Who We Are

Tacto is an AI-driven procurement platform. Our mission is to strengthen Europe’s industrial “Mittelstand” by future proofing their supply chains. We streamline how companies buy, negotiate and manage procurement – we help them optimize their by far largest cost driver to stay competitive in the long-run. Trusted by hundreds of companies, Tacto transforms procurement into a strategic advantage.

Based in Munich, our team of builders, entrepreneurs and industry experts is creating technology that truly matters. We’re backed by some of the best investors in the world including Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, Cherry Ventures, Visionaries Club, UVC Partners as well as the founders of Personio, GetYourGuide, Helsing & Forto.

Why It Matters

The industrial Mittelstand – 90,000+ small and medium-sized enterprises – forms Europe’s economic backbone, driving 25% of Germany’s GDP and providing over 30% of jobs. These hidden champions manufacture the physical world around us, from the machines that build our cities to the medical devices that save lives.

Today, a world of growing uncertainty and disruption is threatening their position. To stay competitive, the Mittelstand must unlock new efficiencies – and procurement is their largest, strategic lever to do so.

At Tacto, we deliver tangible cost savings and strategic resilience at a time when it’s needed most. Our work extends beyond technology – it’s about protecting the foundation of Europe’s economy for generations to come.

What We Offer
  • An environment where we enable you to have an impact and where we focus on outcomes, not time-tracking

  • A vibrant in-office culture in a beautiful office (at least 3 days/week)

  • 26 + 4 vacation days per year (4 fixed “company rest days”)

  • Wellpass membership and access to Jobrad, for your health

  • Additional voluntary pension contribution and KITA subsidy, for you and your family’s future

  • Competitive salary & meaningful equity stake, so you are invested in our success

What We Do

Europe’s Industrial Mittelstand is under relentless pressure to adapt in a world of constant disruption.

As the backbone of the European economy, the Industrial Mittelstand contributes a quarter of the continent’s GDP and secures tens of millions of jobs. These companies manufacture the physical world around us — from the table you sit at, to the snacks you eat, to the construction machinery that builds our cities. This is what Europe is known for.

Yet, the key to their long-term success is often hidden: the supply chain. Behind every physical product lies a network of hundreds of suppliers, thousands of production-critical materials, and processes that account for over 50% of a company's costs and emissions. It’s a system of massive complexity — and yet, many still rely on Excel, manual processes, and outdated ERP systems.

That’s where Tacto comes in. With our intelligent SRM platform, we empower industrial mid-caps to transform procurement into a strategic strength. We automate manual tasks end-to-end, so teams can focus on what matters: strategic decisions. Powered by Tacto Intelligence, our AI analyzes data, uncovers risks and savings, and delivers actionable insights — enabling cost reductions without compromising on time or quality.
