Frustration
became solution.
We worked on tenders ourselves. For hours. Without success. Then we built Patterno.
A system that is too complex.
Germany spends 500 billion euros annually on public procurement. That is 15% of GDP. Yet:
decentralized procurement offices
Fragmented landscape without a central point of contact
tenders with only one bidder
Lack of competition hurts everyone
at municipal level
Decentrally distributed, hard to oversee
This needs to change.

Three dots. One mission.
Our logo tells our story: The three separate dots represent the fragmented complexity of public procurement. Scattered, confusing, time-consuming.
Patterno brings it all together. To one point.

What we learned from it.
Clarity
We've experienced firsthand how 127 pages of tender documents can consume an entire day. How after hours of reading, you still don't know if you can even participate.
That's why we reduce every tender to the essentials. In 30 seconds.
Accessibility
We've seen qualified craft businesses being excluded. Not because they can't deliver, but because the process is too cumbersome. Because they don't have time to search 30 different portals.
We're opening this market. For everyone.
Efficiency
We've watched entire teams work for weeks on a single proposal. The same texts being rewritten again and again. Deadlines missed because nobody was tracking them.
From weeks to minutes. This is not an exaggeration.
Focus
We don't believe in technology for technology's sake. AI is not an end in itself. Every feature must answer one question: Does this concretely help win more contracts?
If not, we don't build it.
