Full audit trail
Every RFQ, bid, message, and award decision is recorded. Export-ready for project documentation and compliance.
Run public, private or invite-only RFQs
Full control over who sees your procurement requirements. Run an open RFQ to discover new suppliers, a private RFQ for confidential projects, or an invite-only RFQ to shortlist specific companies you want to compete for the work.
Compare price, lead time and compliance in one dashboard
Every bid arrives in a structured format. For each line item you see the supplier name, unit price, total cost, lead time in days, and any compliance notes or certifications. Sort by price, filter by lead time, and accept or reject individual bids with one click.
Accepted suppliers receive instant notification. Rejected suppliers receive a professional response. The entire award process is documented automatically.
