Crowdfox (Past Sponsor)

Crowdfox is a SaaS solution for indirect procurement, designed to optimize operational purchasing at scale. At its core: a proprietary data architecture built around the UTIN® (Unique Trade Item Number), enabling real-time comparability across millions of items from all suppliers and marketplaces. The system uses generative AI to harmonize product data, identify cost-saving substitutes, and eliminate manual effort. The GenAI assistant ChatCFX understands purchasing needs in natural language, suggests matching items, processes offer data, and generates requisitions directly within ERP or SRM systems. The result: 12% average savings, 7 minutes faster per cart, 80% fewer free-text orders.

Crowdfox is trusted by 100,000+ users in 34 countries – including seven of Germany’s top 15 enterprises. In 2024, McKinsey named Crowdfox a Top 10 Finalist in The Spark – AI for Business. In 2025, EY honored the solution with the AI Procurement Award for measurable impact, improved processes, and smarter collaboration in procurement.
