mysupply

mysupply is a SaaS platform developed in Hamburg that automates tactical and operational procurement using artificial intelligence and game-theory algorithms. The vendor is Mysupply GmbH (Jungfernstieg 7, Hamburg), founded by Andreas Zimmermann, who continues to lead the company as CEO. The product is not an ERP in the narrow sense but a specialised procurement and sourcing suite that is integrated into existing ERP and spend-management landscapes. In particular, the availability as a certified SAP-partner plug-in makes mysupply a typical representative of modern composable-ERP architectures: specialised best-of-breed solutions are orchestrated deliberately around a backbone ERP rather than relying on a monolithic standard product. mysupply targets procurement organisations that want to digitise their tendering and negotiation processes, realise efficiency gains and at the same time achieve demonstrable savings.

Functional sweet spot

mysupply's functional scope covers the full source-to-contract process. At the centre sits an AI-guided sourcing workflow: users can create a tender in minutes that is automatically sent to known suppliers and — on request — supplemented with additional suppliers from the “Wer liefert was” B2B marketplace. A game-theory-trained AI determines the optimal negotiation mechanic (Reverse Auction, English or Dutch auction, Japanese variant) and proposes it as a recommendation. Users can run auctions and structured negotiations either assisted or largely autonomously. An AI Buying Assistant takes requirements from the business (intake), classifies them and converts them automatically into a fitting procurement workflow. The functional sweet spot is tactical and operational procurement with measurable savings — the area in which classical strategic-sourcing tools are too heavy and manual spreadsheet-driven processes leave money on the table.

DACH positioning

mysupply is a Tier-3 specialist on the DACH market, positioned in the procurement and sourcing niche rather than as a full source-to-pay suite. The certified SAP-partner status is the key competitive lever: large DACH organisations almost always run SAP at the ERP layer, and mysupply's ability to integrate as a plug-in without replacing the existing procurement landscape is a defensible position. Hosting is in European data centres, which matters for DSGVO-conscious buyers and regulated industries. The Hamburg headquarters and German engineering origin remain visible in the product's handling of German-specific procurement practices and the integration to the “Wer liefert was” B2B marketplace as a long-established German supplier directory.

Pricing and implementation

mysupply does not publish list prices and quotes individually based on procurement volume, user count and integration depth. For an indicative DACH mid-market or large-enterprise deployment with significant tactical-procurement volume, annual subscription pricing usually falls in the mid-five to low-six-figure euro range, with implementation services adding a comparable one-off amount in the first year. All-in three-year TCO commonly lands between approximately 300,000 and 1.5 million euro depending on scope and SAP integration depth. The ROI argument typically rests on documented procurement savings, where the AI-driven negotiation outperforms manual negotiations by a measurable margin on commodity and semi-commodity categories. Implementation timelines are short by enterprise standards — typically two to four months — because the platform is layered on top of the existing ERP rather than replacing it.

Selection considerations

mysupply is a defensible choice for DACH mid-market and large-enterprise procurement organisations with significant tactical-procurement volume on commodity and semi-commodity categories where the AI-driven negotiation can demonstrably outperform manual processes. It is less compelling for organisations with primary needs in strategic sourcing of complex direct materials (where SAP Ariba, Coupa or JAGGAER fit better), for organisations without an existing ERP backbone where the plug-in model is less effective, or for organisations whose procurement volume is too small to justify a dedicated platform (where configured P-card workflows in the ERP are usually enough). Buyers should test the AI-driven negotiation against their actual commodity categories during a pilot to validate the savings argument.

Comparable vendors

Direct comparables in the tactical-procurement and sourcing niche include Onventis (DACH-native), JAGGAER Sourcing (broader S2P suite), SAP Ariba Sourcing (the SAP-direct alternative), Coupa Sourcing and Ivalua Sourcing. For indirect-procurement specifically, Lhotse competes with a different feature direction (AI-guided requisition rather than AI-driven negotiation). mysupply's differentiator is the depth of the game-theory-trained AI for negotiation mechanics, which is unusual in the procurement market and is the operational lever behind the savings argument. The composable-ERP positioning — best-of-breed alongside an SAP or other ERP backbone — suits buyers that prefer not to commit to a monolithic S2P suite.

Fazit

mysupply ist ein typisches Beispiel dafür, wie spezialisierte SaaS-Solutions klassische ERP- und Spend-Management-Suiten gezielt ergänzen. Wer seinen Purchasing datenbasiert digitalisieren, Ausschreibungen automatisieren und Verhandlungen mit Hilfe von KI strukturieren will, findet in mysupply eine moderne, fokussierte Plattform mit deutscher Verankerung in Hamburg. Für SAP-Bestandskunden ist das offizielle SAP Sourcing Plug-in ein besonders pragmatischer Einstieg, ohne in eine schwergewichtige Spend-Suite migrieren zu müssen. Mittelständler ohne dedizierten Purchasing oder mit sehr geringen taktischen Volumina sollten dagegen die Investition gegen die Bordmittel ihres bestehenden Backbone-ERPs abwägen. In Summe ist mysupply ein guter Kandidat in Sourcing-Shortlists, die typischerweise auch SAP Ariba, JAGGAER, Coupa und Onventis enthalten.
