Most African SMEs do not know in real time how much they spend, with which suppliers and on which categories. Data is fragmented across buyer spreadsheets, paper invoices and bank statements. The result: purchasing decisions without data, invisible dominant suppliers, and budgets consumed before quarter-end with no alert. Procura centralises all P2P cycle data, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, receipts, invoices, payments, and makes it immediately actionable in a unified dashboard. Every XOF, XAF or FCFA spent is categorised, attributed and measurable in real time.
Procura's dashboard breaks down spend across all relevant dimensions: purchasing category, supplier, requesting department, cost centre, period and project. Every dimension is filterable and exportable as CSV for the accountant or CFO.
Procura records the budget commitment at PO issuance (encumbrance accounting) and updates it at every cycle step. The CFO sees at all times the committed budget, the consumed budget and the available budget, without waiting for month-end close.
Procura automatically analyses spend data and generates recommendations: over-concentrated suppliers (dependency risk), categories with price variance between suppliers (renegotiation potential), off-contract invoices, and repeated off-tender purchases.
For each supplier, Procura calculates average delivery lead times, invoice compliance rate, number of disputes and spend volume over the period. These indicators feed a supplier score that guides future RFQ decisions.
Procura automatically identifies invoices arriving without a prior purchase order (maverick spend), off-catalogue purchases and delegation overruns. These anomalies are flagged to the procurement manager and internal controller without manual action.
For groups present in multiple OHADA countries, Procura consolidates spend from all entities in a single CFO dashboard, with breakdown by country, currency and entity. Each entity manages its own budgets and operations; the holding has the consolidated view.
In real time. As soon as a purchase order is issued or an invoice is validated, Procura dashboards are updated. There is no overnight batch or delayed synchronisation.
Yes. All Procura analytics views are exportable as CSV. For Power BI, Tableau or other BI tools, an API connection is available for Enterprise clients.
Yes. SEPA transfers, Canadian EFT, bank transfers and Mobile Money are all included in every report and dashboard on the same basis. No data is excluded based on the payment channel.
Yes. Procura sends alerts when a budget reaches a defined threshold (for example 80% consumed) or when a department exceeds its allocation. Alerts are received by the CFO, the budget manager and the relevant procurement manager.
Yes. Expense reports processed in Procura are included in spend analytics, categorised and attributed to their department. They appear in actual budget and the CFO dashboard.
Spend analytics is included natively in Procura, not as an additional option. The budget vs actual dashboard, supplier KPIs and AI insights are accessible from initial setup.
