  • 58%of closed events give up a further saving
  • 8%average saving on the bids that moved
  • 31%of events end with a different leader than round one

Get more out of every RFx bidder

When your RFx closes, a digital worker picks up the bids and negotiates a final offer with every shortlisted supplier.
  • Works from your existing sourcing tool, Coupa Sourcing, SAP Ariba or wherever the RFx ran
  • Negotiates price, payment terms and lead time with each supplier, over several rounds
  • Brings the buyer the final offers side by side, and the buyer awards
Illustration: an awarded sourcing event, with the Post-Sourcing Negotiation Agent's results agreed after the award: a lower price, Net 60 instead of Net 30, a volume rebate and the renewal clause aligned

The best bid is rarely the best price

The leading bid becomes the contract price because nobody had time to negotiate. Now a digital worker negotiates with every bidder, and the leader has to earn it.
  • In 31% of events the round-one leader is not the best final offer
  • Every RFx gets a second round, not only the ones a buyer could carry
  • Final offers back in days, the award is never held up
Illustration: the Post-Sourcing Negotiation Agent congratulates the awarded supplier and offers three ways to finalise, each trading price against payment terms, and the supplier chooses Net 60

Your event, your shortlist, your award

You decide who it talks to, how hard it pushes and when it starts. The agent does the negotiating, you keep the decisions.
  • You pick the bidders, set the targets and press go
  • Your suppliers never see each other's bids, only how competitive their own offer is
  • You make the award, with the full transcript of every negotiation in front of you
Illustration: the Post-Sourcing Negotiation Agent policy panel, with when it fires, which suppliers it talks to, what it may negotiate and the buyer sign-off before the contract, and the audit record behind
