basic information
The interactive electronic quotation is a solution that supports the decision-making of the best procurement strategy for materials that cannot be evaluated solely based on price, such as direct materials, auxiliary materials, and logistics. 1. It accepts a variety of proposals from suppliers, including not only specification quotes but also alternative products, discount proposals based on transaction conditions and volumes, and estimates for both bulk orders and finely set procurement units, while automatically modeling these proposals. 2. In the evaluation of quotes and proposals, it easily reflects your company's intentions and constraints as scenarios, such as when favoring existing suppliers or considering supplier switching costs, and simulates all combinations of suppliers and items under each scenario, providing the combination that minimizes total costs. 3. Procurement personnel can adopt the best procurement scenario by considering the risks of each scenario and the final negotiation partners for each actual item, along with the planned contract amounts. With these features, your company can avoid narrowing down options by solidifying specifications and procurement strategies in advance, and instead, clarify suppliers' capabilities and improvement proposals for specifications and transaction conditions, allowing for the consideration of all alternatives and the determination of the best procurement strategy.

Applications/Examples of results
Interactive electronic quotations allow users to easily change evaluation criteria such as specification details, items for quotation, and quality assessment conditions. This makes it an optimal procurement support tool for cases where there are two to three or more candidate suppliers, regardless of whether it involves direct materials, logistics, indirect materials, or services, and where consideration of multiple procurement scenarios is necessary. Internationally, it is used for reviewing basic contracts for raw materials and components of mass-produced goods that undergo hundreds or thousands of simultaneous price revisions, as well as for selecting a variety of logistics partners, starting from maritime, truck, and air freight to the reconstruction of logistics networks using 3PL. Domestically, it has been utilized for the procurement of cardboard for product shipments and cans, which are core materials for beverage manufacturers, as well as for the global procurement of film raw materials and plastic bags for consumer goods manufacturers. It has achieved significant cost reductions while meeting complex procurement goals that involve quality and maintaining relationships with existing suppliers.
