Transforming Procurement in the GCC Through Intelligence, Not Search.
Maple and Sand is a B2B procurement intelligence platform that enables organizations across the GCC to identify qualified, compliant, and cost-effective suppliers, while giving global vendors access to verified, high-intent market opportunities.
Compressing multi-week vendor sourcing cycles down to roughly two weeks.
Every vendor backed by real-time solvency audits and localization scores.
From construction and energy to healthcare, education, and government procurement.
Procurement Ecosystems in the GCC Remain Structurally Inefficient
Organizations across the region continue to face three persistent challenges that drive up cost, risk, and time-to-source — while global suppliers struggle to reach them.
Opaque Supplier Visibility
Buyers struggle to source qualified suppliers beyond closed circles — and capable suppliers stay invisible to the buyers who need them — as verified capabilities remain buried under unindexed PDF certificates and registries.
Fragmented Pricing Data
Estimating materials and services in volatile markets is highly challenging. Without historic benchmark indexing, bids routinely vary by up to 40% for the exact same specifications.
Absence of Standardized Risk
Standard vendor due diligence is highly manual and subjective. Financial solvency metrics, legal disputes, and operational health indices are scattered across disconnected agencies.
At the same time, global suppliers lack structured access to demand signals, qualification standards, and decision-makers across the region — leaving credible capacity disconnected from the buyers who need it most.
Our Approach: Decision-Intelligence
Maple and Sand addresses these inefficiencies by replacing fragmented discovery with structured procurement intelligence.
We integrate data aggregation, analytics, and supplier evaluation into a single unified intelligence layer — turning raw registry filings, compliance certificates, customs feeds, and financial audits into standardized, decision-ready signals.
The result supports faster, more informed, and lower-risk sourcing decisions for buyers, and clearer, qualified demand for suppliers — all from the same verified data foundation.
