Procurement & Supplier Management
Procura (formerly Procurely)
Procurement and supplier decision-support platform
Role
Overview
Procurement and supplier decision-support platform. Designed, built and owned by me. In use since May 2026 at a long-established Iranian cosmetics and personal-care manufacturer, and since July 2026 at a London wholesale food supplier.
Focus Areas
In operational use since May 2026
A bilingual (EN/FA) procurement platform covering purchase requests, supplier enquiries, quotation collection and comparison, split-award selection, purchase orders and delivery follow-up. Suppliers work through their own portal and see only the enquiries sent to them (PostgreSQL row-level security). The same product is configured for each customer, not rebuilt.
AI Capabilities
Smart Supplier Recommendation
Ranks invited suppliers by reliability, response rate and historical win rate.
Price Anomaly Detection
Flags quotations that deviate from historical and peer pricing.
AI-Assisted Winner Selection
Weighted scoring (price 60% / delivery 20% / reliability 20%) with automatic split-award suggestion when top scores are within 5%.
Negotiation Assistant
Drafts context-aware messages with separate buyer and supplier prompts; competitor data is masked from suppliers.
Conversational Report Assistant
Natural-language reporting interface that generates operational reports on demand.
Demand & Price Forecasting
A ridge-based additive model blended with gradient boosting, run separately for each item and company over weekly procurement history.
