apadua GmbH

Professional services procurement for many companies is characterized by the same three underlying problems:
1. Insufficient exploitation of potential competition due to insufficient market transparency
2. Lack of quality control during the project delivery due to the intangible nature of services per se
3. Little or no strategic procurement involvement due to its perceived obstructionist role within the organization

apadua offers a digital platform for the collaborative procurement of Professional Services. The three modules empower procurement to engage with its internal customers and services providers:
1. EXPLORE | Find the right service providers quickly
2. SOURCE | Tender projects collaboratively and compliantly
3. MONITOR | Continuously measure the quality and value contribution of external partners

Without implementation and training effort, companies use the apadua platform to strengthen their procurement capabilities.
