> What is an eSourcing event and what are its main benefits?

In eSourcing, you do most of the sourcing process digitally. This makes the process much more efficient and transparent. You use digital tools to consolidate proposals, quotes, and bids from various suppliers and system make the time-consuming comparison for you.

The main benefits of eSourcing:

  • Increased efficiency
    eSourcing helps you find, contact and evaluate a large number of suppliers. You can also keep the competition going throughout the process without additional manual labour. All in all, it can result in serious cost savings. 
  • Increased procurement value add
    Digital tools help reduce the manual labour of the procurement team. This way they’ll have more time for refining their other tasks, e.g. bringing more spend under management and increase internal customer satisfaction.
  • Transparency
    eSourcing typically uses a central portal that is an open playground for buyers and suppliers. It shows professionalism and trust of fair game. Suppliers can keep an eye on the key information, e.g. deadlines, statuses, etc.
  • Compliance
    eSourcing tools consolidate all relevant documentation, making it easier to track back or necessarily audit in the future.

> How does ProcurementFlow sourcing process work?

ProcurementFlow.com allows you to hold both regular sourcing events with eRFI and eSourcing events with eRFP / eRFQ.

This covers an estimated 85% of sourcing needs across industries.

It’s most effective for companies who don’t just manufacture standardised products but have a manufactured-to-order (MTO) or engineered-to-order (ETO) type of production, where the final design is not definitive from the beginning. A quick eRFI allows to scan through the market and get quick responses from multiple suppliers. After suppliers have confirmed their interest and willingness to participate, it's easy to move forward with an eSourcing event and send out invitations to participate either on an eRFP or eRFQ.

The biggest benefit for using eRFP and eRFQ compared to traditional email queries is automated offers comparison - this saves time for buyers.
