Supplier Testimonials

"The TradingPartners paltform was easy to use. Allowing participants to test the tool prior to the eAuction was helpful. As a cerified Minority Business Enterprise, it is helpful to use any otol to compete for business. TradingPartners allows buisness introductions that may normally be more difficult, if not impossilbe to obtain.

The Supply Managers were understanding, supportive and easy to contact. One of the primary advantages was the ability to compete in a transparent environment.We would welcome the opportunity to participate with future TradingPartners eAuctions."

"The staff at TradingPartners were a blessing to work with.  They responded in a timely manner to our questions and were willing to walk us through the process from start to finish.  They made every effort to ensure that we were comfortable with their software and were ready to participate in the bid.

The TradingPartners eAuction site was not only easy to use but also captured all of the relevant information in a simple format. Since being invited to participate in a bid that TradingPartners was managing, we have been in close contact and hope to gain additional clients through our mutual client base.

We would absolutely participate again. We had a fantastic experience and could not have asked for a better partner through the bid process."

"TradingPartners helped bring a new potential opportunity to Gexpro. You were very thorough, professional, and supportive throughout the bid process. The site is straight forward and easy to use. We would participate again because TradingPartners was able to match up a new account with Gexpro's core competencies."

"Your site is very easy to navigate through; once you are logged in, it’s intuitive that you know where to go for each aspect of the auction (training, live event etc).

"We certainly gained access to new clients and the tender process is a lot faster than a traditional method.  This is great for us winning new clients and great for the buyer who can complete the process and enjoy the benefits much faster. it’s a very easy route for us to tender for a customer’s business; a process that could take between 6 months to a year is a lot faster."

"The eAuction site was simple to use and easy to navigate. We did gain access to a client that we had been dealing with regionally but we were able to expand to a national level with them through TradingPartners.

The support was really good.  I was almost always able to reach someone by phone and they were very helpful. I would love to participate again because it opens us up to clients that we might not other wise be in contact with."

The bidding platform is efficient and the procedure is standardized. With TradingPartners, we gain access to new clients and save time."

"The system is very user friendly. Whenever we had a question prior to the
bid or during the online bid, the support team was always there to answer
my concerns and questions in a professional and timely manner. I look at
TradingPartners as the leader in online bidding. We look forward to continued
participation on future bids through TradingPartners."

"We felt the TradingPartners process was well organized and the training session was valuable. Working with TradingPartners allowed us the opportunity to work on expanding our business with a new customer. Support was excellent and all were available when needed."

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my views that as a supplier I felt that the whole process has been handled extremely well.  I have had experience with other on-line tender organizations who only seem interested in driving down the end cost to the benefit of the customer and not the end relationship between the supplier and client. The web-site was easy to use and I felt the practice run helped with my understanding.”

“I thought the software was excellent, probably the best we’ve seen and worked with, especially the facility to communicate whilst the auction is going on. It felt like a real auction."

“Regarding the auction for car leasing - I personally felt the system to be one of the best I have seen for on-line procurement. The formula used to calculate the whole-life cost was very impressive, together with the expected accident repair cost, taking into consideration the labour rate, and hours invoiced, equally the managing out cost of the present vehicle fleet."

“We deeply appreciated the effectiveness of the eAuction as a modern sourcing method, and experienced the benefits of the fair, open and quick process. Upon finishing the eAuction, KONE were very pleased with our offering. We will definitely participate in eAuctions again in the future.”
