Little volume, a lot of work.
The tail: suppliers you buy from rarely or once. Each order runs the same process as a large one.
New supplier every time
A spare part or calibration means a new vendor, often for one order.
No framework agreement
No repeat orders, no volume to negotiate.
Workarounds, not process
Anything slow ends up on the company card or a collective vendor account.

FAQ
What is tail spend management?
Tail spend is the many small purchases outside contracts and catalogs. Tail spend management bundles them into one process instead of handling each order on its own.
Which providers are there for tail spend management?
E-procurement suites with a spot-buy function, procurement service providers and the single-creditor model. As the only vendor, Pedlar handles every order through to the invoice.
Which purchases does Pedlar take on?
Spare parts, special parts, trade fair supplies, hardware, services and software. You choose the supplier yourself.
Does our ordering process change?
No. Approval levels and budget limits stay as they are. The order just goes to Pedlar instead of a new supplier.
What does Pedlar cost?
There are no fixed costs and no minimum purchase. Orders by quote or link carry a service fee that depends on order volume. Marketplace prices are final prices.
