iTWO Bundling Compresses Cosuno Pricing

This dynamic turns procurement from a separate software budget into an add on sale inside a bigger ERP contract. When a contractor already runs iTWO for estimating, cost control, and execution, adding TenderConnect can look like a cheaper, lower risk extension because buyers stay in the same workflow and Schneider Electric can support aggressive packaging, services, and enterprise terms that a focused point solution like Cosuno cannot easily match.

• iTWO already sits upstream of subcontractor buying decisions. Estimators build project budgets there, project teams track costs there, and TenderConnect lets them solicit bids without exporting data into a separate tool. That reduces the pain that normally justifies premium pricing for specialist procurement software.

• Schneider Electric changes the sales motion. After acquiring RIB in 2020 for about EUR 1.5B, Schneider positioned RIB as part of a broader building life cycle software push, which gives iTWO room to bundle software, implementation, and corporate procurement terms across large contractor accounts.

• Cosuno still has leverage where its network is the product. Its marketplace is built around large pools of subcontractors, with company materials citing more than 80,000 firms in Germany and over 250,000 qualified contractors in its network, which matters most when a GC needs fresh bidder discovery rather than tighter ERP standardization.

The next battleground is whether procurement is bought for workflow convenience or for network reach. In iTWO heavy enterprises, bundled modules will keep compressing standalone pricing. Cosuno’s path is to make its bidder network and tender response liquidity strong enough that even ERP centric contractors accept a second system to access better subcontractor supply.
