Small businesses are stronger together.
A single business may have limited influence when negotiating with a supplier. But thousands of businesses need many of the same goods and services. Their combined demand is substantial, even when their individual contracts are small.
We bring that demand together. Collective purchasing gives businesses a stronger position to negotiate prices, service and contract terms, while each business remains independent.
Everyday business costs. A substantial opportunity.
Our focus is non-product-related spend: the goods and services that keep a business running, rather than the products it sells. Think energy, software, telecom, cleaning, office supplies, insurance and professional services.
These costs can represent around 20% of a business’s total expenses, depending on its sector and cost structure. They are often spread across suppliers, departments and recurring contracts, making it difficult to see the full picture.
Improving this spending is a direct lever for higher profits. When revenue and other costs stay the same, lower supplier costs increase operating profit. Businesses can improve their margins without having to sell more.
AI changes what is possible.
Collective buying power has always mattered. What changes now is our ability to understand and manage the spending behind it. Reading contracts, reviewing invoices and comparing suppliers manually takes time that smaller businesses often cannot spare.
Our AI-native platform helps structure this information and connect it across spending, contracts, invoices and suppliers. It can highlight recurring costs, fragmented demand, differences between agreed and invoiced rates, and upcoming renewal dates.
This makes it easier to identify where businesses buy the same things, where demand can be combined and where agreements deserve another look. A task that is difficult to organize business by business becomes manageable across a group.
Better intelligence. Experienced people.
A signal is the starting point. Our purchasing experts assess the opportunity, compare supplier offers and negotiate the agreement. They bring market knowledge, commercial judgment and an understanding of what businesses need.
AI helps our team find and organize the information. People turn it into decisions about price, service, flexibility and supplier relationships. Together, technology and expertise make purchasing support more practical and accessible.
Group strength. Local service.
We deliver this model through our own local purchasing brands, starting with Inkoop Service Nederland in the Netherlands. Each brand works close to the businesses it serves, in its local language and market.
As we expand into more countries, our shared platform, purchasing expertise and supplier relationships will support each new brand. We also welcome partners in our active and new markets who bring complementary expertise or business networks.
Professional purchasing. Independent businesses.
Businesses gain access to collective agreements and professional support without having to build their own purchasing department or technology platform. They retain the choice of which opportunities fit their business.
That is the organization we are building: small businesses buying with the strength of a group, supported by intelligent technology and people who know purchasing.
