eProcurement

The benefits of eProcurement have been proven over years of implementation and study. The problem has traditionally been the cost of these solutions. Central Bidding can implement your custom programmed eProcurement solution at a fraction of the cost of the typical pricing models with benefits such as:

• Eliminate the possibility of errors in transcribing the bid information
• Automate the data entry for your bids and eliminate the time your employees have to re-enter the bid information
• Central Bidding will automate the process of populating the bid information directly from your server to the electronic bid form.
• You simply select the bid template and enter your unique bid identification information and all of the bid information pre-populates the necessary fields for the vendors.

Ease of Use
