New Auction Parameter Adjustment Options and Integration with Vchasno E-Document Management Service
Auction Parameter Adjustment
When creating a tender, users now have the option to choose one of three approaches for carrier bids:
- Any Bid Allowed This mode is ideal if you want to gather as many proposals from carriers as possible, even if your initial price does not meet their expectations. The lack of restrictions on bids allows carriers to offer their own terms, and you can then select the best option. This approach provides maximum flexibility in collecting offers and can stimulate competition among carriers.
- Bids Not Higher Than the Initial Price This option is useful when you set the maximum amount you are willing to pay upfront. Carriers cannot bid higher than your initial price, helping you avoid unreasonable offers. This allows you to focus on tenders that fit your budget and prevent cost overruns.
- Bids Not Higher Than the Lowest Bid If you are organizing a reverse auction, this mode will be helpful. It allows carriers to compete to offer the lowest price. This approach is ideal for finding the most cost-effective offers.
Integration with Vchasno E-Document Management Service
Another new feature is the integration with the popular e-document management service Vchasno. This greatly simplifies the process of drafting and signing documents in the context of tenders and transportation. Now users can sign key documents—such as contracts with carriers, transportation requests, invoices, and work completion acts—with just a few clicks. All documents are automatically synced with your personal account, where you can track their statuses in real-time and have access to a complete interaction history. Integration with the Vchasno service not only increases work efficiency but also reduces the amount of paperwork, allowing for quicker and more convenient document management. Additionally, you gain extra security through electronic signatures, ensuring the legal validity of the documents.
