We bridge the gap between IT and procurement.
The goal of agile IT procurement is to increase a company’s flexibility, speed, and effectiveness. At softvelop., we focus on procurement consulting tailored to client needs. We develop practical and straightforward solutions that simplify the complex coordination process between IT and procurement – always keeping results in focus.
Many different players,
many conflicting needs
Whether it’s the procurement of hardware, software, or professional services, collaboration between procurement and IT departments is often a rocky path. This comes as no surprise: both functions pursue very different objectives. While IT focuses on achieving the desired quality within the planned timeframe, procurement is measured by the savings it can generate. These diverging priorities frequently lead to tension and a lack of mutual understanding.
The complexity increases further when the requirements of the legal department also need to be considered before negotiations with suppliers can begin. In many cases, these hurdles lead to slow and inflexible procurement processes that no longer meet the demands for speed and efficiency.
Our solution:
softvelop. helps to overcome these barriers by acting as the missing link between IT and procurement. We build a better understanding of the needs of both departments and find practical, efficient solutions that take into account both technical and economic requirements.

Our philosophy
The challenge in IT procurement lies in uniting the different interests of all stakeholders. At softvelop., we view IT procurement as the central ‘spider in the web’: we capture all interests, analyze the situation and needs, and identify potential problems early on. With our expertise and experience, we help to connect interfaces and set priorities – tailored exactly to the project and the desired outcomes.
We are more than just buyers: most of our experts come directly from the IT industry and know exactly what matters. We know the fundamentals and work at eye level with IT clients and suppliers. This allows us to mediate between internal and external stakeholders and effectively resolve conflicts of interest.
