Benefits of E-sourcing:

Transparency:

- Fair comparison between different proposals
Time Savings:
- The Standardized Process enables faster evaluation of submitted bids in both e-Auctions and e-RFX events
Easy-to-use Platform:
- Secure, user-friendly web-based platform with simple submission formats
- Easily accessible from anywhere
- Possibility for suppliers to update their bids until the submission deadline
- 24/5 (Monday – Friday) technical support
Different parts of E-sourcing:
Our eSourcing Platform supports all stages of the tender process which can include Request For Information (RFI), Request For Proposal (RFP), Request For Quotation (RFQ) as well as eAuctions. Both qualitative and pricing parameters are considered for the evaluation of suppliers’ offers.
