Analytica Procurement Solution is a powerful procurement platform designed to streamline the procurement process, featuring four key modules: Reverse Auction, Request for Quotations (RFQ) Board, Tender Board, and a Logistics Solution (coming soon).
The Reverse Auction module is a stand-alone system, accessible to users with accounts and subscriptions. Companies can subscribe as either suppliers or buyers. Key features include:
- Buyers can host auctions with start dates and deadlines.
- Suppliers can submit bids for lots/products in the auction, including at least four pictures of the items.
- The winning bid is the one with the lowest price.
- Suppliers can bid only on lots in their region, indicating local delivery.
- Users can save lots they wish to bid for.
- Live and expired auctions are separated.
The RFQ Board showcases requests for quotations by individuals and companies. These requests are added by the super admin, and every request must be listed by Analytica from an admin perspective.
The Tender Board displays tenders listed by Analytica, and they become unlisted as soon as the tender period expires. These tenders are listed by Analytica from an admin perspective.
