Procurement
Procurement runs on requests, budgets, suppliers and contracts spread across many systems. Bastion checks each step against your policies and history, so problems surface before the tender starts.
The requester describes what they need in their own words. Bastion checks that the request is complete, that the item is described clearly and that the budget covers the purchase. A request without enough budget goes back to its author with an explanation, before anyone spends weeks on a tender.
Decides: Head of procurement
Request 0411 returned: budget short by 18%
Bastion builds a list of suppliers from your own history and checks each one: past contracts and claims inside the company, sanctions lists and registries that come into the perimeter through a one-way feed, and data from your counterparty screening service, if it is connected. The buyer gets one profile per supplier with every finding and its source.
Decides: Buyer
Northline Pumps: 3 lawsuits over late deliveries
Bastion reads the tender documents and lists the requirements, deadlines and mandatory papers. When proposals arrive, it compares them on price, terms and fit with the requirements, and points out the documents a supplier forgot to send.
Decides: Tender committee
Vektor Supply leads, Aqua Industrial lacks a certificate
Bastion drafts the contract on the winning terms and sends it to legal for review against your contract policy. The budget was settled at the request stage and stays as it is.
Decides: Lawyer and head of procurement
Draft sent to legal, budget locked
When the goods arrive, Bastion matches the acceptance documents with the contract on quantities and dates and closes the request. Payment stays with finance.
Decides: Requester
Request 0412 closed, payment passed to finance

Bastion works with the laws and industry requirements of any jurisdiction. Your rules become sources it checks against.
We usually start with request review, where a missing budget or an unclear item is cheapest to fix.
A pilot takes three to four weeks. We choose one process with your team, connect one system and measure the result on real tasks.
