For completing a reverse bidding session efficiently, it is required to be constantly monitored and necessary actions to be taken by the bid coordinator. The coordinator needs to get an administrative view of live bid submission by various vendors. A reverse bidding session may require various instructions to be provided to the participating vendors. Also, in the case of very high rate of bid submissions, the bid end time or session time may need to be extended.
The reverse bid facility in WRENCH SmartProject transforms the reverse bidding process by providing complete transparency and control, and enhanced security features that can prevent the occurrence of fraudulent bids.
