Imagine a day in the life of Sophie, a Head of Procurement in a fast-growing industry. Her days are a relentless dance between Excel spreadsheets, paper supplier catalogs, email chains for quote requests, and phone calls to track orders. Information is fragmented, processes are slow, and the risk of error is constant. Sophie knows she needs to digitize, to modernize. But where to start? What is the right solution? How much will it cost? Who can truly understand the complexities of her business to offer a tool that is both useful and effective?
Does this scenario sound familiar? You’re not alone. Many companies, whether they are procurement departments, purchasing groups, or industrial corporations, face this same complexity. The solution isn’t found in a rigid, off-the-shelf software, but in a custom digital approach, designed for and with you.
1. What is a Custom B2B Digital Solution?
A custom B2B digital solution is an online platform specifically designed to meet the unique business processes of a company or network. Unlike standard software, it doesn’t impose a rigid framework. It adapts to your approval workflows, your pricing policies, your existing information systems (ERP, CRM, PIM), and your supplier relationships to make them more efficient. It is a reflection of your organization, optimized.
2. Your Challenges (Pains) and Our Solutions (Gains)
We’ve spoken with dozens of industry leaders, procurement directors, and network managers. Here are the most common challenges they face, and how our custom B2B digital solution concretely addresses them.
| Your Challenges (Pains) | Our Custom Digital Solution (Gains) |
|---|---|
| Manual indirect procurement processes, leading to hidden costs and wasted time for your teams. | Automation of workflows (quote requests, approval circuits, purchase orders) for a significant reduction in processing costs. |
| Lack of comprehensive spend visibility and difficulty in fostering competition among suppliers. | Centralized data on a single platform and transparent competitive bidding for a reduction in direct procurement costs. |
| Slow, tedious, and resource-intensive integration of supplier catalogs. | A self-service supplier portal allowing each partner to integrate and manage their catalog via API, data feeds, or CMS, for unmatched agility and a richer offering. |
| A rigid and fragmented user experience across multiple tools, frustrating your employees or members. | A single multi-vendor shopping cart and an intuitive e-commerce-like interface, ensuring a seamless purchasing experience and maximum user adoption. |
| Raw materials or unsold goods treated as waste, generating storage and disposal costs. | An internal upcycling marketplace to turn surplus materials (e.g., wood offcuts, vegan leather) into products. An additional revenue stream and a response to Anti-Waste and Circular Economy laws (like the French AGEC Act). |
Of course, every business is unique, and not all situations can be summarized here. If you’re wondering whether our solution can meet your specific needs, don’t hesitate to schedule a no-obligation phone call. In just a few minutes, you’ll know if our approach can be adapted to your context.
Why is a Custom B2B Digital Solution essential?
The table above shows it clearly: your challenges are specific. The B2B world is one of complexity and relationships. Trying to force a rigid tool onto it means ignoring what makes you strong. A custom B2B digital solution isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for any organization aiming for operational excellence. It adapts to your processes, not the other way around. This is our conviction at Origami Marketplace: the tool must serve the business with formidable efficiency. It’s what we do today for many companies.
3. Concrete Applications of Our Custom Solution
Our expertise allows us to build the platform that will transform your processes. Here’s how our custom B2B digital solution can be applied to your business areas:
💶 Digitize and Optimize Your Procurement Processes (E-procurement)
For a procurement department, the goal is twofold: reduce costs and control risks. Our custom e-procurement solution centralizes the entire “Procure-to-Pay” (P2P) cycle. By automating low-value tasks, your teams can focus on strategic sourcing and negotiation. You gain a consolidated view of your spending and improve collaboration between departments and suppliers, all on a single interface.
📦 Power Your Purchasing Group or GPO
Your role is to provide the best terms for your members. Our solution enables you to create a powerful and user-friendly multi-vendor platform. Each member benefits from personalized catalogs and price lists, while being able to order from multiple suppliers through a single, unified cart. Thanks to API synchronization with your existing tools, you can manage your network’s performance with reliable, real-time data.
♻️ Create Value from Your Resources with the Circular Economy
In response to regulatory requirements like the French AGEC Act, our solution helps you create an internal marketplace. The goal: to map your unused resources (raw materials, production scraps, equipment) and make them available to other workshops or subsidiaries. You optimize your logistics, reduce waste, and can even create new revenue streams by selling these upcycled materials, turning an environmental constraint into an economic opportunity.
Every company operates differently, and that's perfectly normal. If you're wondering if our solution can apply to your challenges, the easiest way is to discuss it. You explain your problems and your goals, and I'll tell you with full transparency if and how we can help, whether it's to simplify your processes or create a new revenue stream. No commitment, just a conversation to see things more clearly.
