01 / The control gap

Execution breaks between systems.

ERP records transactions. Project tools manage plans. Email and chat carry decisions. Obligence governs the operational chain between them — where ownership blurs and value leaks.

02 / Control model

One governed chain of accountability.

Every stage has entry criteria, required decisions, named ownership and a visible exit condition. Leadership sees the whole chain without managing every task.

  1. 01

    Opportunity & RFQ

    Qualify demand, evidence and bid intent.

  2. 02

    Commercial & Sourcing

    Govern cost, margin, approvals and revision.

  3. 03

    Award & Mobilisation

    Convert award into owned delivery commitments.

  4. 04

    Fulfilment & Delivery

    Monitor readiness, milestones and exceptions.

  5. 05

    Financial Close

    Secure evidence, invoice and financial closure.

Manage by intervention

Focus management attention where it changes the outcome.

Obligence ranks stalled decisions, late handoffs and delivery threats by value, urgency and customer impact.

  • Exception severity and value exposure
  • Named decision owner and due point
  • Complete commitment timeline
03 / Command views

One operating truth. Six accountable views.

Each function sees its own queue, commitments and decisions. Executives see the cross-functional contract picture — not six competing status reports.

04 / Industry fit

Designed for the cost of a missed commitment.

For businesses where approvals, materials, site readiness and delivery evidence must converge before value can be realised.

  • 01

    Oil & gas services

    Control technically qualified bids, vendor dependencies, mobilisation readiness and high-consequence delivery commitments.

    • Service and supply contracts
    • Shutdown and maintenance scopes
    • Equipment and materials packages
  • 02

    EPC & construction

    Connect commercial terms to procurement, site constraints, milestone evidence and financial close.

    • Project and subcontract packages
    • Variations and approvals
    • Milestone-led execution
  • 03

    Engineering & industrial supply

    Keep specifications, landed cost, fulfilment and customer obligations aligned across complex orders.

    • Engineered-to-order supply
    • Multi-vendor sourcing
    • Inspection and delivery evidence
Governed operations

05 / Implementation

Fits around the systems you already use.
