/Private Marketplace
Broadcast to your curated vendor pool. Not the whole internet.
A private marketplace is the vendors you've already vetted, grouped, tagged, and ready to receive work. Send a Work Request to a supplier panel in one click. Vendors see it, respond, ask questions, get awarded.
What this replaces.
“We need to send this RFQ to twelve vendors.”
Mail merge time.
“Did everyone we invited actually see the brief?”
Anyone's guess.
“Who's interested? Who's quiet?”
Chase three, ignore the rest.
“Where do new vendors find us?”
Word of mouth, mostly.
Private Marketplace, end to end.
Build the pool
Add vendors to your partner network. Group them into supplier panels, Cloud, Integration, Local, Strategic, whatever fits.
Publish a Work Request
Send it to a panel in one click, or pick individual vendors. They get a token-based link.
Track engagement
See who opened the brief, who downloaded documents, who asked a question, who's gone quiet.
Vendors respond
Vendors submit interest, a quote, and notes. All visible side-by-side for comparison.
Award and move on
Mark the awarded vendor. Capture the accepted quote. The losers get a personal note, not a bulk rejection.
