The problem we solve

When procurement is poorly documented, the problem comes later

In many productions, procurement decisions are scattered across emails, calls and loose files. When a tax review, audit or investor due diligence arrives, reconstructing that history takes weeks — and in many cases is simply not possible.

Tax incentives

When a tax incentive is involved, it pays for the production to be able to explain how each service was procured. Without organised documentation, that explanation comes late, or never comes.

Investors and financiers

Financial due diligence requires demonstrating that the technical production budget is competitive and contracted at market rates. A traceable, exportable history accelerates any review process.

External audits

Audit firms need objective, independent evidence to issue agreed-upon procedures reports. The Procurement File that Visualnet electronically signs provides that substrate automatically, in real time, during the process.

For every stakeholder

How it works

From requirement to awarded supplier

With full traceability and a defensible market benchmark at every step.

01

Define the service and launch the request for proposals

Describe the service you need to procure. The integrated AI assistant refines the technical description to maximise response quality.

AI assistant · Automatic notification
02

Receive proposals and compare the real market

Suppliers submit their bids in a confidential environment — no competitor can see another's proposal. Visualnet generates the market benchmark in real time: minimum, below average, average, above average and maximum.

03

Award and preserve the evidence

When the request closes, the award is recorded in the chained log and the request becomes part of the project's Procurement File. The File is generated, signed, when the production company or an auditor requests it, and can be downloaded as a PDF for tax incentive reviews, investors or audit firms.

Especially useful for

Projects with tax incentives, investment or third-party oversight

When a production needs to justify its procurement decisions to tax authorities, investors or an incentives body, having organised benchmarks and a traceable history makes all the difference.

Production tax incentives

Visualnet's history documents how each service on the project was procured, and the Procurement File gathers the closed requests for proposals, signed and with a qualified time stamp. The production can submit it in the review of its tax incentive.

Investors and financing entities

Financial review of a production requires demonstrating that the technical budget is competitive and contracted at market rates. Visualnet's exportable history facilitates any due diligence, international co-production or financing process.

Audit firms

The Procurement File, electronically signed and carrying an eIDAS qualified time stamp, is the basis on which a ROAC-registered audit firm may issue, where applicable, a NISR 4400 agreed-upon procedures report.

Compliance and security

Ready for any independent review

The procurement process is recorded in a chained audit trail. Any alteration of the content of a recorded event, or the deletion of any event, is detectable; and the platform operates with a database user that has no permission to modify or delete the record, with triggers active in the database.

eIDAS · Qualified time stamp

Procurement File per project

Each project in pre-production has its Procurement File, which gathers its closed requests for proposals and is generated when the production company or an auditor requests it. It is signed with an advanced electronic signature based on a qualified certificate and carries an eIDAS qualified time stamp, which enjoys a presumption of the accuracy of its date and the integrity of its content (Art. 41.2). On that basis, a ROAC-registered auditor may issue, where applicable, their NISR 4400 report.

GDPR · FNMT-RCM

Data and electronic signature

Production data is processed in accordance with the GDPR and stored in the EU. The AI assistant is provided through an external provider, as set out in the Privacy Policy. The Procurement File is signed with an advanced electronic signature based on a qualified FNMT-RCM certificate, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 910/2014.

SHA-256

Chained and verifiable audit trail

Each event carries a SHA-256 hash chained to the previous one and a sequential number. With them it can be checked whether the content of an event has been altered or any event has been deleted. In addition, the platform operates with a database user that has no permission to modify or delete the record, and the database has active triggers that reject such changes.
