TL;DR: Pedlar's single-creditor model
The single-creditor model (also called single-vendor model) is a procurement model for indirect needs and spend in B2B purchasing, from one-time purchases and C-parts to occasional buys. Companies set Pedlar up as their only central supplier in the ERP system and can run any number of one-time purchases, special purchases, services and software licenses through it, without setting up a new supplier for each special case. This way you consolidate your tail spend through a single vendor and cut the admin work per order.
Pedlar handles the order, order confirmation, delivery coordination and compliant, central invoicing. All invoices come from one vendor instead of many individual suppliers. The customer's internal approval workflow stays unchanged.
- One vendor in the ERP for all indirect one-time purchases
- No new supplier setups for special purchases
- Suited to: one-time purchases, C-parts, occasional buys, non-catalog items, requests from individual departments, services and software, including small orders under €1,000
- Works with SAP, other ERP systems and existing procure-to-pay processes
