Glossary term

Procurement orchestration

Procurement orchestration is the coordination of procurement decisions, people, evidence, suppliers, workflows, exceptions, and system handoffs across an enterprise process. It creates a governed operating layer around the transaction so each participant can act with relevant context. In VendrNova’s architecture, the ERP remains authoritative for agreed financial records rather than being replaced.
