What vemap einkaufsmanagement does

vemap Einkaufsmanagement GmbH is a Vienna-based (1090 Wien, Berggasse 31) private limited company (GmbH) that develops and operates the vemap Beschaffungsportal, an Application Service Provider (ASP) / cloud-hosted e-procurement and spend-management platform. Its modular product suite covers the full procurement lifecycle: electronic tendering (E-Ausschreibungen) with encrypted and digitally signed offer submission, direct procurement (E-Direktvergabe) with TAN-based confirmation, supplier management (Lieferantenmanagement), electronic awarding (Elektronische Vergabe) compliant with the Austrian Bundesvergabegesetz (BVergG), online reverse auctions (Online-Auktionen), and expression-of-interest pre-qualification (Interessensbekundung). The platform supports differentiated workflows — six procurement phases for private clients and four for public organizations — and processes data exclusively on servers in Austria.

The company serves two primary customer segments: Austrian public sector organizations (government agencies, municipalities, hospitals, public institutions such as AUVA, KAGES, TILAK, Holding Graz, Stadt Wels, Stadt Salzburg, Stadt Innsbruck, Universität Innsbruck) requiring BVergG-compliant procurement, and private enterprises across healthcare, utilities, retail, education, manufacturing, and culture (REWE Group, Salzburg AG, Energie Steiermark, KELAG, LINZ AG, TIWAG, Binderholz, FH Joanneum). Each customer receives an individually customized portal, and vemap has positioned itself since 2006 as a partner in Austria for the implementation of BVergG-compliant procurement procedures.

The business model combines an ASP-style recurring software subscription — priced per customer on a custom, quote-based basis typically contracted over multi-year terms — with professional services revenue from implementation, training, and support. The company is sales-led, delivering its software as a direct, browser-accessible SaaS with no on-premise installation, and markets itself via its corporate website and a deep reference portfolio rather than through third-party channels or public marketing spend. The company is independently owned and managed by two Managing Directors (Geschäftsführerinnen): Mag. Christiane Toppler (Sales and Project Management) and Mag. Tina Zimmermann (Finance and IT), and is currently hiring DevOps engineering and IT support staff to support stated expansion.
