Better chemical
procurement
with data
We Provide Data
Increase your expertise
Keep your knowledge within your company. In the past, you have conducted tenders and the responsible buyer left your company and the knowledge of which supplier was invited, approved, or commissioned, the market or technical knowledge also left your company?
You never have to experience this disadvantage again. With PINPOOLS you can achieve the opposite. Our vision is to work on your upside. What does this mean for us? You can share your knowledge and experience within your company, making chemical sourcing smarter. Your expertise stays within your company and you can build new knowledge on existing expertise. Your procurement organization gathers more data and is empowered to make better decisions. You become a data-driven company and have a competitive advantage over your competitors.
We strongly believe that the data we provide in addition to your procurement process will become the milestone for modern procurement organizations, and the organizations that do not go this way will disappear sooner or later.
Medium And Long Term
What’s in it for me? Contract requests
Are you looking for inquiries from serious, reputable companies with big baskets and have always wondered how to get into this business? It’s never been easier. Keep your portfolio up to date and enrich your products with as much information as possible to put your company on the potential radar of the larger buying organizations.
The buyer has the final decision on who to invite to their RFQ. Through PINPOOLS, you can get an overview of what you have to offer. Sometimes it starts with a few products you have listed in your portfolio, and the buyer requests a quote from you, and you continually expand your product offering and your chance of winning the bid.
The chance of winning relevant new business has never been easier - and if you’re not listed with PINPOOLS, the chance of missing out on requests from the world’s leading chemical sourcing organizations has never been greater.
Short Term
What’s in it for me? Spot requests
We at PINPOOLS started 6 years ago mainly with spot requests. We had buyers submitting their requests via fax, email or phone. And the motivators for the buyer to use this functionality are many.
Depending on the buyer’s strategy, not all volumes are contracted. There can be many other reasons, such as shortages, force majeure, or securing the supply chain.
Demand is driven by customer projects or based on the seasonality of a product. It is always a good entry point to learn more about the company and the purchasing portfolio.
