What Changes
Before and after the marketplace.
Procurement officers tell us the same story over and over. Here’s what their week looks like before they switch — and what changes after.
Before
Paper packets, faxed bids, scattered spreadsheets.
- Solicitations announced via fax, email, and certified mail — vendors miss deadlines because they didn’t see them in time
- Bid responses arrive in inconsistent formats — staff spend hours normalizing them before evaluation can begin
- MWBE participation tracked by hand in spreadsheets that nobody trusts and nobody updates
- Audit prep is a multi-week scramble of pulling paper files and rebuilding what happened from email threads
- Vendors call asking the same questions three times because there’s no central record of clarifications
