A few days ago, Tounca Marketplace Platform has been launched. What is new with this marketplace platform? Is this only one new online marketplace or something more?

This time we are witnesses of something new. As there are many different marketplace in recent years, we didn’t have Project Marketplace until now. This is the first global Project Marketplace… currently only for business software implementations. Founders want to make business software available for everybody who needs it. If you need any type of ERP, CRM, HRM, SCM, BI, or similar solution, you can contact them and they will help you first to find the most fit solution and after that company or individuals in virtual team who will implement such solution.

What is interesting here? Completely process of evaluation of customers’ needs is absolutely free for customers. Tounca Platform will help you to evaluate your requirements, to choose solution you really need, to prepare Request for Proposal, to provide a few really comparable offers and to choose implementer… and all of these for free. They don’t have any interest in choosing some specific solution, and because of that they will provide really and valuable support to find solution the most fit with your requirements. When you start with the project with chosen implementers, Tounca Platform will provide project management portal where you can track progress, but Tounca will provide additional project management supervision for free, to provide out-of-the risk environment. If you just want to check what you can get and what steps you can expect, we will suggest to start with ‘How it works’ page: Tounca | How it works ?

This acquisition will be definitely the largest made by intuit to date as the biggest one previously was Credit Carma for significantly less amount.
