Sourcing and supplier management (RFQ, quote comparison)

From supplier search to inquiry to quote comparison, structured instead of random.

When supplier search stays a matter of chance.

Many supplier decisions happen by chance instead of systematically.

  • Supplier search often relies on chance finds instead of systematic research
  • Inquiries are imprecise, so quotes are hard to compare
  • Terms, payment targets and minimum order quantities are negotiated late
  • Quality and compliance requirements are missing from the inquiry
  • Without a comparison matrix, the supplier decision stays opaque
