Broad incumbents

• Oracle Procurement Cloud: Oracle's procurement cloud suite (part of Oracle Fusion ERP) covers sourcing, supplier management, contracting, and procurement analytics for large enterprises. It is a broader incumbent competing for the same S2P workload, especially among large multinationals operating in or near Russia.
• Zakupki.gov.ru: The Unified Information System in Public Procurement (Zakupki.gov.ru) is Russia's official government procurement portal aggregating state and municipal tenders. While focused on B2G (not B2B like B2B-Center), it is the dominant platform by volume in adjacent procurement market segments and a key reference point for the Russian ETP landscape.
• Workday Strategic Sourcing: Workday's strategic sourcing module competes in the same source-to-contract space as B2B Altis, offering sourcing, supplier management, and contract lifecycle management as part of a broader enterprise cloud suite for large organizations.

Direct peers

• RTS-Tender: RTS-Tender is a sister platform within the B2B-RTS Group alongside B2B-Center, offering electronic trading for commercial and government procurement in Russia. While affiliated under the same group, it serves overlapping customer segments and overlapping tendering functionality, making it the closest domestic peer by market and product.
• SAP Ariba: SAP Ariba is the global leader in source-to-pay procurement cloud. B2B-Center's B2B Altis is explicitly positioned as the Russian domestic alternative to SAP Ariba by the Ministry of Digital Development, making it the most direct head-to-head peer in S2P functionality and target customer (large enterprises).
• Jaggaer: Jaggaer is a pure-play source-to-pay procurement platform serving large enterprises globally. Like B2B-Center / B2B Altis, it offers supplier management, sourcing, contract management, and spend analytics under one suite, making it a direct competitor for multinational and large-enterprise procurement modernization deals.
• Coupa Software: Coupa (now owned by Thoma Bravo) operates a cloud-based business spend management platform covering procurement, invoicing, and expenses. It competes with B2B Altis for the same large-enterprise S2P workload, with comparable modules for sourcing, contract management, supplier management, and analytics.
• Fabrikant.ru: Fabrikant is one of Russia's largest competing electronic trading platforms for B2B and B2G procurement. It operates in the same regulatory and geographic market as B2B-Center, offering tendering, auctions, and procurement services to Russian commercial and government buyers.

Emerging players

• Seldon.Zakupki: Seldon is a Russian procurement intelligence and analytics platform providing tender monitoring, supplier verification, and data services for government and commercial procurement. It overlaps with B2B-Center's analytics and supplier-discovery modules but focuses on data/insight rather than transactional tendering.

Others

• Corpmarket (partner): Corpmarket is a Russian B2B partner platform that provides closed online stores with verified supplier pools and integrated with B2B-Center. It is adjacent rather than directly competitive, functioning as an ecosystem partner that supports specialized procurement use cases on top of B2B-Center's infrastructure.
