An Intuitive SaaS Procurement Management Platform
Contraqer partnered with Avenga to build a highly specialized SaaS procurement platform tailored to the specific needs of procurement managers. The idea behind Contraqer was to give buyers all the tools they need to manage their purchases and make the very process of buying as automated as possible – from initial request to order fulfillment.
Introduction
Contraqer is a well-renown web-based procurement management platform. It is recognized for automating the entire procurement process all the way through RFQ generation to support contract and returns management. Seeing so many companies and government resellers still using Excel Spreadsheets and Outlook to manage their procurement, Contaqer decided to make the process easier, faster, and more efficient for many clients.

3x
Optimized procurement management process that automates the entire process from request to payment

100%
Centralized data access in one cloud-based platform, ensuring easy, secure, 24/7 availability
Challenge
One of the toughest parts was making the platform both advanced from the technical standpoint (with all the security mechanisms implemented at the architectural level so that the platform can store large amounts of sensitive data) and easy enough to master even for non-technical users.
Another challenge was designing and implementing a robust RFQ import, scan, and score functionality. We had to build a separate, fast, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective solution that could handle huge loads.
