Procurean Network (PAN)

What is Procurean Network

The Procurean network collects and stores data on all items generated from buyers and sellers to build a network item catalog, based on GS1 standards.

This directory of items is used by every participant on the network to identify products by item trade number, and to streamline indent purchases to a machine-readable format which anyone can understand.

The Procurean network is always accessed through the provided API.

Any distributed application or existing ERP or SCM system can use the API to provide streamlined purchasing processes.

The Procurean ecosystem consists of three main components:

• Procurean network—provides implementation for all smart instruments and tools. Built using Procurean nodes which act as a self-organizing system to provide the functionalities, the decentralized network uses the public blockchain to ensure data immutability.
• Procurean API—provides the entry point to the services offered by the Procurean network. It defines the rules and protocols for the external system to enable it to integrate with the network. In order to speed up the integration, the default implementation will be provided in the shape of a Procurean adapter.
• Procurean dApps—a set of multi-channel applications providing functionalities of the Procurean network to users who do not integrate their systems via the Procurean API or in situations where existing systems lack certain functionally used/needed by the purchasing processes.
