Pick A Side

I'm A Buyer

I’m a procurement professional that conducts strategic sourcing initiatives like crafting RFPs, inviting suppliers to bid, evaluating and awarding responses, and tracking the associated contract. I am open to seeing a better way to conduct my sourcing initiatives.

I'm A Supplier

I’m a business that sells goods or services to other organizations. One way I earn business is by responding to RFPs and submitting proposals. I want to register to be an approved vendor and receive notifications about relevant solicitations.

SAVE TIME WITH TEMPLATES

Templates allow your organization to standardize verbiage, requirements, layout, and other information. Procurement leaders reduce the creation time, ensure adherence to organization policies, and improve consistency throughout your sourcing projects by leveraging templates.

Improve communication & Collaboration

Our solutions simplify supply chain communication activities. Potential suppliers are automatically notified by commodity code about relevant bid opportunities. Contract administrators and key stakeholders receive reminder notices at user-defined intervals of coming contract and insurance certificate expirations.

Reduce Sourcing Errors

Our Sourcing Suite has built-in error checking to ensure that all bids and RFPs are completed without errors. Configurable fields allow you to easily establish response expectations (text, drop-down, percentage, etc.) normalizing information for an apples-to-apples comparison. Bid responses are scanned for possible errors with instructions on how to correct the error, thus improving supplier performance.

Track vendor engagement

Gain full visibility into your suppliers’ activities throughout your procurement process with our real time vendor tracking features. Monitor suppliers as they open your emails, make progress on their RFP response, or submit their proposal. Dive deeper with our Audit History functionality that provides a detailed timeline of the users’ actions.

Make the best strategic sourcing decision

Once unsealed, solicitation information is automatically grouped and sorted for you. When the lowest price is the deciding factor, you will be able to clearly determine the winning bid in a matter of seconds. For more complex proposals, where best value is the deciding factor, you will be able to quickly determine what suppliers are best qualified to provide you with the goods and services you need.

Gain Insight into your sourcing data

Being a data-driven solution, our solution is packed with actionable analytics. Leveraging data analytics helps ensure that you are making the best sourcing decisions possible and provides confidence in the choices you make. The sourcing data is neatly compiled into easy-to-read reports that can quickly be exported and distributed to key stakeholders.

Since day one we have understood the negative impact of charging vendors unnecessary fees to participate in solicitations. Doing so can significantly limits competition by introducing pointless barriers to supplier engagement. That is why we are proud of and committed to offering these services without charging vendors.
