Intelligent Messaging

Once an order is processed through the Exchange Forum the seller automatically receives a Purchase Order for further processing

 

 

Purchasing, Order transmission and processing 

 

 

 

 

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.
