The Problem
Currently, buyers must prepare bid packages, enter the information into a procurement system, fax or mail the bid packages to selected suppliers and then wait for suppliers to submit their bids. Once the bids are submitted, buyers must enter the information into their system , analyze all bids received, select the desired bid, and issue the award.
The typical life span for an RFQ/RFP is 14-27 days.
The Solution
AssetPoint has teamed with leading companies across several industries to address bidding process issues, streamline and standardize the bid management process and reduce buyer resource requirements by creating TabSource.
The TabSource Bid Management Portal is designed to:
- Streamline the bid management process for buyers assimilating bid materials
- Eliminate buyer time spent entering supplier bid information (3-5 days each)
- Ensure uniformity of bid information relayed to all suppliers
- Shift the burden of data entry and bid accuracy to suppliers
- Email RFQ availability for bid, supplier questions and answers, late bid notices and award/loss notifications
- Allow suppliers to upload their bids and attached documents
- Allow suppliers to enter base cost and ancillary costs such as freight, surcharges, etc.
- Provide one Login ID for suppliers who support multiple locations
- Automate closure of RFQ bidding after a specified bid period and allow an RFQ to be re-bid
