TENDER MANAGEMENT SOFWARE

Tender management sofware

A tender management system, either manual or electronic, is required to ensure an effective and efficient process for:
a) the buyer wishing to source products or services and
b) the seller wishing to bid to supply a company.

Managing tenders is very time consuming exercise and a lot of paper work is involved. Manual systems have some merit but are prone to errors and cannot deal with growing volumes of tenders to be managed by both buyers and sellers.
