ProcurePulse vs Aerchain
Aerchain runs source-to-pay for mid-market enterprises. ProcurePulse covers the same upstream procurement, then keeps going — through asset registration, depreciation, audit, and disposal. One platform from PR to retirement, not just to invoice.
Source-to-Pay for Mid-Market
Bengaluru-based source-to-pay platform (founded 2020, Bessemer-backed). Covers sourcing, contracts, procurement, and AP automation. Strong UX, modern stack. Pipeline ends at invoice payment.
Source-to-Retire — One Platform, PR to Disposal
Same source-to-pay capabilities Aerchain offers — plus the entire post-payment asset lifecycle. For any business with physical assets, that's where the regulatory and financial work begins.
Where Aerchain stops, the asset lifecycle starts
For services-only businesses, source-to-pay is the whole story. For manufacturers, BFSI ATMs, pharma cold-chain, hospitals, and broadcasters, paying the invoice is just the start of a 5-15 year compliance journey.
From PR to FAR in one workflow
When goods are received via GRN, ProcurePulse automatically creates the asset record, attaches it to the originating PO, and starts depreciation from day one. Aerchain's pipeline closes the PR-PO-Invoice loop and stops. Your finance team rekeys assets into a separate FAR spreadsheet.
VTR — Audit auditors actually accept
Verify, Tag & Reconcile is our proprietary mobile-led audit methodology. Walk the floor, scan tags, reconcile against the register, and generate the CARO 2020 / IND AS 16 evidence pack. Aerchain has no audit module of any kind.
Disposal compliance is regulated
India's CPCB rules require chain-of-custody to a registered recycler for e-waste, scrap metal, and chemicals. ProcurePulse runs reverse auctions for retiring assets and tracks recycler manifests for audit. Aerchain's pipeline doesn't acknowledge this stage exists.
One vendor, one contract, one bill
Pairing Aerchain with a separate fixed-asset / EAM product means two vendors, two integrations, two SLAs. ProcurePulse is a single platform, single contract, single source of truth from PR to disposal.

Pick the right one for your business
Pick Aerchain if
- → Your business is services-only with no physical inventory
- → You already have a separate fixed-asset / EAM product and don't want to consolidate
- → Your priority is modern UX for source-to-pay only, not the broader lifecycle
- → You're comfortable with an early-stage startup vendor
Pick ProcurePulse if
- ✓ You're a manufacturer, BFSI, pharma, hospital, or broadcaster with physical assets
- ✓ Your auditors ask for CARO 2020, IND AS 16, or Schedule II evidence
- ✓ You want one platform from PR to disposal — not two
- ✓ You need GST/ITC + GSTR2A reconciliation built in
- ✓ You want VTR-style physical asset audit on mobile
