Our reverse auction as a managed service puts you in full control.
First, our team of sourcing experts will create an online RFI where we will help you qualify potential vendors by asking them to respond your particular products, specifications and service levels. After we receive their responses, you will be able to score them and make your selection as to which vendors you would like to invite to bid for your business. Once you have made your vendor selections we will then upload your RFP, set up the event schedule and invite them bid on your business. We will provide online training for those that qualified. Each vendor will then begin biding against each other ending with the lowest price and terms they would be willing to take for the product or service.
However, price isn’t the only consideration in a reverse auction. Reverse auctions are used by buyers to find vendors with whom to work. Buyers can compare price, experience, quality and reputation in making a final award.
