Manufacturing

Sourcing for manufacturers, from spec to settled invoice

Contract manufacturing runs on specifications, lead times and whether the last order arrived complete. All three are searchable here.

Every supplier maps their own attribute onto the shared spec, so the millimetres mean the same thing on all three rows.

What goes wrong today — and what answers it

The problem

The shortlist starts from scratch every time

A buyer who found four capable shops for last year's programme is usually starting again this year, because the shortlist lived in an inbox or a spreadsheet that has since moved on.

In ProcuraHQ

Search the specification, not the sales copy

Filter by bore, wall thickness, working pressure, material and finish across every listed catalogue, with unit conversion handled so a supplier working in inches is still comparable.

Spec search
The problem

Capability is described, not searchable

Directories let you search words in a company description. They do not let you ask for a 50 mm bore in 316 stainless, which is the question that actually decides whether a shop can quote.

In ProcuraHQ

Keep the shortlist, and reuse it

Save suppliers to a named list, annotate why each is on it, and turn the list into an RFQ invitation group in one action rather than repeating the search.

Supplier directory
The problem

Nobody can tell you who delivers

On-time performance lives in an ERP the buyer cannot query and the next buyer cannot see at all, so every sourcing decision is made without the one number that predicts the next one.

In ProcuraHQ

Delivery record, earned

On-time rate is computed from the date each supplier promised when they accepted the order, against when the goods were actually received. No supplier can edit it, and the order count is shown beside it.
