5 Reasons Why BidNet Direct Loves Helping Public Buying Professionals

It’s the season of love! At BidNet Direct, we love to provide cutting-edge e-procurement solutions for buyers and their vendors. Nothing makes us happier than delivering the e-sourcing tools that make the purchasing process seamless at every step. In this article we will elaborate on why we love helping buyers like you with the procurement process.

When we built the BidNet Direct e-procurement solution, one of our primary goals was to make the platform simple to use. This commitment continues to this day and aligns with our tagline: Sourcing. Made simple.

There are no complex technical requirements to use BidNet Direct, no software to download or long days of training. Our e-sourcing solution resides on a secure cloud-based platform, providing you with convenience and security for your purchasing process. Our e-sourcing tools can also be used by multiple users simultaneously, making it easier for you to collaborate within your team.

We’re passionate about providing you with the sourcing tools that meet your needs. BidNet Direct’s Electronic Bid Submission (EBS) tool allows you to accept bids online, distribute addenda and documents and answer questions all from a single location. Accepting bids online makes it simple to tabulate bids and communicate unofficial bid results automatically to vendors. You also gain access to a vast database of vendors, all of whom are registered with BidNet Direct. Eliminating paper saves time and streamlines the purchasing process.

We know it can be challenging to transition from an analog purchasing process to an e-sourcing solution. We also understand that world-class customer service is very important to our customers. That’s why our dedicated buyer support team is available Monday to Friday, 8AM to 8PM EST to answer your questions and assist with the transition. Each buying organization is assigned an account manager who will provide training on your new e-procurement system, and our support doesn’t stop there: if you need to make any changes to your purchasing process or are welcoming a new team member, give us call or send us an email and we’ll be happy to provide additional training.

Beyond Electronic Bid Submission, we offer many additional features and modules to further improve your purchasing process. BidNet Direct modules can be customized according to the needs and budget of your organization. Examples of modules include Contract Management, Bid Evaluation, Vendor Performance, and RFx Creation, which work seamlessly together to deliver the best cloud-based procurement experience available on the market.

E-sourcing solutions represent the most effective tools with which buying organizations can support their ongoing efforts to become more sustainable. With automated approval workflows, buyers using e-procurement can easily implement procurement rules related to the use of sustainable practices across the organization, to ensure that stakeholders are adhering to sustainability rules. Our solutions make staying sustainable and compliant easy for you and your team.

Transitioning from paper-based to digital procurement can seem overwhelming. But with BidNet Direct, the process is simple, straightforward – and fun. We are here to support you and your team as you simplify your purchasing process!
