Procureease: A Digital Procurement and Monitoring System for St.Clare College of Caloocan

Most people have already experienced delays and confusion in the procurement process, especially when it is done manually. According to Komakech (2015), the continuous development of technology has a significant influence on the education sector, particularly in improving processes and the overall experience within educational institutions. However, many local procurement systems still rely on traditional methods, such as manual processing of requests and verbal communication with administrators. According to Maturi (2013), this manual process often results in delays and misunderstandings, which can affect the quality of service and the satisfaction of requesters.
Established in 1986, St. Clare College of Caloocan is part of the St. Clare Group of Schools. It started as a small institution focused only on basic education, but later expanded its programs to include senior high school and various college courses. Its main goal is to provide quality and affordable education to students from Caloocan and nearby areas (St. Clare College, n.d.). Along with the institution’s growth, the need for proper management of school equipment, facilities, and other properties also expanded. Because of this, a custodian property management system was gradually developed, aiming to monitor, record, and safeguard school equipment. In its early stages, this was carried out through manual recording and coordination between teachers and administration.
