The ME Comparative Map is complete to make your routine more agile and automated. Check out some highlights!
A shopping area is no longer just responsible for acquisitions and today has a starring role in the business of companies. In this scenario, the technology becomes a great ally, as it promotes process automation operational and frees up professionals for strategic activities that bring results.
One of the steps that requires a lot of attention from buyers is evaluation of proposals received from suppliers. After all, R$1 saved on purchases means R$1 in profit for the company. However, we know that it is important to evaluate different aspects, which go beyond price, before making the decision to choose a supplier.
Therefore, with the mission of helping professional buyers, Mercado Eletrônico developed the e-procurement platform Comparative Map, with the aim of making the negotiation process more agile and intelligent. The tool provides the equalization of quotations received and facilitates the analysis and selection of a specific supplier.
On a single screen, the Comparative Map automatically matches all the information from the proposals. The user can compare information such as price, shipping, delivery, among other data, and the tool already indicates the best proposal and calculates the saving.
It is also possible to use dynamic filters to make more advanced and specific comparisons and then make quick and assertive decisions.
Discover the new features of the Comparative Map
1. Two viewing modes
- Synthetic mode: synthetic mode allows for the horizontal comparison of all suppliers who responded to the quote.
It is possible to customize the map, enabling or disabling fields, or even ordering them according to the user's preferences.
The display of fields in the synthetic mode can be configured through the field comparison.
The platform maintains the settings in case of export to Excel (.xls).
- Card mode: card mode allows expansion, better visualization and comparison of taxes responded to in suppliers' proposals:
2. User personalization
- Filters: the comparative map has filters that make it easier to view by net value, shipping value, shipping type and payment conditions:
3. Consolidation of quote values
Here, the user has access to consolidated quote data: “Best 1st Offer”, “Estimated Total” of the requests associated with the quote, “Historical Price” of the last order for each item, “Best Package” and “Best Price”:
4. Automated savings calculation
The saving calculation was developed to facilitate saving comparison by item or the entire quote. This way, you can compare the current negotiated value with the bases of your quote: Estimated Value, 1st Offer Value or Historical Value:
5. Other news
All functions from the previous map have been migrated to this new version, including: process generation, selection of the best packages or price and currency conversion.
Therefore, you can join the updated map and enjoy all the new features. See below an example of some functions, such as: exporting to Excel (in XLS format), creating a ShortList and sending a counterproposal.
We also include key information to make important decision-making information more visible, such as including the item's delivery location or the supplier's place of origin.
The system also allows the VAT validation is made at the time of field selection and, therefore, identifies whether VAT is valid or not for the selected item.
