Trusted By Teams That Hate Headaches
A Modern-Day “Canary in the Coal Mine”
At the dawn of the 20th century, miners carried canaries into coal mines to warn them of invisible toxic gases. Today, procurement teams face a similar danger – poor performance they can’t see. Until it’s too late.
By collecting feedback from the people closest to the work,Canary makes those issues visible to procurement.Challenges are surfaced early and resolved faster.
Simple to launch. Easy to use. Instantly helpful. That’s Canary.
How Canary Works
IT ALL STARTS HERE
Gather Feedback
You can’t manage vendors without a critical mass of reviews. But end users are incredibly busy and not looking for another to-do. Through seven years of constant iteration, Procurated has cracked the code to getting reviews, with more than 100,000 to date. Inspired by familiar experiences like Yelp, we make reviewing quick and painless, getting you the performance data you need, from the people closest to the work.
Digital Review Collection Engine
Perfected over seven years, Canary’s automated review collection surveys end users to quickly capture feedback. No training. No friction. Just honest insights from the people who work with your suppliers every day. This engine is the foundation that powers everything Canary does.
Canary Caller
Some end users don’t respond to email — and that shouldn’t limit your insight. When needed, we pick up the phone and collect feedback directly, ensuring no voice goes unheard. This personal outreach is proven to increase response rates.
Contact Information Augmentation
Missing or outdated contact information shouldn’t hold you back. Canary uses AI to verify third-party data and fill gaps like updated email addresses or phone numbers, so you can reach more reviewers. More accurate contacts lead to more complete insights.
Custom Questions
Different contracts require different information. Canary lets you tailor review questions to capture exactly what your team needs, contract by contract. It’s an easy way to turn generic feedback into targeted, actionable intelligence by category.
FEEDBACK ENABLES
AI Powered Insights
Once feedback starts flowing, Canary’s AI turns it into real-time intelligence you can actually use. No need to guess about which suppliers are struggling or what their challenges may be. Intuitive dashboards give you (and your suppliers) a clear roadmap on what needs fixing and where the hotspots are. We arm you with the data you
need to take the right actions.
AI Review Summaries
Canary’s AI reads every review for a supplier and distills them into a clear, digestible summary. Instantly see strengths and recurring areas for improvement across reviews — saving time and surfacing what matters most. It’s like having an analyst on call, without adding headcount.
Performance by Organization
Supplier performance often varies by department. Canary shows how each agency, division, or location rates a vendor, so you can pinpoint where service is strong and where it’s slipping. Suppliers get a clear roadmap for where to focus improvement.
Performance Trends Over Time
Vendor performance isn’t static. Canary tracks changes month over month so you can spot meaningful trends early — whether a supplier is improving, declining, or holding steady — and understand what’s driving the change.
Supplier Performance Comparison
Compare suppliers side by side on the same contract with ease. View service quality and timeliness across vendors to support evaluations, guide business reviews, and inform tough renewal decisions.
Advanced Analytics
Slice, filter, and visualize supplier performance across agencies, contracts, and time periods. Reports are customizable and fast — powerful analytics built for procurement teams, not data scientists.
Agentic AI
Ask Canary questions in plain English — “Which vendors should I be most concerned about this month?” or “What SLAs should I add to my next RFP based on past performance?” — and get instant answers grounded in your data. No dashboards. No digging.
INSIGHT BECOMES ACTION
Improve Performance
Insights are useful only if they lead to meaningful action. Canary puts the right data in the hands of the right people at the right time. With that data, vendors can fix what needs fixing and buyers can make informed decisions. Performance consistently improves as a result.
Performance Risk Alerts
Canary alerts you the moment feedback signals a potential issue. No waiting until frustration escalates or contracts are at risk. Alerts go directly to the team member responsible, so problems get addressed early.
Supplier Enablement
Suppliers see their performance data in real time — just like you. They can identify issues, engage end users, and take corrective action before problems grow. This shifts day-to-day performance management off procurement’s shoulders while keeping you informed.
Communications Hub
All supplier conversations live in one shared space — questions, clarifications, follow-ups, and corrective actions. No buried emails. No missing context. End users, suppliers, and contract managers stay aligned and resolve issues faster.
Buyer Insights
When departments are choosing a supplier, Canary delivers relevant performance data at the moment of decision. Buyers can quickly see which vendors have delivered for their peers — and which haven’t.
The result: better decisions, fewer repeat failures, and stronger incentives for suppliers to perform.

Canary FAQs
We’ve spent our careers in public
procurement. We know you have
questions. We would too. Here are
the things your peers ask us the
most.
Is it hard to get started?
Nope. Implementing Canary is nothing like standing up a new ERP — it’s lightweight and straightforward. With a little data from your financial system and a short heads-up to your stakeholders, you can be live in four to six weeks. Our customer success team walks you through every step so nothing feels complicated or overwhelming. And we stay with you to help you whenever you need it.
Can it integrate with my existing systems?
For sure. Canary integrates smoothly with leading eProcurement and ERP platforms, and we already have connections built with several major systems. It typically requires only a small lift from your other technology partner. But even without an integration, Canary works beautifully as a standalone tool, giving contract managers all the insight they need in one place.
Will end users really take the time to write reviews?
They will and they do. Reviews take about two minutes, and the experience is as simple as leaving a hotel or restaurant review online. We also supplement digital outreach with phone calls through our Canary Caller team, ensuring you get broad participation, including from the busiest folks. We’ve collected over 100,000 verified public-sector reviews, so we know what it takes to get busy end users to share meaningful feedback.
What if my team doesn’t have the bandwidth to address performance issues when they arise?
That’s exactly the risk Canary is designed to reduce. Procurement teams are often stretched thin, which means small issues can go unnoticed until they become contract failures. Canary gives suppliers real-time visibility into their performance so they can identify and address problems early — before they escalate. Procurement stays informed and in control, without being pulled into every issue, reducing risk while keeping contracts on track.
Will vendors complain about being reviewed?
Actually, most vendors welcome it. They crave information. They want to retain and grow their contracts, and honest feedback helps them understand what customers need. Positioning Canary as a tool for improvement — not punishment — sets the right tone and builds trust from day one. When vendors see the goal is better service, not gotchas, they become enthusiastic partners.
What’s the difference between Procurated and Canary?
Many procurement teams are already familiar with Procurated Search, which we launched in 2019. It helps buyers evaluate prospective suppliers using reviews from public-sector organizations across the country, offering a broad, national perspective on vendor performance.
Canary is different. It focuses on the suppliers you already have under contract and collects feedback only from end users within your organization. That gives you deep, contract-specific insight into how vendors are performing for your agencies and teams — so you can actively manage risk and improve performance throughout the contract term.
Real Results From Real Agencies
Governments that use Canary see a
profound improvement in the performance of their vendors within
months. Across the board, agencies
report exponentially higher service levels from vendors on contract.
