Platform implementation
Streamline processes, facilitate collaboration between departments and suppliers. Keep up to date with legal and technological changes.
Implementation is a phase that cannot interfere in the operation of the company and we work to ensure that this is the case.
The support we provide in the digital transformation of companies is one of the added values most highlighted by our clients.
And we can do it thanks to our ACTIVE TRANSFORMATION methodology, a robust process with these 5 phases:
Functional definition

Survey to functionally define the behavior of the platform and processes to be implemented.
ACTIONS

Go-Live and monitoring

Beyond the implementation, you will notice the involvement of your assigned itbid Project Manager in support and follow-up.
You have technical professionals ready to answer any questions, or to adapt the platform if the company’s needs change.
We even offer specific support and training to suppliers using it for the first time.
Services
Companies vary in their level of maturity and in the resources of their teams.
Some are looking for new strategies and ways of negotiation to generate more opportunities.
Occasionally, it is necessary to reinforce training or follow-up on strategic projects.
The itbid platform is the best support for these strategic advances.
Since the implementation of the platform, there are clients who have required further support services to accelerate the transformation of their departments.
We develop them so that they can fearlessly launch into their next challenge.

itbid's ESG methodology
Implementing ESG management is not a passing fad and we want to take advantage of it to generate executable and credible plans and, therefore, continuous improvement for companies.
It requires preparation and an implementation plan, as it is a transversal management, where the initial ESG maturity level of each company and the support of the entire organization is very important.
To make this a reality, we have developed our ESG module of the platform, creating the itbid Methodology in Sustainable Procurement for:
Technological simplicity + Scalability + Modularity = Agile implementation and continuous improvement plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the platform include a help and support service for users and suppliers?
Yes, for both. Each customer is assigned a Project Manager, as account manager for any questions. All technical issues are channeled through the Project Manager and then referred to a support department. In addition, there is a section of quick guides for suppliers and customers and a support email.
How long does it take to implement a portal?
It can be operational in less than 1 month. However, the time will depend on how mature and defined your current processes and procedures are. In practice, if the necessary information is clearly defined and available, setting up the platform is a relatively quick task, so we can realistically expect to have a supplier portal up and running for your company within six to eight weeks.
How would software help me to digitize my purchasing processes?
This technological tool will allow you to manage processes, indicating at the right time what should be done and who should do it to ensure its implementation, control and traceability.
This will free up HR time from the supervision and control of repetitive, monotonous and low-value tasks for planning and strategic actions.
