One product, 5 industry packs

Most of procurement is the same everywhere. The rest is not.

Atlas runs procurement for any organisation that buys — a university, a clinic, a consultancy, a council. Sourcing, approvals, orders, receipts, matching and payment work the same way whatever you are buying. What five industries additionally get is a pack: the handful of things that industry cannot buy without, inside the screens you already use. Every pack is included, and more than one can be switched on — a food manufacturer is FMCG and manufacturing.

Any sector, packs or not 5 industry packs on top Included — never a paid extra A set — as many as you are

And everyone else — which is most of our customers

A pack is an addition, not an entry requirement. An education group, a professional services firm, a clinic, a utility, a charity, a council: switch no pack on at all and Atlas behaves exactly as it always has — the whole source-to-pay cycle, supplier management, the rules engine, the audit trail, eleven finance connectors and six regional editions. Nothing is withheld and nothing is missing; there is simply no industry pack for your sector yet, and we would rather say that than let a list of five read as a list of who we serve.

No pack, whole system: Education · Professional services · Healthcare · Utilities · Public bodies · Non-profits · Transport · Hospitality · Property · Financial services · Agriculture · Mining

How a pack behaves

Five rules every one of them obeys.

They are why switching a pack on is a safe act rather than a project, and they are the same five whichever industry you are in.

The rule
What it means for you
It ships empty and refuses
Nothing is assumed on your behalf. Until somebody records a shelf-life policy, a sanctioned amount or a store, the screen asks for it — it does not invent a value that looks conventional. A control you believe is running when it is not is worse than one you know is missing.
It lives inside the screens you already use
Capital cost objects appear beside the cost-centre budgets; shelf life, units, non-conformance, variants and transfers appear on the stock item. No pack adds a section to the navigation — a menu named after your industry is a demo feature.
It only ever adds
Switching one on changes nothing about how you already buy. Every requisition, order, match and payment behaves exactly as it did — which is what makes turning one on reversible.
It is configuration, never a licence
Atlas is sold whole. There is no per-module price, no seat tier and nothing to unlock, so a pack is switched on because that is your shape — not because an invoice decided what the product contains.
No region's practice ships as universal
The mechanism is usually common across the six regions Atlas serves; the vocabulary, the statutory trigger and the customs treatment usually are not. Where we have established your region's term you get it, and where we have not you get a neutral one and a sentence saying so — never somebody else's word wearing your flag.

Healthcare is the example of how we treat a gap: it is named inside the product as an industry we have not built a pack for, rather than quietly left off a list, because the duties around device registries and controlled substances are real and we have not researched them. A hospital still runs its whole procurement on Atlas today. Tell us your industry and we will tell you honestly what you would get, and what you would not.

Tell us what you make, move or sell and you will see your own screens — your vocabulary, your region, your units — rather than a generic sandbox.
