NGO procurement

Procurement your donors can audit in minutes, not days

From requisition to receipt, every step — approvals, quotations, committee decisions, deliveries — linked in one chain that assembles its own audit file.

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, you are exactly who this was built for.

Retro-dated approvals

The go-ahead came verbally; the signature came after delivery. Auditors read that as fabrication.

Quotation theatre

Three quotes on file, but two were never real competitors — and donors are getting better at spotting it.

Scattered procurement files

Requisition in a cabinet, quotes in email, minutes on a shared drive, invoice in accounts.

Emergency purchases as the norm

Poor planning turns every activity into an urgent purchase that bypasses the policy.

How teams get started

1

Load your policy thresholds

Petty cash, three-quote, and committee levels configured to match your procurement manual.

2

Run a live procurement

One real purchase goes request → approval → RFQ → award → receipt in the system.

3

Pull the audit file

Open the finished procurement and see the complete chain — the file assembled itself.

Frequently asked questions

Can approval thresholds match our procurement manual?

Yes — approval chains are configured per threshold (e.g. program manager to KES 50,000, committee above KES 250,000) and enforced by the system, so the compliant path is the only path.

How does it prevent fake quotations?

RFQs go to suppliers from a maintained database simultaneously, responses are timestamped, and comparisons are recorded with the award decision. Award concentration reports make repeat-winner patterns visible.

What about purchases in remote areas?

Field staff document reality with mobile capture: photos of goods, market price attestations, and GPS-stamped records that sync when back online — documentation donors accept.

Does it work with our finance system?

Procurement lives alongside AWRA's finance modules, so committed and actual spend hit grant budgets automatically. Integrations are available if you keep an existing ledger.
