Our take
Nowadays, procurement processes require increasingly complex documentation, and the bidding process can be very repetitive. This wastes the time of teams that must re-enter the same information for every new proposal - which is what Altura hopes to address.
Altura enables teams to scrape data analysis and insights from pre-existing bids and proposals and use this information in the management of future bids. Ultimately, this means that teams can focus on strategy and highlighting value as opposed to the manual tasks of preparing a bid, as well as inform from past failure and success.
Process automation for companies isn’t exactly a new idea, but Altura’s focus on procurement processes gives them an attractive market niche. It’s early days for the company, but it already has European clients across a variety of industries and is using its early-stage funding to fine-tune its product and bring on new hires.
