Short Summary

Established in 1996, a Serbian food processor offers roasted and fried peanuts and packaged rice, beans, chickpeas, raisins and sugar. It seeks commercial agreements with distributors, importers and wholesalers for ongoing supply to retail and foodservice channels. The company combines its own peanut processing and food packing with international sourcing and wholesale experience.

Full Description

VOĆE PROMET d.o.o. is based in Vranje, Serbia. Established in 1996, the company combines food processing and packing with wholesale and cross-border food trade. It introduced dry food processing in 2004 and distributes products across southern, central and western Serbia.
The main offer for international distribution comprises roasted and fried peanuts and packaged rice, beans, chickpeas, raisins and granulated sugar. Peanut processing and food packing are carried out by the company. It imports raw peanuts from international origins, including China, India and Argentina. The rice range includes Kočani and Egyptian rice.
The company seeks commercial agreements with distributors, importers and wholesalers to establish recurring distribution of these processed and packaged foods. Partners would purchase agreed products for resale through retail or foodservice channels, manage importation and local distribution and provide feedback on demand. The Serbian company would coordinate the agreed assortment, processing, packing and orders. Product specifications, pack formats, order quantities, deliveries, territory and labelling requirements would be settled before cooperation.
The company also has a fresh produce business, including banana importing and ripening in dedicated chambers. Fresh produce cooperation may be discussed with partners that have appropriate storage, transport and distribution facilities.

Advantages and Innovations

1. Trading experience: established in 1996, the company has approximately 30 years of food-trading experience as
of 2026. This background gives distributors a counterparty familiar with food sourcing, wholesale orders and
regional distribution.
2. Processing experience: dry food processing began in 2004, representing approximately 22 years of experience
as of 2026. Peanuts are processed and packed by the company, allowing distributors to coordinate product and
packing requirements directly with the processor.
3. International trading scope: the company's published market list names 16 countries outside Serbia, including
Italy, Poland, Greece, China, India and Argentina. The figure relates to its wider food-trading business and provides
context for its experience with cross-border commercial relations.
4. Processing and packing within the same company: roasted and fried peanuts are offered alongside packaged
rice, beans, chickpeas, raisins and sugar. Distributors supplying both snacks and staple foods can assess
complementary product lines with the same commercial counterparty and coordinate the proposed assortment
through one business.
5. Sourcing experience: the published product information identifies China, India and Argentina among the origins of
imported raw peanuts, and Kočani and Egypt for rice. Partners can discuss the available product ranges,
raw-material origins and packing requirements directly with the company when planning their distribution offer.

Advantages and Innovations

The requester has operated since 2014 and combines economic, business and engineering consultancy. This gives the software supplier access to practitioner feedback on market comparisons, cost assumptions and document requirements within one consulting workflow. The 1-employee staffing figure for 2025 supports a staged, initially 1-user implementation with scope for additional authorised users.
The requested benefit is a connected process covering 3 tasks: market analysis, price scenarios and tender document preparation. Supporting 2 Serbian scripts and reusing an approved company data set would reduce repeated transcription and make the evidence behind recommendations easier to review. Actual time savings will be measured against a manual baseline during the pilot.
A proposed pilot using 10 completed procurement cases would test extraction, pricing explanations and document completion. These numbers define the proposed scope and evaluation method; they do not represent measured software performance or guaranteed savings.

