Nalanda Global

What Nalanda Global does

Nalanda Global, S.A. is a Spanish B2B SaaS company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Las Rozas de Madrid, operating under the Once For All (OFA) group since the 2021 investment by PSG Equity. The company provides a document management and business coordination platform focused on subcontractor and supplier lifecycle management — covering supplier validation, time and access control, electronic invoicing, documentary compliance, and project tracking for workers, machinery and active projects. The product is used across at least nine verticals including construction, energy, food, maintenance, water, naval, tourism, services and industry.

The core platform is delivered as multi-tier annual SaaS subscriptions billed to contractors and benchmarked by workers, machinery and project volume, with a freemium tier for contractors and free onboarding for suppliers. Revenue is diversified across subscription fees, marketplace commissions on transactions routed through the platform, and documentary fees that can be absorbed, shared or passed through to suppliers. Technical architecture is cloud-native across AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure as disclosed sub-processors, with a public REST API enabling integrations and ecosystem extension.

Following the May 2023 acquisition of Dokify, Nalanda serves 70,000+ customers across 16 countries, with deeper roots in Spain and active subsidiaries in Colombia, Chile and Panama. The platform is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ENS Medium level, and is aligned with NIS2 requirements, positioning it for regulated and public-sector buyers. Activity metrics reported in the input show year-over-year growth of +62% in contractors, +56% in suppliers, +28% in active projects, +62% in workers and +43% in machinery tracked on the platform.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Platform Subscription (Contractors/Buyers): Annual subscription fees charged to contractor/buyer clients, calculated based on the number of workers and/or machinery the client manages, plus the number of clients/projects in which the contractor is assigned and their documentation is viewed. Annual renewal with prior notice of updated tariffs.
2. SaaS Platform Subscription (Suppliers): Suppliers can join the platform free of charge (subject to commercial study). Primary revenue from buyers, with some services generating documentary costs that buyers may choose to absorb, share, or pass on to suppliers.
3. Marketplace / Supplier Directory: The Marketplace and Supplier Directory provide visibility and lead generation for suppliers, with the platform earning commissions or fees from premium placements or transactions within the marketplace ecosystem.
4. Electronic Document Costs (Costes Documentales): Documentary costs in CAE management, qualification, invoicing and offers processes can be absorbed by the buyer, shared, or passed to suppliers — a flexible cost model that distributes documentation processing fees across the supply chain.

Core offering

Nalanda Global provides a B2B SaaS platform that aggregates large enterprise contractors and their suppliers around a digital ecosystem for exchanging documentation, supplier qualification, electronic invoicing, access control, and marketplace-based supplier discovery. The platform's flagship is the CAE (Coordinación de Actividades Empresariales) Document Management Platform, complemented by Supplier Pre-Qualification (PQQ), a B2B Marketplace, Collaborative PRL/OHS Software, Supplier Directory, Access Control, and Electronic Invoicing modules.

Product overview

Nalanda Global is a SaaS platform that aggregates large companies and their suppliers around a digital platform for exchanging documentation, purchases, invoices, and business information. The platform operates as a unified ecosystem combining a core CAE Document Management Platform with multiple integrated modules including Supplier Pre-Qualification (PQQ), Marketplace, Collaborative PRL/OHS Software, Supplier Directory, Access Control, Electronic Invoicing, and On-Site Personnel services. The platform also incorporates the Artio technology (operated under license from Once for All, Ltd) powering the PQQ and Marketplace functions. Following the 2023 acquisition of Dokify, the platform expanded into non-construction sectors while consolidating its position in Spain. Services are bifurcated between buyer-facing tools (contractor document management, electronic invoicing, supplier qualification, purchasing tools) and supplier-facing services (subcontractor documentation submission, works information, marketplace visibility).
