Go to Market and obtain market pricing comparison from your supplier base for your specified collateral. You can also place orders.

This can be from predefined formats in QuickQuote or from existing fixed collateral or editable collateral templates on the Order module.

Alternatively, new formats and component specifications can be created (in Enquiries?) through a wizard system to create new requests for quotations that do not have any contract pricing agreements.

The wizard creation of component specifications allow consistent reporting to ensure that vendors are remaining competitive and there is transparency of pricing.

Prices can be split by any predefined components such as for printing being shown as production cost, materials and delivery.

This allows the campaign manager to determine if one vendor is more competitive due to better utilisation of material or more efficient production.

Contract pricing for paper can be incorporated to ensure that vendors are using consistent predefined paper contract pricing with a third party paper supplier.

A whole range of reports can be generated to compare products, vendors, efficiencies and paper usage.