Technical Specification or Expertise Sought

The supplier should provide demonstrable software with artificial intelligence functions, configurable for public procurement bid support in Serbia. The requested initial scope is 1 internal user and 3 connected workflows. Pricing for additional users should be stated separately.
Market analysis should search and compare lawfully accessible tender and award records and authorised client data. Each comparison should show its source, date, currency, quantities and relevant technical differences. Data access must use permitted imports or supported interfaces; the supplier should identify available data coverage and any access or integration limits.
Pricing support should generate at least 3 consultant-adjustable scenarios using comparable awards, the bidder's costs, margin assumptions and applicable price components. Each scenario should show the calculation basis, exclusions and uncertainty. Public award values must be distinguished from estimated tender values. The bidder retains responsibility for its independent offer price.
Document processing should accept PDF, DOCX and XLSX files, with optical character recognition for scanned PDF pages. It should handle Serbian Latin and Cyrillic scripts, extract mandatory conditions, evaluation criteria, deadlines, forms and evidence requirements, and map each item to a document, page or clause. It should prefill documents only from approved input data, flag missing information and contradictions, and export editable DOCX/XLSX files plus review-ready PDF files. Submission remains with the bidder after human approval.
The proposed pilot should cover 10 completed procurement cases selected jointly and anonymised where necessary. Consultant-reviewed checklists should serve as the reference. The evaluation should record requirement recall and precision, populated-field errors, unresolved warnings and consultant time per case against the manual baseline. A proposed acceptance condition is source and assumption traceability for 100% of price recommendations and source links for 100% of extracted requirements. Accuracy and time-saving thresholds should be agreed before testing, after assessing the sample and document quality. These are proposed evaluation conditions, not achieved results.
The solution should separate client workspaces, control access by role, retain an audit trail and permit data export and deletion. The supplier should explain hosting, backup, retention and whether client documents are used for model training; such use requires explicit prior authorisation. The offer should include a demonstration, deployment options, onboarding, maintenance, update arrangements, support response times and itemised licence and implementation costs.

Expected Role of a Partner

The partner should be a foreign software developer or authorised supplier with demonstrable artificial intelligence functions for procurement analytics, pricing support and document processing. Under a commercial agreement, the partner is expected to provide the licence or subscription, configure the solution for Serbian procurement procedures and documents, train the initial user, and maintain the software and agreed integrations.
The partner should demonstrate the 3 requested workflows, explain source coverage and limitations, and propose a pilot based on 10 completed procurement cases. It should agree the evaluation method with the requester, document results and resolve identified gaps before deployment. The requester would contribute domain knowledge, authorised sample documents and consultant review; the supplier would provide technical configuration and support.
Preference is given to companies from the Western Balkans that can work with Serbian Latin and Cyrillic documents and demonstrate familiarity with regional procurement practices. Suppliers from other countries are also welcome if they can support the Serbian requirements. Responses should state available functions, required adaptations, data access conditions, delivery milestones, deployment options, licence terms and itemised costs.

Full Description

Company profile

A Serbian artificial intelligence and software engineering company, founded in 2023 as a university spin-off, develops and integrates AI-based solutions and business process automation systems. Based in Vojvodina, the company has a four-engineer team led by a founder with a PhD in computer science focused on artificial intelligence.

Services offered

AI-based document processing
The company develops solutions to extract and structure information from invoices, delivery notes, contracts, requests for quotation and technical documents. The solutions use optical character recognition (OCR), document layout and table analysis, and large language models to transfer extracted information into templates or business systems. One implementation for a food producer in Vojvodina has processed more than 3,000 supplier invoices.

Workflow automation and system integration
The company connects webshops, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, advertising platforms and internal business applications. Its work may involve tools such as n8n, Python and TypeScript.

AI agents and assistants
The company develops assistants that retrieve information from an organisation's own documents and regulations, as well as agents for research, content preparation and document handling. A legal-information chatbot for a public authority was delivered through a business partner.

Custom software and cloud solutions
The company develops, integrates and maintains custom software. Its experience includes long-term development work for a European electricity-market platform operator.

Additional services
Other activities include conversion tracking, consent-compliant server-side measurement, corporate AI training and AI literacy workshops.

Proposed international cooperation

The company seeks medium- to long-term cooperation with IT companies, digital agencies and system integrators that need additional AI engineering and automation capacity for their own client projects.

It can act as a subcontractor, providing implementation and software development expertise under the partner's brand, subject to agreed confidentiality arrangements and clearly defined responsibilities. Cooperation may include document-processing systems, integration of AI agents into existing software, workflow automation, custom development and maintenance.

The company is also interested in contributing AI implementation and integration expertise to research and innovation consortia.

Potential cooperation with organisations seeking to automate internal business processes may begin with a clearly defined proof of concept, with the scope, deliverables and pricing agreed in advance.

The company is particularly interested in establishing partnerships in Hungary, German-speaking countries, the Benelux region, the Nordic countries and Croatia. Its working languages include Hungarian, Serbian and English.
