Storinum Procurement · Module II
Offers that can't be compared
become decisions you can defend.
Suppliers respond in different formats, price different scopes, and allocate risk differently. Storinum structures everything into one system — trade-offs visible, true cost priced, negotiation leverage identified before you sit down.
What We Track
Four dimensions. Every offer, every round.
Suppliers don't present risk — they present price. The differences that determine the real cost of each option are buried across incomparable documents. Storinum tracks these four dimensions across every offer in every round, surfaces the trade-offs between them, and prices what each choice actually costs.
What's in the price — and what isn't
Headline CAPEX is not comparable across suppliers. Scope inclusions, exclusions, and undefined items differ. The system normalises offers to the same scope basis so you're comparing equivalent prices, not whatever each supplier chose to include.
- →Scope normalisation across the field
- →Undefined and referenced-but-unpriced items flagged
- →Payment structure and exposure compared
Configuration fit for your asset — not the supplier's standard range
Suppliers propose configurations that fit their product portfolio. The system scores each against your operating regime — cycles per day, depth of discharge, degradation trajectory — not against a generic technical checklist.
- →Configuration modelled against your dispatch profile
- →Degradation curves compared under the same assumptions
- →Technical trade-offs visible across the shortlist
Coverage on paper vs protection in practice
Terms are structured differently across every supplier. Coverage windows, labour scope, exclusions, and claim procedures are not comparable without parsing. Component-only coverage looks equivalent to full coverage until the first service event.
- →Labour and mobilisation scope scored per offer
- →Enforceability conditions flagged — baselines, documentation, claim windows
- →Warranty value comparable across the shortlist
Schedule, responsibility matrix, and who carries the risk if it slips
Almost every procurement includes contractual penalties — the question is whether the milestone structure and responsibility matrix are defined clearly enough to trigger them. Vague milestones and undefined interfaces mean delay risk sits with no one, and defaults to you.
- →Milestone structure and trigger conditions compared
- →Responsibility matrix gaps flagged across EPC and equipment
- →COD timeline risk quantified per supplier
Total Cost of Ownership
The price you see. The cost you carry.
Every trade-off between the four dimensions has a price. The system models what each choice actually costs over the asset's operating life — so the comparison isn't CAPEX vs CAPEX. It's total exposure vs total exposure.
How the system uses this
Each of these exposures is modelled per supplier and added to total cost of ownership alongside headline CAPEX. The ranked recommendation is based on TCO — not on who quoted lowest.
How Storinum Works
Four engines. Running in parallel.
These aren't features — they're the logic layers that run simultaneously across every round of procurement. Each one changes what you're able to see, decide, and enforce.
Risk premium engine
Translates every gap — missing milestone, vague scope, unenforced warranty condition — into a quantified risk premium. You see what each weakness actually costs, not just that it exists. Negotiation is about removing cost, not arguing about terms.
Quantified · Per offer · Per roundTrade-off engine
Models the interactions between price, technical, warranty, and delivery dimensions. Change one variable and see what moves across the others. Technical and commercial decisions stop being made in sequence and start being made as one connected system.
Cross-dimensional · Decision-gradeNegotiation engine
Generates supplier-specific negotiation angles per round — ranked by financial impact, with the contractual basis for each ask. You know which terms to push on before the conversation starts, and track exactly how suppliers move across rounds.
Per supplier · Per round · AuditableExecution memory
Post-contract, Storinum tracks what actually happened — COD slip, penalty activation, actual vs stated OPEX. Every deal makes the next evaluation sharper. Supplier behaviour patterns, market pricing signals, and realised TCO feed back into future procurement cycles.
Post-COD · Continuous · Market-derivedThe Procurement Structure
10+ suppliers to signed contract in 3–6 weeks.
Three structured rounds, each with a defined objective. Suppliers are matched to your RFQ from Storinum's validated network — pre-qualified against your asset type, capacity range, and market — so the field starts from a higher baseline and responds faster.
Round 1 · 1–2 weeks
Structured market entry
- Matched suppliers respond to a structured RFQ generated from the Scenario Planner position
- All four dimensions scored; flag register produced; elimination list identified with basis
- System-generated feedback sent to each supplier — specific, dimension-level
Round 2 · 1–2 weeks
Competition tightens
- Weakest offers dropped; shortlisted suppliers receive targeted revision requests per dimension
- Price compresses; technical and warranty gaps either close or are quantified as risk premium
- Negotiation briefing generated per supplier ahead of Round 3
Round 3 · 1–2 weeks
Final negotiation
- Remaining differences known, quantified, ranked by financial impact
- Pre-signing conditions list: every open flag resolved before contract execution
- IC-ready recommendation exported; record passes to Resolve for post-COD monitoring
Vendor matching from Storinum's network
Suppliers are matched to your RFQ before Round 1 — pre-qualified against your asset type, system size, delivery market, and technical requirements. Only suppliers with demonstrated capacity to comply are invited. The field starts from a higher baseline and the process moves faster.
The Full Product
Procurement is Module II.
The technical posture and CAPEX benchmarks carry forward from Scenario Planner. The procurement record passes to Resolve for post-COD monitoring.
Module I · Before procurement
Scenario Planner
Defines technical posture, CAPEX benchmarks, and risk position before any supplier sees the RFQ. Scoring criteria are set against your asset's requirements — not what suppliers chose to offer.
Go to Scenario Planner →Module II · Active
Procurement
You are hereSupplier matching, structured RFQ, four-dimension evaluation, TCO modelling, negotiation engines, and IC-ready recommendation — across three rounds, in 3–6 weeks.
Module III · After you sign
Storinum Resolve
For assets already operating. Reads signed contracts against what is actually happening — which warranties are enforceable, which obligations have no owner, which claim windows are closing.
