Adjust to your business. Based on typical 3–5% savings across PINPOOLS customers — actual results vary by category and starting maturity.
Estimates are directional. Actual savings depend on category mix, current sourcing maturity, and market conditions. A PINPOOLS specialist can model your specific scenario in a 30-min working session.

Common questions from procurement teams.
Straight answers to what enterprise buyers ask most before signing.
How long does implementation take?
First tender can go live within days of onboarding. Full ERP integration typically completes in days, not weeks — SAP S/4HANA and ECC connect natively via BAPI, SAP BTP, or REST API; custom ERPs via REST API.
How does PINPOOLS compare to Coupa, Ariba, or Jaggaer?
Those are general-purpose S2P platforms. PINPOOLS is built for chemical procurement specifically: benchmarks based on real transactions through the platform, AI-based specification matching, and a network of 10,000+ suppliers, 126,000+ products across 86 countries.
What does the AI actually do?
PINPOOLS AI handles most of the repetitive work across sourcing and market intelligence — from matching specifications and structuring inbound quotes to guiding complex RFQs and modelling market prices. New capabilities are added continuously as the platform learns from more transactions.
Do you integrate with our existing ERP?
Native integration with SAP S/4HANA and ECC via BAPI, SAP BTP, or custom REST API. Custom ERPs via REST API. Inbound/outbound sync of outline agreements, info records, material master, vendor data, and POs.
What's the pricing model?
Annual subscription scoped to your use case — categories, spend under management, integration depth. No per-user fees. Contact sales for a quote.
Can we run PINPOOLS alongside our existing tools?
Yes. PINPOOLS syncs directly with your ERP and existing procurement tools, so you can run it alongside what you already use without disrupting current workflows.
