Yes. Enterprise procurement can start with your preferred-provider strategy and use the broader CROaccess network when a project needs additional capability, capacity, geography, or competitive proposals.
CROprocure supports sourcing, price negotiation, purchase-order coordination, order tracking, returns, invoice and accounts-payable coordination, supplier onboarding, documentation, and vendor communication.
It is designed for biotech, pharma, and research organizations that need more structure and visibility than a marketplace alone provides, without forcing every project into the same procurement model.
