By giving potential users the opportunity to run demo auctions in their ‘sandpit’ mode, the company have been able to attract new customers offering them a try before you buy type deal. This feature enables users to understand the easy to use software and how it can save their company time and money before spending a penny.

Currently, Market Dojo’s tools are already being utilised by businesses across 30 different industry sectors, proving the flexibility that these tools can offer to procurement professionals globally.
By providing their 39,400 users with the tools to help with eSourcing, supplier on-boarding, opportunity analysis and category spend insight for almost one decade, whilst demonstrating impressive growth, Market Dojo have attracted a large Sovereign Wealth Fund investment.
