Create your e-procurement platform (or digitize your central purchasing body) in marketplace mode.
The all-in-one multi-supplier platform to unite your members, increase your purchasing volumes, and generate new sources of revenue.
😒 Is your traditional central purchasing body reaching its limits?
Despite the acceleration of digital transformation in the purchasing sector, the digitization of central purchasing bodies remains partial. Many organizations have begun their transition using market software to meet specific needs, like digitized supplier relationship management. However, without complete coverage of the value chain, the benefits are limited. True transformation requires end-to-end digitization: complete SRM, offer structuring, price transparency, digitized quotes, and automation of business processes (approval of purchases, catalogs, suppliers, integrated and automated supplier payment, etc.). According to PwC, these levers can yield up to 67% efficiency gains in price management and generate up to 8% in revenue growth.

With our solution dedicated to central purchasing, you can achieve tangible gains like a 50% reduction in supplier search time, a better supply chain with simultaneous availability of multiple partners, and a rapid ROI through the optimization of direct and indirect costs.
Can a Source-to-Pay (S2P) solution work for a central purchasing body?
The answer is no, because a successful digitization must go beyond a simple procure-to-pay process. Unlike classic Source-to-Pay solutions, we offer a true e-commerce-inspired buyer front-office and cover the entire process through to supplier payment—whereas S2P solutions often stop at issuing payment orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our platform is designed for any organization that centralizes or wants to centralize purchasing for a network of members:
- Buying groups and cooperatives (artisans, retailers, farmers…).
- Franchise networks.
- Sports or professional federations.
- Large enterprises looking to optimize procurement for their multiple subsidiaries or sites.
It’s a fundamental difference. S2P software is an internal procurement tool designed for a single company’s purchasing department. It optimizes the process from sourcing to payment for that company’s own needs. It is not designed to manage a network of external, independent buyers (your members) purchasing from a catalog of third-party suppliers.
This is the classic “Build vs. Buy” dilemma. Building a robust marketplace solution internally requires a colossal investment (hundreds of thousands of euros), very long timelines (18-24 months minimum), and significant risks (technical, security). Furthermore, you have to budget for constant maintenance and evolution. By choosing Origami Marketplace, you get a proven, secure solution with hundreds of pre-built features and continuous updates, for a fraction of the cost and time-to-market. You focus on your business; we handle the technology.
Digitization addresses three major challenges that traditional processes can no longer handle:
- Efficiency: Automate manual tasks (orders, invoicing) to free up time and reduce errors.
- Member Experience: Offer a modern, simple purchasing experience, similar to B2C e-commerce sites, to maximize adoption and loyalty.
- Growth: Easily onboard new suppliers and members, and create new revenue streams to sustain your model.
No, we’ve made this process as simple as possible. Suppliers get a dedicated portal and can integrate their catalogs in several ways, depending on their technical maturity: via API, file import (CSV, XML), or native connectors with e-commerce platforms (Shopify, PrestaShop, etc.). Our team supports them during this step.
Yes, this is one of our key strengths. You can manage extremely granular pricing rules:
- Specific price lists per member or member group.
- Volume-based tiered pricing.
- Targeted promotional codes.
- Display of public prices alongside discounted “member” prices.

We operate on a SaaS (Software as a Service) model that includes:
- Initial setup fees for configuration, design, and launch support.
- A monthly subscription that covers the license, hosting, maintenance, and support.
- Optionally, a percentage can be taken on the transaction volume. We work with you to build the model that best fits your project.
A platform’s success lies in its adoption. We support you with:
- UX/UI design focused on end-user simplicity.
- Training workshops for your administrators and “pilot” members.
- A launch communication kit to promote the platform to your network.
