Widoo, the Belgian buying group, is launched

Founded in 2020, Widoo quickly won over a large number of companies in Luxembourg. At present, Widoo groups together 250 independent companies that benefit from the collaborative economy. After a few challenging and successful years, we decided to extend our network to Belgian SMEs. Widoo now officially opens its doors to all companies wishing to optimize their purchasing in Belgium. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, we’ve got what you need to save you money.

Who is Widoo Belgium for?

Widoo Belgium offers exceptional purchasing conditions for products and services used by everyone. Negotiated purchasing categories include all non-productive purchases. Often underestimated, these categories represent valuable sources of savings for companies.

You are eligible to become a member if you are :

An SME or ETI (Entreprise de Taille Intermédiaire) from any sector: industry, construction, commerce, services…
A cooperative or community : business groups, federations, etc.
A professional supplier: marketing a product or service that our members use on a recurring basis.

How does Widoo Belgium work?

Widoo simplifies your purchasing process and represents a real lever for profitability.

Thanks to the volume effect, Widoo negotiates significant price reductions, ranging from 15% to 35% on a variety of products and services (indirect purchases).

Based on the total volume accumulated by all our members, Widoo’s professional buyers will issue invitations to tender. Only the best offers from suppliers will be selected, highlighted on the Widoo digital platform, and presented by our animators during meetings.

Our dedicated animation team is there to guide you and propose turnkey solutions to reduce your costs.

In return for the best possible offer for its members, Widoo offers its partners – suppliers – support in promoting their products and developing their business volumes.

Take advantage of a wide range of framework contracts tailored to your target companies

Since its creation, Widoo has been able to verify that the cost of membership for its members pays for itself in just a few months. Our internal goal is to save you more than five times your membership fee over the course of the year. This is made possible by the negotiation of framework contracts. These include the following purchasing categories:

General services: office supplies, printers, computer equipment, telephony, etc.
Human resources : temping, recruitment, mandatory training, language training, payroll management, catering vouchers…
Mobility: vehicle leasing, fuel cards, flocking, repairs…
Maintenance and upkeep: waste management, cleaning services, fire protection, regulatory inspections, etc.
Consumables: purchase and rental of work clothing, purchase of personal protective equipment, tools, packaging, lifting equipment, etc.

Your supplier’s trial balance. This is an accounting extraction of your expenses for the previous year. This information will enable us to prioritize the files to be processed at your premises. What’s more, your spending will be aggregated with other members’ volumes, and this information will be passed on to suppliers.

To begin with, you will benefit from an integration period, enabling you to fully understand the approach and actively contribute to the collective dynamic.

Our dedicated team will be happy to provide you with all the details you need about contracts, opportunities and benefits you can enjoy as a member.

The schedule of events and launch of negotiations will be communicated to you regularly. Meetings are also organized with members to define the calls for tender to be issued and the criteria to be considered. The current schedule calls for 4 new calls for tender each month.
