VergabeHero

What VergabeHero does

VergabeHero is a product of Neura Labs UG (haftungsbeschränkt), a privately held German company headquartered in Worpswede, Germany, led by Managing Director Moritz Landwehr. The platform applies large language model-based semantic matching to public procurement: a user enters their company website once, the AI extracts their offerings and translates them into German and EU procurement terminology, and the system continuously matches the company against an aggregated database of roughly 78,300 active tenders, 12,500 contracting authorities, and 31,900 historical contract awards drawn from Bund.de, all German state platforms, Cosinex, Komm-X, municipal portals, and EU TED. The product replaces manual keyword-based tender screening (10–20% relevance rates reported) with semantically scored daily matches ('Perfekter Match', 'Guter Match') and a learning filter that improves precision based on user feedback.

Beyond matching, the platform bundles an integrated pipeline manager, automated qualification checklists across four criteria, team collaboration and task assignment, stakeholder/decision-maker data on contracting authorities, reference-project reuse with match scoring, a conversational AI assistant for natural-language queries, and competitor award tracking. Delivery channels include email and WhatsApp notifications, with daily digests at 6:00am local time. The data assets are substantial relative to the company's footprint: over 400 active procurement platforms exist in Germany, and VergabeHero positions itself as the consolidation layer for that fragmentation in a public contracting market exceeding €500 billion annually.

VergabeHero operates a fully self-serve, product-led SaaS model with a free tier for browsing tenders, a 14-day free trial of full functionality, and a flat €99/month subscription (monthly cancellable) — materially cheaper than incumbents DTAD and Vergabe24 at €1,200–4,500/year. A 'Wechselangebot' switching program grants free access until any incumbent contract expires to eliminate migration friction. GTM is content- and SEO-led with webinars and consultation bookings as mid-funnel conversion, and the company is GDPR/DSGVO-compliant with EU-only hosting. The customer base is horizontal SMB and mid-market across construction, IT services, trades, manufacturing, and DACH/EU-focused sales teams; no enterprise logos, ARR, or funding are disclosed.

Core offering

VergabeHero is an AI-powered SaaS platform that aggregates public procurement tenders from Germany and the EU and uses semantic matching to deliver highly relevant daily tender opportunities to B2B sales teams. Users enter their company website once; the AI reads and understands their offerings, then continuously matches them against 78,300+ tenders, 12,500+ contracting authorities, and 31,900+ awarded contracts. The platform combines tender discovery, qualification checklists, pipeline management, team collaboration, reference matching, and competitor intelligence in a single integrated dashboard at €99 per month.

Product overview

VergabeHero is a unified AI-powered SaaS platform for public procurement intelligence, built by Neura Labs UG. The core product is the VergabeHero Platform — a single integrated system combining AI tender matching (KI-Matching), a comprehensive tender database (Ausschreibungen with 78.3k+ opportunities), an AI chatbot assistant (KI-Chat), automated search profiles (Suchprofile) built from website analysis, project qualification checklists, team collaboration tools, reference management, award tracking (Zuschläge), and contracting authority intelligence (Auftraggeber). Users input their domain once; the AI reads their offerings and delivers 5-10 highly relevant daily tenders. A switching offer (Wechselangebot) is available for customers migrating from DTAD or Vergabe24, with free access until their existing contract expires. Pricing is transparent at €99/month, monthly cancellable.

Direct peers

• DTAD: DTAD is the leading incumbent German tender-search service explicitly named by VergabeHero as a primary competitor, offering similar tender databases at €1,200-4,500/year versus VergabeHero's €99/month.
• Vergabe24: Vergabe24 is the second directly named incumbent competitor of VergabeHero in the German public-procurement search market, with overlapping pricing tiers (€1,200-4,500/year) and target SMB customers.

Broad incumbents

• Cosinex: Cosinex is a larger German e-procurement platform providing tender publication, supplier network, and workflow tools; one of the 400+ source platforms that VergabeHero aggregates and a broader incumbent in the same public-procurement stack.
• Komm-X: Komm-X is a German municipal and public-sector e-procurement platform that VergabeHero explicitly crawls as a data source and that operates overlapping supplier-search functionality for the same buyers.
• JAGGAER (formerly BravoSolution): JAGGAER is a global source-to-pay and supplier-discovery suite used by large enterprises and public-sector buyers, representing a broader incumbent whose strategic sourcing modules overlap with VergabeHero's stakeholder and award intelligence.
• SAP Ariba: SAP Ariba is a broad enterprise procurement platform with public-sector sourcing capabilities and a large installed base; while not a direct SMB competitor, it represents the long-term scale incumbent in the procurement-intelligence space.

Others

• TED (Tenders Electronic Daily): TED is the official EU publication for public tenders and one of VergabeHero's primary data sources; it is adjacent rather than competitive but defines the same underlying public-procurement data category.

Emerging players

• Bonfire (GTY Technology): Bonfire is an emerging North-American public-procurement SaaS for bid management and vendor evaluation; comparable in product-led, modern-UX positioning to VergabeHero and a reference point for international expansion.
