Frequently Asked Questions
- Marine procurement software helps ship managers and shipowners source goods and services they need to operate their vessels. Unlike a general purchasing system, it is built around maritime requirements such as vessel requisitions, marine suppliers, RFQs, port availability, lead times and deliveries across a moving fleet.
- Marcura connects purchasing teams to the largest global network of marine suppliers through ShipServ. Teams can find suppliers based on what they provide and where they operate, invite suitable suppliers to quote and use SpotSource when they need additional help finding supply for a particular requirement.
- Marine procurement software connects with existing marine ERP and purchasing systems rather than replacing them. Requisitions, RFQs, supplier responses, purchase orders and confirmations can move between systems as structured data, reducing rekeying while allowing the ERP to remain the system of record.
- Suppliers can be verified before responding to an RFQ and monitored against relevant sanctions lists throughout the purchasing process. Marine procurement software can also support IHM compliance by flagging items in RFQs and purchase orders that require documentation, prompting suppliers for MDs and SDoCs, and maintaining the records needed for audit-ready reporting.
- Purchasing criteria can tailored to how suppliers and quotes are assessed. Contracted terms can be applied automatically and preferred suppliers surfaced first, helping purchasers follow agreed buying policies while retaining the information needed to consider suitable alternatives.
- Ship managers can use data from RFQs, supplier responses, contracted prices, purchase orders and previous transactions to understand how and where money is being spent. Market benchmarking adds wider context, helping teams identify price differences, compare suppliers and focus negotiations on the largest opportunities.
- It reduces the administration involved in finding suppliers, issuing RFQs, reviewing responses, applying contracted terms and following up on orders. By automating routine steps and keeping information structured, it allows purchasers to concentrate on exceptions, supplier decisions and requirements that need their judgement.
- Marine procurement covers the process from requisition and sourcing through to purchase order and delivery. Once an invoice is received, Accounts Payable (AP) automation can support invoice capture, matching, approvals and exception handling. Marcura’s Procure-to-Pay capabilities connect these stages with invoice processing and payment, creating a more consistent flow of purchasing and financial data.
