We know how you work.
Annual supplier agreements, rebate tiers, year-end bonuses: we have already modelled and coded them. You will not have to explain what a year-end rebate is.
Buying groups & co-operatives
The management application your buying group has been waiting years for.
Supplier approval, revenue declarations, rebate and year-end bonus calculations, document management, member portal: we have already built all of it for a 60-company buying group. We can build it for yours — fitted to your rules, not the other way round.

Scoping + prototype in 3 weeks, deducted from the project.
Sound familiar?
Three situations we meet in almost every buying group
- Your revenue declarations and rebate calculations live in spreadsheets only two people know how to use.
- Your management tool is from another era and its vendor no longer answers (or no longer exists).
- Your members are asking for a modern portal, your permanent staff is already stretched — and you have no IT department to steer a large software programme.
Why us
Why a buying group picks us
No IT department required.
We handle scoping, development, the acceptance environment, go-live and maintenance. Your contact is a project manager, not a ticket.
You stay the owner.
Source code handed over, documentation delivered, contractual reversibility. If we disappeared tomorrow, your tool keeps running.
What we have already built
A Lyon-based buying group of more than 60 member companies
Full rebuild of the management system of a 60-company buying group
This Lyon-based buying group brings together more than 60 member companies and around fifty approved suppliers in refrigeration, air conditioning and professional kitchen equipment. Its website and management application ran on a monolithic proprietary framework that had become a brake: membership applications, annual supplier agreements, revenue declarations, year-end rebate calculations, document management — all of it had to be rethought.
