Procuros
Procuros GmbH is a young, fast-growing Hamburg-based tech company headquartered in the Winterhude district. Founded in 2021, the vendor set out to radically automate the paper-and-email-based B2B processes between suppliers and retailers. Instead of replicating the classical EDI-provider model with years-long onboarding and project-priced setup, Procuros positions itself as "EDI as API" with modern UX, transparent pricing and an explicit Mid-Market focus. For DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) suppliers, manufacturers and retailers needing to exchange orders, despatch advices and invoices with major retailers and marketplaces, Procuros is one of the more credible modern alternatives to traditional EDI providers.
Functional scope
The Procuros Integration Hub covers the full order-to-cash and procure-to-pay messaging spectrum. Through one central connection customers exchange purchase orders, order confirmations, despatch advices, goods-receipt confirmations, invoices, payment advices and master-data updates with their trading partners. Supported document formats span the classical EDI standards (EDIFACT, ANSI X12), modern API-based exchanges, and the German e-invoicing formats ZUGFeRD and XRechnung. PEPPOL connections for European public-sector and B2G invoicing are part of the platform.
Cloud-native architecture
Procuros is built cloud-native and follows a modern API-first philosophy. Customers need no in-house EDI infrastructure; mapping, routing and monitoring all run in the Procuros cloud. Plug-and-play connectors for common ERPs — weclapp, Haufe X360, plentyOne and others — eliminate the integration plumbing that classical EDI setups require. AI-driven extraction handles unstructured inbound documents (PDF orders, scanned papers, email-only suppliers), turning them into structured data the ERP can consume.
Target audience and verticals
Procuros targets manufacturers, suppliers and retailers in consumer goods, fashion, beauty, DIY and electronics, plus the food retail and FMCG sectors. Typical use cases connect to major retail chains and marketplaces like Edeka, Rewe, Metro, Amazon Vendor, Otto and Zalando. The product fit is strongest for Mid-Market suppliers whose existing EDI setup is straining or expensive and who want to consolidate their integration layer on a single modern platform. For very large enterprises with deep existing investment in SEEBURGER, Lobster or Comarch EDI, the case is less obvious.
Compliance and e-invoicing
Procuros is built around European compliance. The phased German B2B e-invoicing mandate (XRechnung and ZUGFeRD from the rolling effective dates) is fully supported. PEPPOL connections cover public-sector and pan-European B2B flows. Security features include encrypted transmission, role-based access and DSGVO-aligned data processing (DSGVO being the German implementation of GDPR). The European hosting matches the typical Mid-Market expectations without additional contractual gymnastics.
Competition and selection
In the EDI and iPaaS market Procuros competes with established players including SEEBURGER, Lobster, Comarch EDI, Boomi, Mulesoft and lighter automation tools like n8n. Unlike classical EDI platforms, Procuros positions itself as "EDI as API" with modern UX, transparent pricing and a Mid-Market orientation. The implementation runs directly between Procuros and the customer; certified connectors are particularly deep in the ecosystems of weclapp, Haufe X360 and plentyOne. The strongest selection signal is a Mid-Market supplier or manufacturer whose alternative is either a heavyweight legacy EDI setup or a sprawl of one-off connectors to each retail partner.
Strengths and limitations at a glance
- Cloud-native EDI/iPaaS designed from scratch to replace legacy paper-and-email B2B processes.
- Pre-built connectors to mainstream Mid-Market ERPs including weclapp, SAP Business One and Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- Headquartered in Hamburg with European data residency.
Considerations:
- Younger vendor (founded 2021) versus incumbent EDI specialists with multi-decade track records.
- Coverage of niche or industry-specific EDI standards may need confirmation during scoping.
- Subscription pricing scales with transaction volume; high-volume customers should validate the TCO model.
Best-fit profile and comparable vendors
Best-fit customers are DACH Mid-Market merchants, suppliers and wholesalers of 20 to 500 employees with growing EDI requirements and a preference for cloud-native tooling. Comparable vendors include SEEBURGER as the incumbent enterprise alternative, weclapp for an integrated ERP-and-EDI stack, and the broader iPaaS market. The EDI and EDIFACT primers are useful background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Procuros an ERP system?
No. Procuros is a B2B integration platform — an iPaaS and modern EDI alternative. It sits next to the ERP and handles the message exchange with trading partners, while the ERP remains the system of record.
Does Procuros support German e-invoicing?
Yes. ZUGFeRD and XRechnung are fully supported, in line with the phased German B2B e-invoicing mandate. PEPPOL connections cover public-sector and pan-European B2B flows.
Which ERPs does Procuros integrate with most deeply?
weclapp, Haufe X360 and plentyOne have certified, deep connectors. Procuros also integrates with broader ERP and Warenwirtschaft systems through standard connectors and APIs.
How does Procuros differ from classical EDI providers?
Procuros positions itself as "EDI as API": cloud-native architecture, transparent pricing, modern UX, AI-driven extraction of unstructured inbound documents, and a Mittelstand-friendly time-to-value — weeks rather than the multi-month onboarding typical of legacy EDI providers.
Which retailers and marketplaces does Procuros connect to?
Typical retail-side connections include Edeka, Rewe, Metro, Amazon Vendor, Otto and Zalando, alongside many smaller DACH retailers and FMCG distributors. The connector portfolio is continuously extended as Procuros onboards new trading partners on behalf of its supplier customer base.
