How does SourceYourInterior.com work?
Information Phase (IP)
The Information Phase is the first phase in your purchasing process and it is for free. Requirements such as product, price bandwidth, delivery time and location, guarantee and continuation of supply result in a ranking of suppliers.You can print a short profile of selected suppliers providing basic company information. For a more in-depth analysis of potential suppliers, you would need to upgrade to the Qualification Phase, the next logical step in your purchasing process.
Qualification Phase (QP)
In this phase, a much more refined and elaborate inventory of your requirements is at the base of arriving at a short-list of potential furnishing suppliers. Included in this phase are subjects such as product certification, service requirements, claim response and solution, distribution model, carbon footprint of transportation to your delivery sites, Corporate Social Responsibility. The QP includes full supplier profiles and comparison possibilities between individual suppliers. In this phase, you qualify potential suppliers for the final bidding in the e-Auction.
e-Auction Phase (e-AP)
In this phase, you set up a reversed e-auction with the suppliers of your choice. The results of the Qualification Phase are your guide on the choice of suppliers. The e-auction can be executed on price only or on a maximum of 6 different criteria such as product price, price of services, guarantee, continuation of supply, payment terms. You assign the relative importance to each criterion and organise the set-up, invitation and e-auction procedure and process in this module.
Mock-up Phase (MP)
SourceYourInterior.com comes with a full set-up, invitation and assessment module for the execution of a professional and easy-to-manage Mock-up Phase. This phase can be executed either after the Qualification Phase, or after the e-Auction Phase. You decide which suppliers to invite for participation in the Mock-up Phase with the results of your QP or e-AP as your guide. The mock-up assessment can be separate or integrated with the supplier ranking of the QP or e-AP.
Now you can know better
We firmly believe in knowing better. Knowing better will lead to better choices. To lasting solutions.
In facilities and furniture, a lot of money, time and energy is wasted in the process of selling and buying. We all know better than doing a cattle call and having several suppliers prepare tender responses, lengthy documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and mock-ups. Mostly, it will all be thrown away after the process.
We all know better than not taking responsibility for the quality of the RFP, bid, tender or any other name the purchasing process is given. And for specifically excluding payment for the investment the bidders have to make in the process.
And will it have led to the right choice? Didn’t you exactly end up with the bottom of the barrel because of your tender process?
On this website you will find loads of information on SourceYour and SourceYourInterior.com. In addition, it includes functioning Information (IP), Qualification (QP) and e-Auction Phases (e-AP). The Mock-up Phase (MP) will be added soon.
