WHY BIDRESOLVE
Sourcing optimization for the quotes you already have.
Use your supplier quotes to decide what to order, from whom and in what quantities. BidResolve combines AI-assisted document reading, buyer-accepted terms, constrained allocation and a separate feasibility and cost check, with no mandatory ERP integration.
What is sourcing optimization?
Sourcing optimization selects suppliers and the quantities to award by combining costs and constraints. A cheaper line item can introduce an extra fee or lose a bundle discount: the comparison needs to cover complete purchasing plans.
BidResolve starts after you receive the quotes. AI prepares terms from the documents; after your review and acceptance, a solver searches for an allocation and a separate calculation checks its cost and feasibility.
From documents to a decision in four steps
Read quotes and requirements
Upload supplier quotes and buyer requirements as PDF, TXT, CSV or XLSX/Excel. AI proposes source-linked terms; an exact quotation does not guarantee that everything has been interpreted correctly.
Review and accept the terms
The buyer reviews items, quantities, units, discounts, fees, minimums, capacities and deadlines, then corrects and accepts a specific revision. An unknown or unsupported term does not become permission to calculate.
Calculate the supplier allocation
The solver searches for a low-cost allocation within accepted offers and constraints. The result specifies quantities by supplier. Optimal and feasible statuses remain distinct.
Recalculate and explain the result
A separate program recalculates feasibility against the modeled terms and the cost. Exports connect the allocation, amounts, terms and their sources. This check proves neither optimality nor exhaustive quote coverage.
Which purchasing decisions fit?
For small purchasing teams in SMEs and consultancies comparing several items from already-qualified suppliers. Start with quotes in hand, known quantities and discounts, fees or minimums that affect the overall cost. Keep your existing sourcing process and ordering tools.
Technical qualification of items and suppliers must be established outside the calculation. BidResolve does not write seller quotations, respond to sales tenders or replace end-to-end purchase order management.
A plan you can present
Supplier quantities, detailed costs and source terms stay linked to the accepted version. Export the plan to review it with your purchasing or finance team, then place orders through your usual tools.
Supplier award scenarios to compare
- Consolidate an order to earn a bundle discount, or split it to use lower unit prices.
- Account for fixed fees, minimum order quantities and order multiples for each item.
- Meet accepted capacities and delivery deadlines, or retain a second supplier with a minimum allocation.
- Compare a changed assumption in a separate scenario without presenting it as a confirmed quote condition.
The calculation covers supported, accepted terms in one currency per consultation. It does not establish whether two items are technically equivalent.
Quote comparison, sourcing optimization or a procurement suite?
A comparison spreadsheet can be enough for a few quotes with simple terms. When discounts, fees and constraints depend on several lines at once, their combinations also need evaluation. BidResolve connects that analysis to the quote clauses and the proposed plan.
An e-sourcing suite may cover supplier discovery, RFQ invitations, auctions and negotiation. BidResolve focuses on decisions using quotes you already have. You then place orders through your usual tools.
See the comparison checklist and example documentsCompare quotes, calculate a scenario or optimize an allocation?
Comparing makes offers easier to read. Calculating a scenario prices a specified choice. Optimizing searches for a combination of quantities and suppliers that satisfies the selected conditions. These three tasks complement one another.
| Your requirements | Useful approach | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| A few comparable quotes, few interacting terms | A spreadsheet and a total-cost comparison may be enough. | Same quantity, unit, currency and scope; fees and discounts included. |
| A specific allocation or a term to change | Calculate a scenario and compare it with the reference plan. | Distinguish assumptions from confirmed commitments. A priced scenario is not necessarily the best allocation. |
| Interacting discounts, capacities and minimums | Allocation optimization considers quantities together. A spreadsheet can also optimize when its model and solver are correctly configured. | Modelable terms, solver status and cost recalculation; quote quality and interpretation still need review. |
| Issue purchase orders, manage inventory and receipts | Evaluate purchasing execution software or an ERP suited to those operations. | BidResolve prepares an allocation decision; it does not automatically place orders or forecast demand. |
