One-time purchases & C-parts

Handle one-time purchases and C-parts without a single new supplier.

You set Pedlar up once as a vendor in your ERP system. From then on, order, payment and invoice for every one-time purchase run through Pedlar. The supplier delivers straight to your site.

The model

What is the Single-Creditor Model?

The single-creditor model (also single-vendor or one-creditor model) runs the admin for indirect and one-time purchases through one central vendor and one fixed contact.

01/ 06How it works

One-time purchases: four steps, none of them a new system.

Your ordering process stays. The vendor at the other end is always the same.

01 / 04

The department finds the item, service or supplier: online shop, quote or link.

02 / 04

Procurement raises a normal ERP order to Pedlar, already set up, not a new supplier.

03 / 04

Pedlar orders and pays, even when the supplier wants prepayment or card. Delivery goes straight to your site.

04 / 04

An auditable invoice from Pedlar, your only vendor: compliant, same format every time, clean for accounts payable and audit.

Handled within 24 hours by a person, not a ticket system.

02/ 06Coverage

Pedlar is your supplier for one-time C-parts and every other one-time purchase.

Any one-time purchase runs through Pedlar, whatever the supplier or category.

  • Products from online shops

    Items from B2C and B2B shops, even if they only take prepayment or credit card.

  • Services

    From repairs to special installation.

  • Software licences

    Single licences and tools outside IT framework agreements.

  • Spare parts

    The urgent spare part from a niche supplier, no setup needed.

  • Trade fair & event supplies

    Stand, tech and giveaways for one event.

  • Special parts & technical items

04/ 06Scope

One vendor instead of a hundred one-time suppliers.

Your catalog keeps standard purchases. For the rest, Pedlar is set up once as a vendor, and new supplier setups stop.

Compare the single-creditor model and a procurement platform side by side.

Recurring framework purchases are excluded: they belong in your catalog.

Common questions about the Single-Creditor Model

Do we have to roll out new software?

No. Pedlar is set up once as a vendor in your ERP system. That is the only change you need to start.

What does it cost to run orders through Pedlar?

There are no fixed costs and no minimum volumes. You pay per order, and the price depends on the order value.

How quickly is my request handled?

Every request is handled within 24 hours. You deal with a personal contact, not a ticket system.

Does Pedlar also handle spot buys?

Yes. Spot buys are one-time, unplanned purchases outside the catalog and framework agreements.

Is Pedlar a C-parts management provider?

For one-time C-parts, yes: spare and special parts that are not in any catalog. Recurring C-parts stay with your Kanban or catalog supplier.
