Unite: the go-to strategic partner elevating your procurement operations

Indirect procurement needs more than a marketplace

Procurement teams want to focus their energy on strategic initiatives, yet they are increasingly pulled in many directions, with indirect procurement consuming a significant share of their time. For many, indirect procurement is inefficient, involving countless suppliers, non-compliant buying and limited visibility over tail spend. The result is significant cost to the business.
On top of this, rising regulatory and sustainability demands are stretching teams even further. Marketplace-only solutions are not the answer, as they often fail to deliver on compliance, sustainability or cost savings. At Unite, we understand exactly where the market is heading, and we are leading the shift towards a new evolution.

From transactional marketplace to procurement partner

Unite began as a marketplace and network for catalogue-based goods, built on a compliant, data-driven foundation. Today, we go further in B2B and B2G indirect procurement by empowering teams with the tools, processes, and performance support that turn everyday procurement into a strategic advantage.
From vetting European suppliers and benchmarking prices, to supporting compliance and ESG reporting, we help you tackle process complexities so teams can focus on what truly matters. With Unite, procurement is not just managed—it’s optimised, trusted, and positioned to drive measurable results.

What this means for Unite customers

Transparency to transform indirect spend: with a purchase-view audit trail, you get a clear view of prices, service fees, and catalogue usage across your organisation, helping you set strategy and negotiate deals accordingly.
More control over costs: with product range optimisation, volume discounts and supplier management tools, you enjoy greater cost control and pricing predictability.
Detailed insights: through comparing suppliers for the best deals, comprehensive spend and CO2analytics we drive sustainability and deliver more value to your business.

We’re moving from being a marketplace to becoming a value partner. Procurement as a Service means we don’t just connect buyers and suppliers; we take on some of the operational weight. It’s about letting procurement teams focus on the strategic work that drives business value.

Still a trusted marketplace with great features

Unite operates as a compliant marketplace that combines a marketplace with procurement services across 12 countries, serving over 40,000 customers with access to over 100+ million products from thousands of pre-vetted European suppliers. We continue to offer the wide supplier choice your procurement teams have come to expect, and the oversight you require, while providing the ability toconsolidate your own catalogues into a convenient, one-stop marketplace.

One creditor, all the suppliers you need

Our single-creditor solution changes the game for our customers, allowing teams to buy from a wide range of suppliers without worrying about the admin requirements of hundreds of contractors. Expect to get the same benefits of streamlined purchasing and simplified invoice and payment processing so you can focus on more important conversations with your suppliers, like product advice, order queries and price negotiations.

Data to see your strategy soar

Our consulting services give you a clear, data-driven view of your indirect spend, making it easier to identify savings opportunities, streamline procurement and benchmark spending patterns. Alongside financial insights, we’ll also continue to provide CO₂ data per order, helping you understand the environmental impact of every purchasing decision. This helps you track progress against sustainability goals, choose greener alternatives and make more responsible procurement choices.

Support at every step

We offer seamless customer support along with guided rollout in our latest implementation and adoption packages. Our key account managers are available for personal consulting, regardless of which suppliers you buy from. It’s a single point of contact for your questions, issue resolution and order assistance. Whether you need help with delivery, invoicing, product information, or returns, we handle the communication and coordination with suppliers, providing you with the smooth, reliable and friction-free experience you’ve come to expect.

Your strategic performance partner

We know our customers want predictability, compliance and measurable supplier governance, which is why our new framework bridges commercial and delivery models. It’s a marketplace-at-your-service approach with a transparent service fee. It’s not about handing all your procurement needs over to someone else, but enabling your own procurement teams to increase transparency, compliance and efficiency from within. To do that, they need the right tools and services.

Tighter control of costs

Unite recently rolled out two volume-based commercial models – Flex for agile teams and Enterprise for those who need more structured governance – connect pricing logic with delivery efforts, ensuring every customer journey is commercially fair and operationally achievable. There are no hidden margins as with other marketplaces, just one transparent service fee. Customers also benefit from improved competition and catalogue optimisation.
