FlexQ2S^™ (“Quote to Specification”) is ideal for clients moving away from in-house production & moving towards contracting with offshore suppliers. The sourcing effort required in this case requires different functionality.

_________Instead of annual or multi-year contract negotiations across the marketplace of suppliers, there is
___________now a large volume of quote requests that are sent to a known audience of trustworthy suppliers
___________on a very frequent basis.

_________Unlike traditional sourcing, the item specifications may not be known beforehand and can be
___________provided by the suppliers as part of their proposal. From these proposals a specification document
___________must then be generated for accurate ordering and production, which can also change over time.

FlexQ2S^™ is also a collaborative, Internet-based platform that provides significant benefits such as:

_________-Establishes a structured & consistent process that prevents incomplete quotes & specifications

_________-Improves the communication & clarity of quote requests & specification changes

_________-Allows visibility to historical item use, cost & vendors

_________-Streamlines processes & eliminates duplicate work due to re-keying of information

_________-Reduces costly mistakes due to changes in specifications

_________-All important data is in one place; ONE VERSION OF THE TRUTH
