A⁠-⁠Line

One system for the whole IT delivery lifecycle — idea to live service, on a single thread.


The idea in one line

The golden thread

Every artefact hangs off one project. The same project tab travels with you across every screen, so nothing is re-keyed and everyone sees the same truth.

01
Demand
Idea captured & triaged.
02
Govern
Charter · GCR · SOR · PID.
03
Source
Tender, score, award.
04
Deliver
POs, forecast & actuals.
05
Transition
Into live service.

What's inside

Six connected areas

Lifecycle

Govern the work

Demand → Charter → GCR → SOR → PID, with an approvals queue and live RAG.

Sourcing

Take it to market

Tenders from an SOR, competitive bids, score cards and award.

Tracker

Follow the money

PO lines, period forecast & actuals, linked to SAP and Coupa.

Transition

Hand into service

Impact Assessment and the TIS readiness checklist.

Supplier Portal

Bring suppliers in

Ring-fenced area — each supplier sees only their own tenders.

Governance

Run it safely

Roles & capabilities, email controls, and a full audit trail.

Who it's for

One tool, many seats

The same data, framed for each role — a supplier never sees another supplier.

IT Director / PMO

Portfolio view, approvals, audit, settings.

Project Manager

Runs lifecycle, tracker & transition.

Supply Chain

Owns tenders — the only role that awards.

Solution Architect

Answers technical questions, approves designs.

Supplier PM

Submits SOWs & commitments for their bids.

Standard user

Raises demand, follows their request.

The moment that lands

Sourcing that switches seats

Buyer · Supply Chain

Issue & award

Create a tender from a published SOR, invite suppliers, score the bids and award — each supplier emailed only their own scores.

Supplier · PM

Bid & commit

See only your own tenders, submit a SOW with a mandatory value and balancing milestones, then commit to the work.

Delivery

Money you can follow

A live PO-line tracker linked straight to your finance systems — forecast, actuals and supplier commitments in one grid.

SAP + Coupa
Import & link purchase orders in place
AP forecast
Period-by-period vs actuals & baseline
Commitments
Suppliers commit; it flows back to the tracker

Trust, by design

Every change, on the record

A system-wide audit trail captures who changed what, on any screen. Email has a global kill-switch and a full send log. Access is capability-gated per role.

Audit trail
Every create, update & delete — automatically
Email control
Disable all mail; log every send
Role gating
People only see what they should
