The gap Procol leaves behind

Procol's pipeline ends when the invoice is paid. For any company that owns physical inventory — manufacturers, BFSI ATMs, pharma cold-chain, hospitals, broadcasters — that's where the work begins.

Asset registration on GRN

When goods are received, ProcurePulse automatically creates the asset record, attaches it to the PO, and starts depreciation from day one. Procol records receipt and stops there — your finance team re-keys assets into a separate spreadsheet or ERP.

VTR — Physical audit you can prove

Verify, Tag & Reconcile is our proprietary mobile-led audit methodology. Auditors walk the floor, scan tags, reconcile against the register, and generate the CARO 2020 / IND AS 16 evidence pack. Procol has no audit module of any kind.

Disposal & reverse auctions

When equipment retires, run a reverse auction to maximise recovery value. Track e-waste compliance and recycler chain-of-custody. Procol's pipeline doesn't acknowledge this stage exists.

One vendor, one contract, one bill

Pairing Procol with a separate asset management product means two vendors, two integrations, two SLAs. ProcurePulse is a single platform, single contract, single source of truth from PR to disposal.
