Classify procurement spend
Classify procurement spend with Aurum: a practical, on-prem approach built for Azerbaijani teams.
Accurate Spend Classification Under Your Total Control
Procurement teams in Azerbaijan frequently struggle with fragmented supplier records arriving from disparate sources, leading to a buildup of duplicates and inconsistent spend categories that undermine reporting reliability. Aurum solves these challenges by implementing a deterministic matching engine that identifies and merges duplicate records into a single, authoritative golden master. By consolidating this data, organizations can eliminate the noise that typically distorts spend analysis and establish a clean foundation for financial oversight. Beyond deduplication, Aurum systematically classifies every line item into the globally recognized UNSPSC taxonomy, ensuring a standardized approach to spend categorization. Crucially, the system is designed with a human-in-the-loop philosophy: no AI-generated proposal is ever published without explicit human approval. With a comprehensive audit trail and source lineage for every record, your team maintains absolute visibility and control from the initial raw data ingestion to the final published classification.

Complete Accountability: Leverage a full audit trail and source lineage per record to track exactly where data originated and who approved the classification.
Secure Infrastructure: Deploy on-premises to ensure sensitive procurement and supplier data remains strictly within your own controlled environment.
Core Capabilities of Aurum Spend Classification
Golden Master Record Creation
Aurum's deterministic matching engine identifies and merges duplicate supplier and spend records into a single golden master, eliminating the noise that distorts spend analysis.
UNSPSC Taxonomy Mapping
Each record is classified against the UNSPSC taxonomy, giving your procurement team a consistent, internationally recognised coding structure for all spend categories.
Human-in-the-Loop Governance
Every classification proposal generated by the system is held for review. A human steward approves, adjusts, or rejects it before anything is published — keeping your team in control.
Reversible Override System
Edits are stored as overrides rather than written back into source data. If a decision needs to be revisited, the original record is intact and the correction history is preserved.
Full Source Lineage & Audit
Every record carries a full audit trail showing its origin, any transformations applied, and who approved the final classification — supporting compliance and internal review.
The Path from Raw Data to Auditable Records
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Aurum modify or overwrite my original source data?
No. Aurum is reversible by design. All edits and classifications are stored as overrides on top of the original records and are never applied in-place. Your source data remains unchanged and fully intact at all times.
What happens if the system suggests an incorrect classification?
Because no AI proposal is published without human approval, incorrect suggestions are simply rejected or corrected by the steward before they ever reach your dataset. All override history is retained for future reference.
Which classification standard does Aurum utilize?
Aurum uses the UNSPSC (United Nations Standard Products and Services Code) taxonomy, which is a widely adopted international standard for categorizing products and services in procurement.
How does the system handle data coming from multiple different sources?
The deterministic matching engine compares records across all ingested sources to identify duplicates, which are then merged into one golden master record. Full source lineage is preserved, allowing you to trace any record back to its original system.
Can Aurum be deployed within our own data center?
Yes. Aurum is specifically built for on-premises deployment, ensuring that your sensitive procurement and supplier data stays within your own infrastructure throughout the entire classification process.
