The BuyStep® Vision

The energy sourcing decision center

In energy, the real challenge isn't finding suppliers. It's being able to compare them objectively, qualify them seriously and decide quickly — without bias, without intermediaries, without commission.

The energy market isn't short on supply. It's short on clarity, comparability and direct access.

Result: slow, risky, often biased decisions.

Why BuyStep® exists

BuyStep® was designed to solve precisely this problem: give energy buyers structured control of their decisions, and give energy suppliers direct market access — without commission.

The real problem in the energy market isn't supply. It's access: too slow, too opaque, too locked down. BuyStep® brings clarity and decision-making power back where complexity has become the norm.

BuyStep® in one sentence

BuyStep® is the energy sourcing and networking platform designed to help professionals structure their decisions, compare the right partners and source without commission.

The problem we solve

Energy combines all the difficulties of modern sourcing:

  • • complex technologies
  • • heterogeneous suppliers
  • • hard-to-compare data
  • • omnipresent intermediaries

Result: slow, risky, often biased decisions.

Our answer:

  • • usable data,
  • • independent audit,
  • • direct access to the right energy suppliers.

What makes BuyStep® different

1. Zero commission

BuyStep® never takes a percentage from energy transactions. Buyers and suppliers negotiate directly.

2. A decision-making logic, not a transactional one

Audit 9.0, Reverse Step, algorithmic matching: everything is designed to help you choose, not to push volume.

BuyStep® is not a marketplace. It's a decision platform for energy sourcing.

How we attract energy buyers

We give them what the market doesn't:

  • • energy suppliers analyzed via Audit 9.0
  • • comparable and usable data
  • • active sourcing through Reverse Step
  • • free access, no commitment

Our algorithm processes each energy need, identifies the right players — even outside BuyStep® — and concretely accelerates decision-making.

Audit 9.0, concretely

An intelligent analysis matrix, designed for energy's specific requirements. It evaluates each supplier on:

  • • technologies
  • • certifications
  • • industrial processes
  • • data consistency
  • • CSR commitments

This is BuyStep®'s foundation of trust. And it's free for energy buyers.

The Reverse Step

The buyer publishes their energy need. The system automatically identifies relevant suppliers, qualifies them and solicits them.

It's active sourcing, structured, without unnecessary prospecting and without wasted time.

It's active sourcing, structured, without unnecessary prospecting and without wasted time.

Why energy suppliers join BuyStep®

Because they keep their margin.

  • • free entry
  • • targeted visibility
  • • qualified leads
  • • direct access to decision-makers

And above all: no commission on their energy sales.

A real energy sourcing case study

Emily, a buyer in London, was looking for an integrated solar energy production solution with facade integration, with precise technical and budgetary constraints.

Thanks to the Reverse Step (RFQ) and our network, three qualified energy suppliers were identified immediately.

She was able to compare reliable offers, negotiate directly and secure her decision.

Result: less time, less risk, more reliability.

Where BuyStep® stands today

We are in the deployment phase across Europe and Asia. To support this expansion, we are recruiting Affiliate Partners capable of carrying the BuyStep® positioning to energy buyers and suppliers, with structured and credible messaging.

Energy is, by nature, an international market. The current geopolitical context strengthens the need for reliable, comparable and independent sourcing solutions.

BuyStep® is part of this dynamic, providing a platform designed to secure and accelerate decisions for energy professionals.
