ProcureKey

What ProcureKey is

ProcureKey is an eSourcing platform for procurement teams managing purchase requests, sourcing events, supplier bids, evaluations, and awards. It handles RFQ, RFP, and RFI templates, along with more than 15 auction formats, including reverse, multi-round, and Japanese-drop auctions. Forward auctions are on the roadmap and are not live yet. Buyers can compare bids by line item, use weighted scoring, split awards, and accept bids in multiple currencies. AI can draft RFQ descriptions, assess proposals against published criteria, and suggest suppliers based on history, qualifications, and compliance status. A supplier portal supports proposal submission, self-registration, and OTP verification. Purchase requisitions can move through multiple approval levels and become RFx events after approval. Listed integrations include SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Workday, ServiceNow, Power BI, Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint, alongside APIs and secure data exchange. ProcureKey is built on Microsoft SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365. The company says most teams are running within a week and offers training and ongoing assistance, including help with AI automation. It lists SMB, mid-market, and enterprise procurement teams among its intended users. The product is available on the web and through an API. Pricing is available on request, with a seven-day free trial that requires no credit card.
