e-Request Dashboard
The procurement dashboard in e-Request: two tasks to decide today, and tiles counting open deadlines, ratings, questions and supplier approvals.

Built for organizations of all sizes

Built for your industry — with a fixed process and configurable roles, permissions and criteria.

Still managing tenders in Excel and Email?

Manual procurement processes are slow, error-prone and cost time in every tender cycle.

  • Supplier information scattered
  • Approvals via email
  • Unclear evaluation
  • Compliance risk
  • Missing audit trail
  • Difficult collaboration

Intuitive. Modern. Powerful.

Benefits that make a difference

  • Save Time

    Automate repetitive tasks and focus on what matters.

  • More Transparency

    Clear processes and documented decisions.

  • Reduce Costs

    Better processes and transparency save money.

  • Better Collaboration

    Work together with your team and suppliers.

  • Auditable, not asserted

    Activity log, roles and documented approvals are built in — the evidence your audit asks for.

  • Scalable & Flexible

    Grows with your organization. The process stays deliberately fixed — roles, permissions, criteria and templates are what you configure.

Works with your existing systems

Open interfaces and standard integrations.

  • Webhooks (signed)
  • CSV/XLS export
  • SSO with your IdP (OIDC)
  • Email templates
  • MCP connector for your AI
  • REST API v1 (read and write)

As an add-on, your buying side signs in via OpenID Connect against your existing identity provider, such as Entra ID, Keycloak or Okta. We set up the connection together with your IT. Suppliers sign in with their own account by design, because they work for many buying organizations.

The REST API v1 reads tenders, suppliers, offers and categories and writes tenders, suppliers and categories — offers stay read-only. It is switched on and paid for.

Security you can rely on

Built for compliance and data protection in Switzerland.

  • Swiss hosting on request

    For your instance we set up an environment with a Swiss provider on request; our demo and test environments run in Germany. On-Premise runs in your own infrastructure — you decide the location.

  • GDPR and DSG compliant

    Built to be operated under the revDSG and GDPR: separation of roles, change log, separate instances. What operations contribute — location, backup, data processing agreement — is fixed in your quote.

  • Role-based access

    Granular permissions and user roles.

  • Activity Log

    Comprehensive activity log across all business objects.

  • Encrypted in transit

    Transport is TLS-encrypted throughout. Encryption at rest is not part of the standard setup today — where you need it, we agree it in your quote.

  • SSO with your identity provider

    OIDC SSO for the buying side as an add-on, set up with your existing IdP. Without SSO: user management with invitation and password. Suppliers sign in with their own account — optionally with a second factor via authenticator app, enforceable for the whole instance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is e-Request suitable for public sector organizations?

Yes, for invitation-based procedures: e-Request supports compliant, transparent tendering under “Einladungsverfahren” (VöB / VOL/A UVgO), with an activity log and role-based access. It is not designed for WTO-scale public tenders.

Where is my data hosted?

That depends on the deployment model. For Cloud SaaS we set up your instance with a Swiss provider on request; our demo and test environments currently run in Germany. Encryption at rest is not part of the standard setup — where you need it, we agree it in your quote. With On-Premise and Managed Service the data sits in your own infrastructure and you decide the location.

Regardless of the model: transport is TLS-encrypted and the product is GDPR and DSG compliant. Backup concept, SLA and the data processing agreement are settled contractually rather than claimed wholesale on a website.

How long does implementation take?

Most organizations are productive within weeks, not months. e-Request is web-based and self-explanatory — a single training day is typically enough.

Can we integrate e-Request with our ERP?

Today through signed webhooks (offer.submitted, contract.signed, supplier.approved), CSV/XLS export of lists and the REST API /api/v1. The API is switched on and paid for: it reads tenders, suppliers, offers and categories, and writes tenders, suppliers and categories — offers stay read-only, they are authored in the supplier portal. One API key sees everything in the tenant. Direct ERP connectivity is on the roadmap. For sign-in: OIDC SSO for the buying side against your existing identity provider, as a paid add-on; an IdP that only speaks SAML needs a broker in front.

Is training included?

Yes. e-Request is designed to be self-explanatory; onboarding includes training, and one training day is the stated maximum for a purchasing team.

What support do you offer?

Support is included in every plan, with priority and dedicated support options for larger organizations. On-Premise and Managed Service customers receive deployment support as well.
