NEXTBUY

What NEXTBUY does

NextBuy Sp. z o.o. is a Polish e-procurement SaaS vendor headquartered in Kielce, Poland, that provides a modular cloud platform automating the procure-to-pay (P2P) cycle for medium and large enterprises. The platform comprises six integrated modules — Purchases (Zakupy), Suppliers (Dostawcy), Auctions and Tenders (Aukcje i przetargi), eCatalogs (eKatalogi), Contracts (Umowy), and Analytics (Analizy) — covering purchase requisitions, order management, electronic reverse auctions (English and Dutch formats), supplier evaluation, contract repository with deadline tracking, RFx management, punch-out catalog integration, and reporting across 25+ KPIs. The company serves primarily financial services, FMCG, and manufacturing organizations in Poland, with named reference customers including Nest Bank, Zeelandia, and SDA Group. Its supplier network holds 60,000+ registered suppliers and ~300 active buyers, and the platform was qualified as an "All Stars" tool in the 2018 Capgemini Digital Procurement Research Report — the only Polish purchasing system so recognized.

The company operates a two-tier pricing model: a free tier for single users (tenders and private supplier database) and a Business tier with individual annual pricing for 2-999 users bundling auctions, global supplier database, catalogs, contracts, orders, invoice workflow, and analytics. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales with dedicated phone support (+48 517 602 218), free demo offerings, and implementation/consulting services bundled into deployments. NextBuy distributes through a sister-company channel with OptiBuy, a procurement consulting firm co-founded by the same CEO (Mateusz Borowiecki), which generates inbound consulting-to-software referrals. Native integrations exist with Acumatica ERP, supplier punch-out catalogs, and SSO providers (Google, LinkedIn). OCR invoice processing is included, but no broader AI/ML capabilities are documented.

NextBuy was founded in 2016 (originally as ISRM, a spinoff from OptiBuy) and received a minority investment from OEX S.A. (via OEX E-Business) in 2017, which funded a rebrand, website redesign, and platform expansion. The company is privately held under Polish law as a sp. z o.o. and operates from offices in Kielce (headquarters) and Warsaw (shared with OptiBuy). The team is small, led by CEO Mateusz Borowiecki, VP Jacek Jarmuszczak (ex-Philips, Carlsberg, Danfoss), CTO Miłosz Ziernik, and implementation/managerial staff; the holding is OEX S.A. (Grupa Kapitałowa OEX). Revenue, headcount, and post-2018 funding are not disclosed.

• Basware: Finnish-headquartered AP automation and purchase-to-pay platform. A European peer with overlapping modules in invoice processing, P2P automation, and supplier management — comparable to NextBuy's analytics and invoice OCR capabilities.

Direct peers

• Zycus: AI-powered source-to-pay platform with sourcing, procurement, AP automation, and analytics — overlapping directly with NextBuy's six modules and competing for the same mid-market and enterprise customers.
• GEP SMART: Unified procurement platform combining sourcing, contract management, spend analysis, and supplier management — a direct competitor in the same S2P category as NextBuy with a global delivery model.
