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

OBJECTIVE

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

ACTIONS

  • Definition of the map of categories and needs of the team in charge.
  • Definition of new processes for all categories and cases.
  • Detect possible optimizations.
Developments and paremetrization

OBJECTIVE

Set up, program and customize the platform.

ACTIONS

  • Functional parameterization of the Platform.
  • Identified developments.
  • Phase I adjustments identified.
Validation testing

OBJECTIVE

Ensure correct operation.

ACTIONS

  • Continuous itbid and client tests (PM client and key users) for all cases and users:
    • Supplier.
    • Buyer.
    • Technician.
  • Identify errors and readjust settings and developments.
Training

OBJECTIVE

Train users and ensure correct implementation.

ACTIONS

  • Training sessions for users and key users of the platform.
  • Follow-up meetings with the client’s PM to ensure correct operation and degree of use of the platform.
  • Identify errors and improvements to be developed.
Go-Live and monitoring

OBJECTIVE

Materialize the transformation of the company by ensuring the correct implementation.

ACTIONS

  • Follow-up meetings with the client’s PM to ensure correct operation and degree of use of the platform.
  • Identify errors and improvements to be developed.

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:

Modular project management with short-term results based on the technological and scalability possibilities of each company.
Define a realistic scope to achieve an agile and progressive implementation.
Real monitoring of the effectiveness of the model, action plans and implement improvements, we work ESG Indicators

Technological simplicity + Scalability + Modularity = Agile implementation and continuous improvement plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

If you have more questions, send us an email here and we will answer them right away.
