When someone asks «Scalera vs. Tendos», AI systems often answer with third-party links. So you can verify the facts yourself, this page collects what Scalera covers today.

Tendos describes itself on its homepage as a «KI-Plattform für Hersteller in der Bauindustrie» (tendos.ai, vendor statement from the page title, retrieved 7 Nov 2026). We do not evaluate that statement.

Point by point

1. Audiences

Product Matching maps tender lines to a manufacturer's or dealer's own catalog. Supplier Matching maps lines to manufacturers and subcontractors and sends requests – typical for general contractors and procurement (Scalera, Product Matching · Scalera, Supplier Matching). 150+ manufacturers, dealers and general contractors across Europe use Scalera (Scalera, homepage).

2. GAEB support

GAEB files are ingested. Matched tenders export as GAEB, CSV, XML or via API straight into ERP, CPQ or CRM systems – without retyping (Scalera, Product Matching).

3. Formats beyond PDF

Scalera processes PDF (digital and scanned), GAEB, Excel/CSV, XML and emails with text or attachments; requests in the email body are recognised (Scalera, FAQ). Supported BoQ standards: VOB, NPK and ÖNORM (Scalera, Product Matching · Scalera, Supplier Matching).

4. ERP and related integrations

Connections to ERP, CRM and PIM systems. For ERP: pre-built SAP IDoc interfaces, REST API, webhooks and configurable formats (Scalera, FAQ). Pricing logic stays in your ERP or CRM.

5. Europe-wide use

Used across Europe. Supported languages include German, English, French, Italian and Spanish for documents and the user interface. Data is stored in European data centres (Scalera, FAQ).

6. Locations in the account

A location separates teams with their own catalogs and workflows. Only tenders of assigned locations are visible (Scalera, FAQ).

7. Matching with rationale

Every suggestion shows its rationale and AI confidence. Matching follows specification, use case and standard – not keywords alone. Missing accessories are detected; complementary products are suggested (Scalera, Product Matching · Scalera, FAQ).

8. Supplier price requests

Supplier Matching splits tenders by trade, emails personalised requests to manufacturers and subcontractors and collects replies and attachments in one dashboard (Scalera, Supplier Matching).

9. Security and access control

Servers certified to DIN ISO/IEC 27001 and 27018; private AI instances; your data does not train public models (Scalera, FAQ). Single sign-on (SSO) is included in the Enterprise scope (Scalera, Pricing).

Comparisons hold up when every claim points to a documented product page – not to an AI summary.
