Consolidate Spend. Enforce Policy. Govern the Entire Procurement Operation.
Procurement leaders are held accountable for spend outcomes they often cannot fully see. Teams buy from unapproved suppliers. Contracts are signed but not enforced at the purchase level. Maverick spend compounds quietly across departments until it surfaces as a budget problem. Borong gives CPOs and procurement teams the infrastructure to close those gaps, before they cost money.
The Procurement Leader's Problem
The policy exists. The contracts are negotiated. The approved supplier list is documented. But none of it is built into the system through which people actually buy. So policy gets ignored. Contracts get bypassed. The approved supplier list sits in a folder nobody opens.
Procurement teams spend their time chasing compliance after the fact, rather than governing it before it happens. The result is a function that works hard but cannot demonstrate its value clearly, because the spend data is too fragmented to tell a coherent story.
What Borong Gives Procurement Teams
Policy Enforcement at the Point of Purchase
Borong Procure embeds your procurement policy into the purchasing workflow. Approved supplier lists, pre-negotiated contract rates, and spending authorisation limits are configured once and enforced automatically on every transaction. Employees cannot buy off-catalogue because the catalogue only shows what they are authorised to purchase. Policy is not communicated. It is built in.
Multi-Level Approval Workflows
Configure approval hierarchies that match your organisational structure: by department, cost centre, financial threshold, or product category. Routine low-value purchases route to a single approver. High-value or cross-department orders escalate automatically. Approvers receive notifications through email and mobile. Escalation rules prevent approvals from stalling when someone is unavailable.
Verified Supplier Network at Scale
Borong Marketplace gives procurement teams access to 37.9K+ vetted suppliers across core business categories. Every supplier on the platform has gone through a structured verification process covering business registration, product legitimacy, and fulfilment capability. Your team sources from a verified network, not from whoever is convenient.
MIDAS: Price Intelligence That Holds Suppliers Accountable
MIDAS continuously analyses network transaction data to establish market-based benchmarks across core categories. Prices are kept within contracted rates or benchmark ranges so savings are built into every purchase, not negotiated after the fact. When spend falls outside contract or benchmark, the system flags it immediately. Because MIDAS operates independently of any selling interest, the benchmarks reflect genuine market conditions, not margin-driven recommendations. Procurement teams get the data to hold suppliers accountable in negotiations, category reviews, and budget conversations.
Consolidated Spend Visibility Across the Organisation
Borong's spend analytics consolidates purchasing data from across all departments, entities, and categories into a single dashboard. Procurement leaders can see total organisational spend, track category performance over time, identify where maverick spending is occurring, and measure on-contract purchasing rates by business unit. The data is current. Not last month.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we load our existing supplier contracts and agreed pricing into Borong?
Borong's onboarding team works with your procurement function to load existing contract terms, agreed rates, and approved supplier catalogues into the platform. Suppliers on your approved list go through Borong's verification process and are surfaced to your team at the contracted rate. This is managed by Borong's onboarding team and completed as part of the initial implementation.
Can we restrict which categories are visible to which departments?
Yes. Catalogue visibility is configurable at the department, cost centre, or user level. A marketing team sees only the categories relevant to their purchasing. A facilities team sees MRO and cleaning supplies. Users cannot browse or purchase from categories outside their configured access.
What if we need a supplier who is not in the Borong network?
Your team can nominate suppliers for onboarding. Borong handles the verification and platform setup. Once onboarded, the supplier's products appear in your catalogue at your agreed pricing. For strategic supplier relationships outside the network, this is the standard path to bring them on platform.
How do we measure whether Borong is reducing maverick spend over time?
Borong's spend analytics shows on-contract versus off-contract purchasing rates by department, category, and time period. You can track maverick spend as a percentage of total spend, compare by business unit, and set category-level targets.
What happens with tail-spend categories where we have no existing contracts?
For categories without an existing contract, Borong Marketplace provides access to a verified supplier network at benchmark-aligned commercial rates. Your procurement team can review supplier options. We benchmark pricing through MIDAS, and establish category-level controls before the category goes live to end users, without requiring a full RFQ process for every category.
