Give your purchasing team the tools they need to succeed

We strive to design solutions that help procurement teams maximize their results. Packed with time saving and compliance features, IWT provides you with the tools you need to take full control of your sourcing activities.

A better, faster way to facilitate your sourcing initiatives

Supplier Management

The Supplier Registration module provides an online “self-service” registration wizard for your suppliers and comprehensive supplier management tools. The registration feature allows interested suppliers the ability to enter company and user profile information, select commodity codes, business classifications, and apply for diversity classification.

Electronic Bidding

The integrated Electronic Bidding solution provides professional purchasing agents the ability to create and issue bid requests online. The application can be configured to issue formal and informal bid events, and includes advanced data gathering features supporting complex Request for Proposals and construction bids. Suppliers receive email notification of opportunities and simply login to submit their electronic bid response. The application generates printable versions of each bid request to accommodate suppliers without internet access. Purchasing professionals can evaluate bid responses individually and/or leverage the application’s multiple bid tabulation reports which are generated automatically.

Bid Evaluation Scoring

The Bid Evaluation and Scoring module delivers a cloud-based solution for evaluating and scoring solicitations. Sourcing professionals establish the event’s scoring criteria including method, values, ranges, and weights. Evaluators are invited by email to review the selected bids or proposals and enter their subjective scores. Tracking and reporting features indicate evaluation progress and ultimately reveal the best ranked bid or proposal. Messaging features enhance evaluations efforts providing clarification, instruction, and reminders.

Contract Management

The Contract Management module automates the procedural tasks and efforts related to contract agreements and supplier relations. This includes storage of contract details such as term, documents, contacts, bonding requirements, and insurance certificates. When integrated with IWT’s Sourcing application a contract’s bid association is automatically retained. Email notification reminders can be customized for each contract, allowing the responsible user to set their desired lead time.

Reverse Auctions

The Reverse Auction module provides a dynamic pricing environment where suppliers compete for business in real time. Easy-to-use event creation and management tools offer one of the industry’s only “do-it-yourself” auction platforms. During the event, a variety of current pricing and competitive information can be displayed to participating suppliers encouraging competition. Procurement professionals monitor supplier activity in real-time, watching as suppliers compete and update their pricing throughout the event. A dynamic graph is displayed, revealing the event’s bidding activity.

Single Sign-On

IWT’s procurement suite has an available Single Sign-On (SSO) module that allows a customer’s end users to authenticate to our software using their agency identity provider (e.g. Microsoft Active Directory). This provides greater security and convenience for your end users.

Gain Insight into your sourcing data

Being a data-driven solution, our solution is packed with actionable analytics. Leveraging data helps ensure that you are making the best sourcing decision possible and allows you to have 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 vendor fees to participate in solicitations. Doing so can significantly limit competition by introducing unnecessary barriers to suppliers. That is why we are proud of and committed to offering these services without charging vendors.
