Let potential suppliers know about upcoming tenders – easily and automatically
When I look at the range of digital procurement tools available, I can’t help but wonder who actually uses them – and for what purpose.
When I look at the range of digital procurement tools available, I often ask myself who actually uses all of them – and for what purpose. Personally, I’m a strong believer in the approach “master the basics first, then move on to the fancy features.”
The Promitea purchasing system is a comprehensive platform with a wide range of capabilities, and every company should carefully consider which functions bring them the greatest value.
For example, just last week during a workshop, I demonstrated the benefits of modern procurement marketing, where publishing both past and upcoming tenders is a fantastic way to inform and engage current as well as potential suppliers. If you’d like to see how simple and effective it is, take a look at these links:

A potential supplier can register in the procurement software in just a few steps, and the buyer then decides whether to invite them to the tender, require a detailed qualification process (again within the procurement software), or reject the supplier.
And of course, there are also strategic tenders that you want to keep under wraps. These naturally don’t appear in the public list – only selected suppliers receive an invitation to participate.
I’ll end my post with this appeal: “Buyers and business owners, don’t go overboard! Most companies are still at the level of emails, phone calls, and Excel when it comes to digital procurement. Make your work more efficient, increase savings, and focus on doing the key things better using proven tools – and only then start adopting the latest ‘procurement trends.’”

One of the biggest concerns when implementing a new procurement system is: “Everything looks great, but how are we going to implement Promitea in our company? Our buyers don’t know how to do it, our IT team is already overloaded, and we won’t get any additional budget.”
Let’s be honest with each other and stop making promises we can’t keep. No procurement software, by itself, will magically lower prices, improve quality, or secure better delivery terms.
It’s important to acknowledge honestly that mistakes can happen to anyone — an experienced buyer, a new colleague, a manager, or a supplier.
How many organizations still consider price the biggest risk in procurement — while far more costly issues slip through right under their noses?
