Government Procurement Software

The single software solution that combines the best elements of procurement, contract and supplier management technology, curated entirely for local councils. 

Councils are charged with generating the most from every dollar they spend. Experience tells us that the average council is unintentionally overspending the public dollar. Inadequate processes and an inability to get clear visibility to the performance of supplier spend are contributors. So is the inundation of staff of hundreds – even thousands – of procurement requests to process, manually, every day.

Find out how to optimise the spend of the public dollar to improve community outcomes and ratepayer prosperity, in our Guidebook to Public Dollar Optimisation.
