A replacement part is needed, but its manufacturer is not yet in the purchasing system. A single order can mean setting up and managing another supplier. Pedlar handles these one-off purchases through one central supplier. This also covers specialist tools and software licences missing from standard purchasing catalogues. Customers continue to order through their familiar processes. How Pedlar works
Pedlar aims to develop one of the most technologically advanced solutions for this type of procurement. Its team brings purchasing experience to the work of digitising order handling. It uses LLMBase to process orders and compare prices, supporting two recurring tasks: handling customer requests and evaluating purchasing options.
Pedlar’s Punchout offering shows how customers place an order. They upload a PDF quote or paste a product link. Pedlar extracts the item details and creates a shopping cart. Customers then approve the cart and place the order in their own procurement system. Pedlar Punchout
Pedlar describes the effect of consolidating one-off suppliers in its Witzenmann case study. It reports an 85 percent reduction in processing costs per order under the single-creditor model. The stated annual processing costs are €6,300 instead of €42,000, a saving of €35,700. These figures refer to the procurement service as a whole.

More than 100 companies trust the service, according to Pedlar. Its team handles procurement and remains available for questions and special requests. Purchasing teams can deal with occasional requirements while spending more time on their strategic responsibilities. Pedlar services, Pedlar Punchout
