The challenge PINPOOLS solves

Why does direct spend still run on Excel?

Direct spend covers the highest-impact categories — raw materials, key ingredients, strategic components. Manual sourcing means slow cycles, weak benchmarking, and fragmented ERP data.

How it works

From mass RFQ to SAP — one automated pipeline.

Three moves close the loop end-to-end. Two capabilities keep it running.

01
Sourcing event

Mass RFQs for direct materials

1,000+ items in a single event with structured bid sheets across global suppliers.

02
Award decision

Scenario-based awarding

Evaluate combined award decisions across suppliers and regions in 2–3 days.

03
Recurring updates

Series + ERP sync

Outline agreements, info records, POs push into SAP — 80% flow automatically.

Benchmarking on every item throughout
Market context on each line item — no more blind awarding on strategic categories.
Exception-based control throughout
Updates flow automatically. Only threshold breaches reach buyers.
The result
Complex direct spend, end-to-end digital — buyers step in only for the exceptions.
Customer story

A global manufacturer digitized its direct spend end-to-end.

The team was drowning in scattered Excel files and manual awarding across regions. With PINPOOLS they run mass tenders of 1,000+ items, award by scenario in 2–3 days, and convert results into automated series requests. API integration pushes prices into SAP — buyers step in only when a threshold is breached.

"What used to take weeks of admin now closes in a couple of days — and price updates just happen."
