By using the IT-Matchmaker platform, we currently (as of 09-2023) have access to &gt; 1,800 providers and solutions for our tenders. For example, there are &gt; 100 different TMS Transport Management Systems alone. In other areas, the number of providers is much, much higher.   <\/p>\n<p>This broad base, often supplemented by new providers within the framework of an individual tender, allows us to analyze an extremely wide range of providers with our clients.<\/p>\n<p>The methodology of tendering via the IT-Matchmaker platform of Trovarit AG and the agreements with all listed providers ensure that we are truly indifferent to who ultimately gets the contract.<\/p>\n<p>Based on these agreements, we can commit to a binding guarantee, which is enshrined in our General Terms and Conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_center\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.der-digitalisierungsberater.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Flow_IMG_20230727_160921_01_009_resized-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.der-digitalisierungsberater.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Flow_IMG_20230727_160921_01_009_resized-scaled.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.der-digitalisierungsberater.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Flow_IMG_20230727_160921_01_009_resized-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">A clear conscience regarding impartiality is a good thing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anyone seeking impartial advice needs a consultant with extensive know-how, access to a broad provider market, and corresponding contractual obligations.<\/p>\n<p>We offer exactly that!
