Quality and convenience is what Procuron offers, every single day. Find out the latest news about our offerings and changes we're making to serve you better.

Coming Soon...

Procuron is working hard to provide a one-stop source for your overnight courier needs. So we've teamed up with Purolator to offer you the best value in domestic, trans-border and international overnight courier services. You'll benefit from Purolator's single-source invoicing, account management, and customer service, plus their fully integrated track and trace worldwide. All with the highly competitive pricing and high service levels Procuron delivers every day.

So what could be better than saving money? Saving time, as well. With the efficiently designed "123 Purolator Ship-it screens" you can process a shipment with the fewest number of clicks possible in the courier industry. And only Procuron's version of Purolator offers you online, real-time reporting capabilities, and workflow management, at both the user and the administrator levels, to help you keep track of your purchases - and your budget - more easily.

Recent Changes...

We've made a number of improvements to the Marketplace, to help get you in and out quickly so you can get back to business. You'll see some of them in the selection, payment and shipping areas of the Procuron marketplace:

  • New wildcard function broadens search results by using "-" and "+" designators to make search terms optional/mandatory. The default search has been changed to AND (was OR), meaning search results will contain ALL words entered in search string (e.g. "Red Pen" will not return Red Binders or Black Pens).

  • Role-based workflow approval allows multiple users to be listed under one role, while approval is needed from only one user. This allows orders to be processed more efficiently by eliminating the need for separate approvals.

  • Individuals can now create user-specific lists by clicking the "Add to Favourites" button beside each item in the catalogue. This will create a "My Favourites" category that reflects the purchasing needs of a specific user.

  • The "Company Favourites" category still remains in the "Favourites" section, comprised of a list of the products and services your business uses most.

These are just some of the improvements we've made. We'll let you know as more come online.
