Frequently Asked Questions

ProcurePulse is an enterprise Source-to-Retire (S2R) platform built by RCS Software. It covers the complete lifecycle from procurement and sourcing through asset management, maintenance, depreciation, and disposal. With 25+ years of development and 500+ enterprise clients, it is one of the most comprehensive procurement and asset management systems available.

Source-to-Retire extends beyond traditional Procure-to-Pay (P2P). While P2P covers requisition through payment, S2R continues the lifecycle into asset registration, tracking, maintenance, depreciation, audit, and eventual disposal or retirement. ProcurePulse manages this entire journey in a single platform.
