AI-supported matching of experts and suppliers

At the heart of ensun's founding idea was a problem that surprises no one in B2B: the tedious search for the right experts.

Complex challenges are part of everyday business for companies, yet finding suitable providers remains time-consuming and unstructured. ensun was to change this process fundamentally and create a platform that intelligently connects problems and solutions.

The aim was precisely defined from the start: identify the best experts worldwide within seconds, data-driven and scalable.

Anyone looking for a suitable technology partner today runs into one obstacle above all: a lack of transparency.

On the provider side there are millions of companies, plus thousands of technologies and a barely manageable number of interfaces. Traditional routes such as personal networks or manual research help up to a point, but then quickly reach their limits.

For companies, this means a great deal of effort. Decisions drag on, and in the end the result often falls short of what would actually be possible.

At the centre of the project was a particularly demanding task: developing a platform that genuinely masters this enormous complexity.

Data from millions of providers had to be structured, brought into a comparable form and kept analysable at the same time. In parallel, the application was to be so simple that users without technical knowledge would quickly arrive at relevant results.

So the task was to combine two extremes: the maximum amount of data on one side, maximum ease of use on the other.

Werkdigital developed the ensun platform and made it market-ready in just five months.

At the heart of the solution is an AI-supported matching algorithm that analyses company enquiries and automatically connects them with suitable experts. Users enter their problem, and the platform delivers concrete suggestions within a very short time.

This is based on an extensive database of more than 10 million technology providers across more than 29,000 technologies, which is continuously analysed and cross-referenced.

The result is a system that reduces complex scouting processes to a few efficient steps.

Since ensun became available, access to external expertise has changed noticeably.

Companies now find the right partners much faster and more precisely, and they make their decisions on a sounder basis. Decision processes are shorter, and the quality of the results rises visibly.

The names on the client list show that this approach works in practice: REWE, Schwarz Gruppe, Südzucker AG, Knorr-Bremse and HSBC use the platform regularly. At the same time, ensun handles millions of search queries and continues to develop dynamically.

Werkdigital has since handed over further development and maintenance of the platform to ensun's own development team. Since then, a team of around 15 people has been continuously optimising the solution and adapting it to new requirements.

With its original idea, ensun has established itself as a powerful scouting platform and is well on its way to playing a central role in the European market.
