About Webridge

Webridge operates as an e-procurement platform designed to assist companies in optimizing their purchasing processes. The firm was co-founded by Georg Wall and Oliver Eilhard, who have been influential in the e-procurement software development sector since 1999. Their journey includes the establishment of several ventures such as Wallmedien, which developed catalogue buying solutions for global corporations, and Meplato, a vendor integration and catalogue cloud platform.

The company's primary offering is a software platform that centralizes procurement tasks to enhance transparency and reduce manual processes. It serves a range of clients from self-employed professionals to midsize businesses across various industries, including advertising, marketing, and information technology. The business model is centered on providing software solutions that manage purchasing, track supplier performance, and control spending.

The Webridge platform provides tools for creating purchase orders, approving requests, and tracking order status. A key feature is its ability to facilitate price comparisons across different channels within a single interface. The system uses an API-based approach to integrate with existing e-procurement systems or can be used with its own storefront user interface, allowing for real-time data access. This enables features like real-time price visibility and the ability to add second and third sources of supply to mitigate risks. The platform also focuses on sustainability and ethical practices by providing transparency to support strategic purchasing decisions that align with corporate social responsibility goals.
