MANAGING A CURRENT EVENT

    The Message Board is a really useful feature to keep all your communication in one place. This tutorial talks you through how to use this feature.

  • Managing RFQ or Qualification Bids

    An important part of any sourcing event is receiving the bids from the market. This video talks you through this important step. You will either have a tab for RFQ bids, if you are running an RFQ, or you will see a tab for Qualification (“Qual.”) bids.

  • Progressing an RFQ to an Auction

    After an RFQ has completed, you have the ability to progress to an auction. This tutorial covers how to do this.

  • Managing an eAuction

    The final activity to any e-Sourcing event might well be the mystical e-Auction. We hope to de-mystify this process and show you that it really is quite simple, once you have done all the hard work of defining your requirements, chasing in the participant responses and checking everything looks valid. Once done, check out this video to show you how the e-Auction works.

    Everyone makes mistakes, which is why we include an Edit feature in our software. If you notice a missing document or you wish to add more participants or change a Lot, you can do so from here. This video talks you through the Edit Mode.

  • Managing Participants

    Once your event is out in the market, your participants will hopefully be progressing the various actions, be it uploading documents, completing questionnaires, submitting quotes or even taking part in an auction. This video talks you through the Participant tab where you can monitor their progress.

ADMIN

  • Managing your organisation with User Hierarchy

    The User Hierarchy is the perfect feature for adding your colleagues, clients, stakeholders, and giving them various permissions on your events. It is completely free to add people to view your activities, and fellow Hosts only need a licence to share edits rights. You can also give other Hosts the right to manage your Admin area, such as the Participant Database and Document Library. Watch this video to learn how to do all this.

PROGRESSING THROUGH AN EVENT

  • Navigating a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire

    Upon a successful invitation and acceptance to an Event, you will be able to work your way through the various areas within it. The first hurdle could be a pre-Qualification Questionnaire. This is a gateway that you need to pass to see the rest of the event, just to ensure that you do have a realistic chance of winning the event.

  • Navigating a normal questionnaire

    Upon a successful completion of a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, you may progress to the next step, which could be a normal questionnaire in the form of a survey of a Request for Information.

  • Uploading a bid

    This tutorial explains how you place bids in a Request for Quotation. The process for placing bids in an RFQ is the same as for Qualification bids and in an e-Auction itself, making the process much easier for you. Watch this video to learn how to place a bid.

  • Completing an RFQ

    This tutorial explains how to complete a Request for Quotation, understanding the difference of bidding on multiple lots and rejecting lots.

  • Placing bids in an advanced lot

    This tutorial explains how you place bids in an advanced lot. It shows how to place bids during a qualification bid process and RFQ directly into the system or via excel. It also shows how to bid at detail and lot level during an auction and how to upload detail after the auction has finished if you bid at lot level.

  • Using the Document tab

    After you have been let into the event you will be able to see the Document tab. This tab will let you download documents that have been uploaded by the host and here you can also upload your own documents.

  • Using the Message Board

    During the Event, you shall most likely wish to ask the Host questions about it. The Message Board is a fantastic way to go about this as everything is in one place for you, including all the previous questions you asked and the corresponding answers. This ensures that you receive all the same information as everyone else, as the Host can communicate to everyone in such an efficient manner. This tutorial explains how to use the Message Board service.

  • Taking part in a Ranked eAuction

    If you have taken part in an RFQ which has progressed to an e-Auction or your Qualification Bids have been successful then you shall most likely be invited to take part in the final activity; the Online Negotiation Event or e-Auction. During the e-Auction, you shall be given feedback as to the competitiveness of your bid in real time; something you don’t get during a traditional negotiation. We appreciate this can sometimes be a stressful situation, so to give yourselves the maximum preparation, please take a look through this tutorial in order to feel comfortable with what you are doing on the day.

  • Bidding in a Japanese eAuction

    This tutorial shows you how to bid in a Japanese auction. In a Japanese auction, you do not see your position, but you will need to either accept or decline the ‘current bid’ for each Lot within a given time limit. After which, if you have accepted the ‘current bid’ for a Lot, you will proceed to the next round where you will be asked the same question. The auction continues until you can no longer bid for any lot.

  • Using bid template

    This tutorial shows you how to bid using a bid template. A bid template allows you to use Excel to fill out your bids. It is useful on events with a large number of lots and can be used during Qualification or RFQ stage.
