Procurement Control Tower Procurement Control Tower

Procurement Control Tower

The control tower your ERP never had.

One live view of stock cover, demand, open orders and supplier delivery — built on the exports your ERP already produces.

  • Reads the files you already export
  • Never writes back to your ERP
  • Several companies, one deployment
The Cockpit screen: four summary tiles reading 14 order now, 16 order next month, 91 on track, above a table listing each item with its available stock, open sales orders, open purchase orders, arrivals by month, months of cover and a recommendation.

The problem

The data already exists. The decision doesn’t.

It is already in your ERP

Stock on hand, open purchase orders, confirmed sales demand, goods receipts, consumption history. Every number needed to decide what to buy is in the system somewhere.

It arrives as four spreadsheets

Stock in one tab, open orders in another, sales orders in a third, lead-time assumptions in somebody’s head. The merge is manual, it is error-prone, and it is redone from scratch every week.

And the reasoning disappears

The order gets raised. Three months later nobody can reconstruct why that quantity, from that supplier, on that date — because the reasoning only ever existed in a meeting.

How it works

Four steps, one screen, every week.

No connector to install, no middleware, no IT project. The loop runs on files your team can export today.

01

Refresh

Drop in the exports you already run. A mapping engine reads your column names, not ours, and records every upload in a ledger you can roll back.

02

See

Every item in one table: stock available, open sales demand, open purchase orders, arrivals month by month, and months of cover.

03

Decide

Order now, order next month, or on track — computed from your own lead times, safety stock and service levels, with the formula shown rather than hidden.

04

Record

Run the review inside the app. Actions, owners and outcomes are captured as an audit trail instead of evaporating when the meeting ends.

The whole loop, step by step

Coverage

From forecast to freight, in one place.

Seventeen screens, grouped into the five questions a procurement team actually has to answer.

Plan

What will we need, and when do we run out?

  • Cockpit
  • Calendar
  • Forecast Lab
  • Formulas

Source

Who supplies it, at what price, approved by whom?

  • Sourcing
  • Workflow
  • Follow-ups

Move

Where is it, what did it cost to land, and who was late?

  • Logistics
  • Schedules

Sell

What did we promise customers, and at what price?

  • Sales
  • Quotations

Govern

Who decided what, on what evidence?

  • Meetings
  • Decisions
  • Analytics
  • Refresh
  • Team

All seventeen screens

Works with your ERP

It doesn’t touch your ERP. That’s the point.

Your ERP stays the system of record. This is the system of decision. Nothing is written back, no connector is installed, no ERP project is opened.

How a typical supply-chain control tower connects to an ERP, compared with Procurement Control Tower
Aspect A typical control tower Procurement Control Tower
Connection to the ERP A live connector or middleware layer Files you already export
Who has to be involved IT, your ERP partner, extra licences The procurement team, alone
Write access to the ERP Often required None. Ever.
Risk to the system of record Real, and permanent None — it cannot reach it
Time to a useful screen Weeks of onboarding One upload

If it disappeared tomorrow, your ERP would not notice.

What it reads, and what it never writes

Built to be trusted

Built like software that runs a business.

Not a prototype that grew. The guarantees below are enforced by the release process, not by good intentions.

100%

of tables locked to a single company

Separation between companies is enforced by the database itself and audited automatically. If a single table regresses, the deploy is blocked before it reaches anyone.

600+

automated tests before anything ships

Every screen, on desktop and on a phone, plus the calculations behind them. The deploy script refuses to run if one of them fails.

Daily

full backup of everything

A complete copy of production taken daily onto separate infrastructure, with a restore path that has been rehearsed rather than assumed.

Security and data isolation

Already running in production.

Several companies use it every week, each seeing only their own data. If you have an account, your workspace is one click away.
