Supplier procurement portal

The same engineering group runs ten or more recurring suppliers per project. Each project repeated the same procurement cycle from scratch.

The problem

Requests for quotation went out by email as spreadsheets. Prices came back in different formats, and comparisons were rebuilt by hand each time.

What was built

  • Bill-of-materials upload with per-line requirements
  • Separate supplier logins, scoped to that supplier's lines only
  • Automatic checks, such as panel capacity against the project target
  • Live comparison across suppliers and purchase-order generation
  • Delivery tracking with bounce and spam flags on every send
