To
but any item posted for sale all the buyer needs to do is click on the “Purchase” button while browsing the
catalogue screens or enter a product code and desired quantity in the bulk data entry
screens.
Once
an order has been placed, we will transmit the order information to the
relevant supplier via whatever method the supplier organization desires. The preferred method of receiving orders is kept as part of the
organization profile data and can be an email message, or fax. The
important point to note here is that the supplier is actively notified of the
order, they do not need to log on to in order to check if they have
received any orders.
Once
the supplier has responded to the purchase order request, an appropriate message is sent back to the
buyer.

Request
for Quotation/Negotiation
|
|
The system incorporates the facility for a buyer organization to
request a quotation for a product (or products) from a supplier.
Correspondingly, the supplier organizations receive the RFQs via their nominated
message format (email, or fax) and have a series of online web forms
that allows them to supply a quotation back to the requesting organization. The
buyer can make counter offers, and the negotiation process continues until either party declines to proceed or the buyer accepts the
quote. |
