Required documentation:

We understand that one of the main problems that buyers may have when evaluating bids is realizing that they are incomplete, that suppliers did not complete all the necessary information and this may cause one not to be considered for awards.This new functionality allows to create a simple and intuitive flow to request specific documents in each bid and then let the participating suppliers know in a clear way that these are very important within the information that their bid must have, and thus ensure that the bids that arrive are as complete as possible.

Clone bids:
To facilitate the creation and publication of bids, especially recurring ones, we have enabled the option to clone them.

This functionality will allow you to create a new bid with the same products, units of measure, quantities, requesting units, dispatch units and comments, making processes more efficient and reducing time and effort.

Announcements

Communication between buyers and suppliers within the procurement process is a key issue related to the success of tenders. For this reason, we complement the flow of questions and answers with the option for buyers to make announcements to all suppliers that are participating in the bidding process within the platform.

This flow will help to update suppliers on purchasing processes or clarify certain things so that they can bid in the best possible way.
