According to the World Bank, public sector procurement forms an average of 13% to 20% of the national GDP in different countries of the world. With this, investigation reveals that the financial losses from corruption may reach 10% to 25% of the total amount of public contracts. Improvement of public procurement management is decisive for sustainable economic growth and global welfare promotion.

This is why we developed Red Flags Management, an analytic system, which automatically finds risky tenders and contracts and attracts auditors' attention to the objects put under the highest risk of wastage.

«Our system naturally includes human and automated data processing: it identifies the risks (so called red flags) to attract auditors' attention, but avoids hitting them with labels, because often the deficiencies arise from a human factor: a mistake, carelessness or simply idleness, rather than malicious intent»
