The Request for Proposal or Request for Bid process is becoming more important than ever, in a number of industries. This process, when not run efficiently, can represent significant risk to a business.
What goes into the risk of handling Quotations? Ask yourself:
- Have your bidding specifications not made it into the right hands?
- Have you ever supplied a product with the wrong origination code?
- Can you seamlessly access the quote once awarded or are your quotes buried deep on someone’s desk or in the recesses of their computer?
- Have you ever supplied the vendor with the wrong information because someone typed the incorrect product number when asking for a RFQ from the vendor?
