Run online auctions more transparently

Negotiate prices as well as all of your additional requirements online with SupplyOn – transparently and with minimal effort for everyone involved. In addition to price, you can predefine various criteria for the awarding process which are important to you, such as delivery reliability, product quality or concept strength. This ensures you really select the supplier with the best bid from a holistic perspective. The entire, automated awarding process is transparently documented, traceable and tamper-proof.

To achieve best results, it is key to select the appropriate auction rule and awarding method. Depending on the material group being negotiated and the auction objectives you are striving towards, you can choose between different types of online auctions. All bids by your suppliers are binding. Your purchasers can follow the bids in real-time and compare and evaluate them after the auction ends.
