Who are we?

SKARDE® was founded in the end of 2018 and employs a team of 11 ambitious people within software development, sales, product, and financing. The company has a professional board of directors and is following an ambitious growth strategy. SKARDE® is a separate spin-off business from one of the most successful and fastest-growing Procurement & Supply Chain management consultancies in Scandinavia, Prokura A/S.

SKARDE® has developed a new and unique SaaS-based business development optimization platform. We help businesses and public organizations to create higher level of competitiveness through cost transparency and identification of cost optimization opportunities. We focus on the business transactions (external spend) between companies, which is a monumental source to competitiveness as external spend typically represents 50-70% of company revenue. SKARDE®’s value proposition in short is enablement of additional 3-8% cost reductions while freeing up manual data processing processes typically equivalent of 1-2 FTEs.

Each day, we see how organizations lack access to high quality cost data and therefore navigate in blind or based on faulty data.

That is why, we have made it our mission to offer state of the art data foundation for «real time» cost transparency and automated expert insights. Our product has a worldwide relevance, typically aimed towards companies from 50 million EUR in revenue and up to the largest enterprises. With so many businesses benefitting from our help, our market is almost unlimited, and our potential is enormous.
