2014 2015
And put those trends together.
( + ) x ( + ) = ?
To find the answer for the equation, we went to the Annual Clients and Vendors meet up (Aktau, Kazakhtan) to meet buyers, entrepreneurs, to hear their stories…
and this is what we’ve heard…
It looks like there are lots of vendors in Kz, but where are they when we need them?
Bekzhan Procurement manager
I hardly hear about any tenders from most of the companies in my region. BTW: What do companies buy this year?
Vasiliy Sales Engineer
I spend all day in the web, collecting emails of potential vendors, to invite them for pricing quotes
Saltanat Sr. buyer
Too much to pay for tenders subscriptions.
Aidar Entrepreneur
So the answer to the equation is
Market 1.0
We got back to drawing board and after 7 month of research, design and development and countless nights, sodas, coffee and pizzas,
came up with…
There must be a better way!
Ta-da!
