Design and build web solution to speed up B2B sourcing processes

Vtelligence, a Belgium management consulting firm which specialized in supply chain improvements, Information Technology and ERP looked for SaaS sourcing solutions to improve their clients efficiency. They looked for a trusted software partner to design and develop an online platform which can add significant value for their customers.

As B2B users expect to instantly get the desired results when searching for products the aim of the platform was to optimize the process of sourcing for quotations from different companies and comparing prices on different sources.

The e-procurement solution should allow suppliers to easily compare products and prices, get tailored offers, reliable delivery, and make fast decisions.

collaboration

The whole project started with a series of workshops where we were engaged in discussing and designing a solution that would provide a required set of tools. A series of clickable wireframes that simulated a flow of steps that the user would follow to achieve a certain outcome were created.

With such an input material as a specification we were able to start our work using an iterative approach and continuing to draw value from periodic user feedback. We decided to use Scrum with Scrum Master at Selleo side and a client acting as a Product Owner.

scope

The scope of the project included having tools for effective gathering, consolidating and managing tendering processes. As we were building this platform from scratch we also needed to design application architecture and business logic behind it.

Gather, consolidate and manage tendering processes

A Belgium IT consultancy contracted Selleo to develop the system as a one-sided platform for closed tenders. The SourceRooms solution enables to gather, consolidate and manage all tender-related contents and artefacts together in one location. Thus requirements, qualifications and feedback are generated and processed and the associated communications are conducted within a single platform.

All the parties involved can collaborate in a structured way to execute the tendering process and the system supports the sourcing company to make good sourcing decisions in an effective and efficient way.

The aim of this e-sourcing service is to support the execution of the business processes in a way that allows users to achieve tangible benefits in terms of time savings and more value extracted from a simplified and optimized supplier selection process.
