Doubts? Let's solve them:
Can alerts be generated for the supplier to renew documents?
This is one of the biggest advantages of working with our platform: EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.
A purchasing platform, by definition, allows you to manage and balance the workload derived from your purchasing processes.
Managing the workload involves identifying:
- what to do,
- who should do it and
- when it should be done.
It is precisely the process of parameterization of the platform that serves to adapt it perfectly to your needs.
It allows you to guarantee the maintenance of all the tasks related to processes, among them, those related to the maintenance of your suppliers’ document upload.
Is it the portal for my industry?
Depends.
A portal is a technological platform that allows companies to interact and collaborate with their suppliers more effectively. This system centralizes information and provides a direct and secure communication channel between both parties.
A portal is and must be a tool with a parameterization potential, capable of adapting to the operational needs of the processes of the Purchasing function in any sector.
It will be your management needs, derived from the nature of your processes and company identity, that will determine whether or not a portal is right for your organization.
Will I need to install the platform?
No. Our platform is a 100% cloud-based software so no installation is required. You will be able to access itbid from any web browser. Having the software in the cloud avoids the need for you to hire a team to maintain the servers that host the software and the databases. Apart from the intrinsic benefits of this type of software in terms of security protocols and scalability, it also allows you to have automatic updates, so you will always have the latest version.
Does the platform integrate with other software?
The itbid platform can be integrated with other software, for example, with an ERP through APIs that allow the information to be transferred in either direction, to generate synergies and simplify purchasing processes.
Is the itbid portal multi-language?
Yes, as it is a configurable platform, it can be translated into multiple languages, which we can configure for you during implementation. Currently, we have 12 languages: Spanish (Spain, Colombia, Peru), English, Italian, Catalan, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Polish, Russian, Greek, Chinese, French, Czech.
Even if you want to add a language that we don’t have, we can configure it. We will only ask you to provide the files and documents in that language.
Can I request only some modules?
Of course. The itbid platform is modular, customizable and scalable.
Implement the different modules little by little depending on the urgency or importance of the needs or problems to be solved by the purchasing department.
This allows for a progressive implementation that will allow you to adapt and get the most out of the different functionalities. Once a module is implemented, you can continue with the other modules or include new areas to the system.
