Aequita
Run procurement inside the law.
Public procurement execution engineered specifically for South African law. Aequita enforces PFMA, MFMA, and successor Public Procurement Act (PPA) requirements natively in code, with an append-only, hash-chained evidence spine built for AGSA audit consumption.
Core Differentiators
- Statute as Product: PPPFA scoring, thresholds, and deviation logic built natively — not custom configured per buyer.
- Dual-Regime Readiness: Runs current law and the incoming PPA concurrently via effective-dated configurations.
- Native Committee Workflows: First-class digital workflows for BSC, BEC, and BAC governance.
- Evidence Over Workflow: Delivers a defensible audit file rather than standard management dashboards.
Strategic Advantages
- Cost Efficiency: Priced 30–50% below international ERP suite equivalents.
- Accounting Officer Protection: Built to protect leadership against audit findings and statutory exposure.
- Zero Supplier Fees: Free for suppliers to bid — fully supporting local SMME participation policies.
- Cloud-Native & Secure: Delivered on AWS infrastructure with cryptographic integrity.
Complement, Don't Replace
Aequita sits directly in front of your core financial systems. Purchase orders, vendor master data, and payments remain in your existing ERP (such as SAP or Oracle) via secure API integrations. Nothing is ripped out.
