simulate it against past records before you switch it on. No rule can approve, invite or publish on anyone's behalf.

PP-08 For IT managers

Plugs into what you run. Bends to how you work.

A REST API with scoped keys, outbound webhooks, scheduled SFTP exchange and ERP connectors with mapping profiles. Every integration acts through the same rules as a person: the sealed box, segregation of duties and the audit trail apply to it too.

API key · ERP connector
Active
One scope per resource and verb, never "everything". Pick scopes; the key gets the minimum role they need and nothing more.
This key acts as {{ it.roles }}
REST API
Read requisitions, tenders, prices, orders, contracts and the audit trail. Write master data, suppliers, budgets, rates and orders.
Webhooks
Signed deliveries to your endpoints, with retries and a delivery log.
SFTP exchange
Scheduled file transfers in and out: cost centres and suppliers in, purchase orders out.
ERP connectors
Mapping profiles over any mix of the three transports, configured without code.
Customise from the admin screens
Your institution's rules live in settings, each with its own screen and its own audit entry.
Your colours, typeface and logo across every screen, letter and e-mail.
