What our customers say

„I appreciate working with OCCON because they are more than a tendering platform and bring logistics expertise in procurement and data management, to support the centralization of our logistics procurement. The OCCON team and their e-sourcing solution u-tender are very flexible. Their solution can be fully adapted to our needs and not the other way around. U-tender is very easy to use, for us and for suppliers, and it allows to gain efficiency in the tender process and accuracy in the decision making.“

„Steinbeis Papier uses OCCON’s „u-tender“ e-sourcing platform to tender our logistics services and other selected commodities.

„u-tender“ convinces both us and our suppliers with an extremely high-performance user interface, which is usually understood right away without any explanation or support.

„u-tender“ is fast, clearly designed & offers useful functionalities to enable optimal tender results.

We like that after the first bidding phase we have several options to continue the tender. E.g. via auctions or second rounds of tenders. All documents and inquiries from suppliers are stored revision-safe in the relevant tender section at any time, which ensures transparency and a central database.

The convincing user experience on „u-tender“ helps us to carry out professional and transparent tenders with our valued business partners and potential new suppliers to ensure fair negotiation results for everyone involved.“

"While working with u-tender and the support team to manage the FCL procurement, I have experienced several benefits in using the tool and especially the service.

The u-tender tool ensures the online access and is easy to understand. The data analysis and presentation of the results are very clear and grounded, facilitating the decision-making. The support during the whole tender process consistently have been fast-paced and reliable, reflecting competence of the company and its team members. We benefit from OCCON taking care of the tender set-up, execution and support while we can concentrate on the analysis.

I also appreciated the communication that was always friendly and caring towards our business and mutual collaboration.

Along with what is already said, the offer overall is cost-efficient, which encourages long-term cooperation in the future."

FAQ

As a matter of course. Our customers have been using our platform for over a decade in all modes of transport. Including not only the main ones such as land, sea and air transport but also niches such as rail, inland waterway or coaster, etc. Not to forget, of course, CEP services and warehouse tenders.
Our support is located in Germany as well as in Istanbul as a gateway to Asia. The quality of our support is more important to us than the location. Instead of a call centre in Asia, our support is informed about every running tender. Our customers as well as the bidders in Asia and the USA are always highly satisfied with our support.
You will be assigned a key account who will help you with on-boarding and discuss all the details with you. Our team is staffed with qualified buyers and logisticians.
This is not comparable to an SAP introduction. Within a few days and up to a maximum of 2 weeks, everything is discussed, individually configured and usable.
This essentially depends on the scope. In general, we expect about 3 months from data collection to award. In the case of poor data quality and/or missing tender documents, a little more must be invested in preparation.
After commissioning, the project can be started immediately.
You will usually receive a qualified individual offer within one week.
We take your requirements and get a tailor-made offer. You only pay for what you really need! We are also happy to offer different options.
We cover German, English, Spanish and Turkish.
Of course, you can use the service providers already registered and also request our support in the selection process. Registration and participation in the tenders is 100% free of charge for the DL. You are welcome to invite new service providers and contacts, there are no restrictions.
The platform is very intuitively designed, so that no manual is required to a large extent. In addition, there are videos directly where you need them. Manuals can of course also be created on request.
