A Reverse Auction Platform for a US Bank

Business Needs

Challenge

One way to reduce costs and improve efficiency was to build a financial services supply chain application.

Our client, a US bank, was spending huge amounts on the procurement of external goods and services. The bank deals with a broad range of products and services, each with its specific requirements and regulations, resulting in a complex procurement process. It encompasses research into supplier markets, advertising and electronic submission of tenders, electronic ordering, internet sourcing via third parties, communication, contract management, and integration of procurement with the financial and inventory systems.

 

We support. We improve.

Solution

We started by conducting a discovery phase to understand the client’s needs and specific requirements. Together with the key stakeholders, we identified project milestones and determined the features of the future reverse auction platform.

Then, our designers started working on a user-friendly design for the portal and, once the design was approved by the client, we got down to developing the platform.

 

We managed to build a high-performing solution that accurately met our client’s requirements. It includes the following features and functionalities:

  • assessing the spend category and determining suitability for reverse auction
  • validating supplier list
  • additional supplier sourcing if necessary
  • real-time dynamic pricing
  • creating bid strategies
  • supplier training and consultation for the online sourcing event
  • real-time chat and messaging between the buyers and suppliers during the live auction
  • overall orchestration of the bidding process, including initial setup and management of the entire procurement process
  • post-bid analysis and reporting

Results

The reverse auction platform we built for the bank allows the institution to save substantial costs. Moreover, it helps our client to save significant time that would otherwise be spent on collecting bids from various suppliers manually. While making the procurement process less time- and cost intensive was the primary goal of the project, our solution helps improve the financial services supply chain process in some other ways as well. Firstly, the bank greatly benefits from the opportunity to explore actual market prices and discover new suppliers. Secondly, our reverse auction platform facilitates a more transparent auction, allowing suppliers to compete in real time. In addition, the client benefits from indirect cost savings that result from process automation enabled by the web-based reverse auction platform.
