ABOUT Apadua empowers procurement teams. Leveraging great technology, Apadua enables procurement teams and their internal clients to identify the best professional services vendors quickly, source projects collaboratively, and continuously measure vendor performance. By using the Apadua Smart Procurement Suite, clients significantly reduce the time between demand emergence and contract award. Procurement improves the perceived quality of service internally, reduces maverick buying, and increases the value proposition of its work. Successful business relationships and projects are based on trust, openness and respect. A focus on price alone leads nowhere. Apadua connects clients and service providers to increase the long-term value of their business relationships for mutual benefit. Our business is technology, but our clients are people. While Apadua has been founded by two longstanding procurement and consulting professionals, its technology has been developed and is constantly being enhanced in cooperation with our users. Procurement professionals from SMEs and multinational conglomerates alike value our commitment to building software that they love. Service providers rely on Apadua to shorten their sales cycles and reduce their efforts to initiate business.
