RFQ Distribution & Collection Support

RFQ Distribution & Collection Support

Distribute RFQs to vendors and provide end-to-end support for follow-up, collection, normalization, and comparison table creation

Expected Challenges

In procuring items such as medical consumables, the task of distributing RFQs to qualified suppliers and collecting and comparing responses occurs regularly in large volumes. The workload scales multiplicatively with the number of items and suppliers, placing a significant burden on procurement staff.

Integration with Existing Workflows

Submit tender conditions (item list, quantities, delivery dates, quality requirements) to the system to initiate the RFQ distribution and aggregation process. This streamlines the existing procurement flow of 'RFQ creation → distribution → collection → comparison' as-is.

Leveraging KDG Knowledge

Procurement-related knowledge is accumulated in KDG and put to use, including supplier product lines, price ranges, delivery track records, quality ratings, reliability assessments, product catalog information, and historical price trend patterns.

Expected Outcomes

Automate the entire process from RFQ distribution to comparison table creation, helping reduce procurement staff workload.
