The market shift
B2B procurement is being redefined – for both sides.
For buyers
Procurement decisions are made earlier, increasingly based on data and supported by AI. Buyers need to understand complex markets quickly, capture their requirements in a structured way, and compare solutions objectively.
For providers
Providers need to be visible with reliable information exactly where suitable solutions are being sought. BenchTrust brings both sides together in a transparent process — from initial requirements to a qualified inquiry.
The new reality of B2B sourcing
01
Requirements before market search
Buyers define requirements and priorities before the comparison begins. Providers receive more relevant, better-qualified inquiries.
02
Data instead of gut feeling
Verified information, weighted criteria, and transparent scores create a reliable decision-making foundation for both sides.
03
Relevance over noise
Buyers find the right partners faster. Providers become visible when their offering genuinely matches the requirement.
Why BenchTrust
BenchTrust – one solution for both sides.
For buyers
When decisions are made during the research phase, the foundation of that research must be verifiable. BenchTrust makes criteria, weightings, and provider information transparent.
For providers
Verified provider data and data processing governed by German law create reliable visibility where concrete demand emerges.
Three principles you can validate – not three promises.

BenchTrust is a neutral B2B procurement platform for selecting software and services. Buyers structure their requirements, compare providers using transparent criteria, and support decisions with Analytics, the BenchTrust Score, and the Match Score.
BenchTrust is built for everyone who needs to procure software or services – whether in a business unit, procurement, management, or IT – and wants to skip the tedious legwork: researching providers, combing through websites, maintaining criteria in spreadsheets, comparing offers. BenchTrust takes that work off your plate. The platform is AI-based and specifically trained for procurement decisions: it knows the criteria of each category, structures your requirements, compares providers neutrally, and guides you to a well-founded decision in just a few steps.
BenchTrust is completely free for buyers. This includes provider search, structured needs analysis, weighted comparison, Match Score, and RFPs. There are no usage fees or costs for contacting suitable providers.
BenchTrust assesses providers using defined criteria, weightings, and knockout requirements. Providers cannot buy a better score or a better match. Their documented capabilities and alignment with the buyer's concrete requirements determine the result.
Questions from providers
BenchTrust creates basic profiles from publicly available sources such as company websites, registers, industry directories, and trade publications. The purpose is to provide a transparent B2B market overview. Sources and update status are documented where available.
Freemium provides a free basic presence. Showcase costs €89.90 net per month and Lead Engine €349.00 net per month. Promotion can be added for €199.00 net per advertising format and month. Paid subscriptions are open-ended and cancellable monthly.
No. The BenchTrust Score and Match Score are independent of the plan booked. Premium adds profile design, contact options, and statistics, but it cannot buy a better rating or a stronger match with an RFP.
Paid provider plans are open-ended and can be cancelled with one month's notice at the end of the billing period. You manage plan changes, invoices, and cancellation in the customer portal. After cancellation, the free basic presence remains as a Freemium profile.
