SIGNET orchestrates the stack you already have
SIGNET is an orchestration standard, not a platform to rip and replace. It sits above your existing procurement systems and connects them through open standards — so you gain rapid, compliant, standards-based orchestration regardless of which tools you run today. The systems named below are illustrative examples of the categories SIGNET orchestrates; they are not endorsed, required, or preferred. Any conformant tool in each category works.
| Function | Example systems | How SIGNET orchestrates |
|---|---|---|
| Sourcing | e.g. Pega, Coupa, Jaggaer | Unified orchestration across whichever sourcing platform you run |
| Contract lifecycle | e.g. Sirion, Icertis, DocuSign CLM | A single coordination layer across one or more CLM systems |
| Integrity & due diligence | e.g. Exiger, Dun & Bradstreet, EcoVadis | Risk and compliance signals integrated via standard connectors |
| Spend analytics | e.g. akirolabs, plus AI agents | Category intelligence with a governed agent overlay |
| ERP / P2P | e.g. SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics | Standards-based integration with your ERP of record |
| E-invoicing | Any PEPPOL Access Point | EN 16931 canonical format, multi-country compliance |
| Integration | Any iPaaS (e.g. Workato, MuleSoft) | Event-driven data pipelines and format translation |
| Identity | Your IdP + DIDs / Verifiable Credentials | Three-layer progressive identity — works with your existing SSO |
Named products are examples only, to illustrate each category. Concert does not endorse, certify, or require any particular vendor. SIGNET is vendor-, model-, and organisation-agnostic by design.
