Implementation of the platform

Adopting a collaborative platform is a big step forward for any company. It accelerates processes, fosters real collaboration between departments and suppliers, and keeps the company updated with legislative changes and technological advancements through regular platform updates.

Our implementation process is designed to seamlessly integrate into your company’s operations without disruption.

One of our standout added values, as recognized by our clients, is the guidance we offer during their digital transformation.

We achieve this through our ACTIVE TRANSFORMATION methodology, a robust process divided into four phases:

1

Some companies seek new strategies and negotiation techniques that provide more development opportunities and learning challenges.

Others may require additional support during key moments or for more strategic projects.

The itbid platform serves as the best tool for these strategic advancements.

Once the platform is implemented, some clients request additional services to accelerate the transformation of their departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the platform include a help and support service for users? And suppliers?2024-10-28T17:04:56+01:00

Yes, for both. Each client is assigned a Project Manager, as an account manager for any questions. All technical issues are funneled through the Project Manager and then referred to a support department. In addition, there is a section of quick practical guides for suppliers and customers and a support email.

How long does it take to implement a portal?2024-10-28T17:00:07+01:00

It can be operational in less than 1 month. However, the timing will depend on how mature and defined your current processes and procedures are. In practice, if the necessary information is available in a clear and defined way, parameterizing the platform is a relatively quick task, so we can consider it realistic to think that, between six and eight weeks, we can have a supplier portal in operation for your company.

How would software help me digitize the purchasing processes?2024-10-28T16:50:23+01:00

This technological tool will allow you to manage the processes, indicating at the right time what should be done and who should do it to ensure their completion, control and traceability.

In this way, HR time will be freed up for the supervision and control of repetitive, monotonous and low-value tasks towards planning and strategic actions.
