Procurement management for public entities and the companies that serve them

Every purchase on a trail of proof.

ProofTrail runs the whole procurement file, from requisition to payment. Approvals are signed in order, tenders follow the L.I. 2516 thresholds, contracts use the right PPA form, and an audit pack is ready whenever the auditors ask.

Your branding, your forms, your approval titles. Hosted for you, set up in days.

Why entities switch

The procurement file should not live in five inboxes.

These are the questions procurement teams tell us they dread. ProofTrail answers each one from the record.

"WHERE IS THE FILE?"

Approvals stall

Requisitions sit on desks and nobody knows who is holding them.

ProofTrail: every file shows who holds it and since when, and each hand-off sends an email.
"WHO APPROVED THIS?"

Audit queries

Signatures, minutes and evaluation reports are scattered or missing.

ProofTrail: signed steps, TEP minutes and evaluation reports are filed on the requisition, ready in one audit pack.
"WAS THE METHOD RIGHT?"

Threshold breaches

The wrong method or approving authority for the value is found too late.

ProofTrail: L.I. 2516 thresholds pick the method, approving authority and PPA contract form, and flag mismatches.
"DID WE GET WHAT WE PAID FOR?"

Payment without proof

Invoices are paid before deliveries are verified against the contract.

ProofTrail: Finance sees the contract, the verified delivery and the invoice side by side before paying.
See it working

A procurement file from requisition to payment, in 100 seconds.

Watch a sample organisation raise and approve a requisition, run the tender strategy, sign the contract, verify deliveries and sign for assets.

Sandbox access is personal, time-limited and runs on sample data only.

How it works

One file, eight hand-offs, nothing lost between offices.

Each person sees only what needs them. Every action sends an email and an in-app notice, and anything can be returned one step with a reason.

01
Requesting department

Requisition

Raised on your own form in a short, guided wizard, with scope, estimate and attachments.

02
Head of Department

Endorsement

Reviewed and signed, or returned to the requester with a reason.

03
Director of Finance

Budget

Budget line, account code and commitment confirmed before anything is spent.

04
Head of Entity

Approval and TEP

Final approval, with the Tender Evaluation Panel memo issued where the value requires it.

05
Procurement

Tender strategy

Method, estimate and bidders, concurred by the Procurement Manager and the Director of Procurement.

06
Officer and TEP

Closing and evaluation

GHANEPS evidence, offers and bidders recorded; the TEP uploads its report and minutes for review.

07
Contracts Administration

Contract, PO or FWA

The right PPA form by threshold, reviewed by Legal and the department, signed by the Head of Entity.

08
Department and Finance

Delivery and payment

Quantities verified against the contract, then invoice and payment recorded.

Modules

Built around the documents your auditors ask for.

Every screen below is the working product, with sample data from a demo entity.

ProofTrail · Requisition
    Compliance and audit

    The law is built in, not left to memory.

    ProofTrail decides who may act at each stage. Nobody signs their own file through, and every signature carries a time, a name and a document fingerprint.

    L.I. 2516 THRESHOLDS

    Method and authority by value

    RFQ, NCT, ICT and pre-qualification limits, and Head of Entity, Entity Tender Committee or CTRC approval, applied automatically.

    PPA FORMS

    The right contract every time

    Minor, RFQ, NCT, ICT, health, IT, textbooks, works, technical services, consultancy and framework agreement forms, filled from the file.

    AUDIT PACKS

    One click, start to finish

    Every record as a print-only PDF plus every upload, with a SHA-256 manifest so any later change can be detected.

    CONCURRENCE

    Tenders start only when cleared

    No tender begins, and no evaluation is accepted, until the Procurement Manager and the Director of Procurement concur.

    VERIFIED VENDORS

    Statutory documents on file

    Incorporation, SSNIT, GRA, VAT and PPA certificates, with expiry dates watched and vendors uploading their own.

    THREE-WAY MATCH

    Pay only for what arrived

    The approved contract, the verified delivery and the invoice side by side before payment, with the payee signing for receipt.

    Who it is for

    Made for organisations that must show their working.

    Questions

    What buyers usually ask first.

    Can we try it before we buy?

    Yes. Book a guided demo, and request a sandbox key for your team. The sandbox runs for 14 days on a sample organisation, with downloads and settings locked.

    Can we get a copy to install on our own servers?

    ProofTrail is a hosted subscription: you never install or maintain software. On Enterprise we run a dedicated copy for you on your own web address, with its own database. The software itself is licensed, not sold.

    Does the tender happen inside ProofTrail?

    No. Tenders run on GHANEPS, by email or by hard copy as your strategy says. ProofTrail records the approved strategy, the closing evidence and offers, the TEP report and minutes and their review, so the file is complete.

    Is it up to date with L.I. 2516?

    Yes. Method thresholds and approving authorities follow the Fifth and Second Schedules, and can be updated for your organisation when the law changes.

    Can we use our own forms and titles?

    Yes. Your name, logo, form reference and the titles of your Head of Entity and approvers appear on every form and memo your users print.

    Who can see our data?

    Only your organisation's users. Each organisation's records are kept separate in the database, and each person sees what their role allows.

    Does it work on phones?

    Yes. Approvals, signatures and acceptance work in a phone browser, and the app installs on a phone or desktop like any other app.

    Can we get our records out?

    Yes. Registers and reports download as Word, Excel or PDF, and audit packs collect every record from requisition to payment.
