VDA - Leveraging collective intelligence for Procurement
At Tolson we are working in a revolutionary way of consulting: Progress Together! Knowledge is directly shared between peers without the filter of a solution provider or a consultant.
- VDA is a unique initiative that relies on the collective intelligence of more than 30 large companies.
- The mission they have in common is boosting their indirect procurement categories thanks to best practice sharing and innovative digital solution discovery.

SUPPLIER INNOVATION
Supplier innovation is more than just an event, but a way of working! We strongly believe that the role of Purchasing in innovation is to bring together the Business and Suppliers in a structured way.
TOLSON assists you to develop and deploy an end-to-end innovation system that onboards the business, management, suppliers and buyers from the identification of innovation needs up to the follow-up of innovation projects.
SUSTAINABILITY
A company that does not take in to consideration Sustainability, has no future.
This is why TOLSON created The Sustainable Business Community (SBC), a community that gathers professionals working on Sustainability and CSR to progress together faster on common challenges.
SBC is more than a Club; our ambition is to address all your challenges in a very structured and organized manner through peer-to-peer discussions that produce concrete and actionable deliverables.
