ProcurePort RFQ/Auction Modules
Great customer focused small company.
Pros
Scalable, seems flexible. Excel upload is awesome. Seems to be easy to train and support. Tons of cloud storage.
Cons
Contract is not part of package, will have to complete off line and up load to storage. The part about being self supported is a little scary.

ProcurePort is absolutely superior to the Ariba platform for ease of setup and use.

Pros
Runs fast, and is easy to setup and publish auctions. Customer support is excellent. Really like the ease of adding participants to events. Adding new suppliers is also very easy.
Cons
Now that I have learned how to use it correctly, there really isn't much to dislike about it. The software is so intuitive that I rushed in and published events, before really understanding the best way to utilize all the features. After our rep's help, I can now setup and run better auctions.

I did not rate 5 stars on the "Ease of Use" and "Features and Functionality" because I have used other tools in the past (Emptoris and Ariba), and compared to other tools, some of the features are missing. For example, it would be nice to have a "base cost" in addition to the "Start price". Overall Ease of use is just okay. It would be nice to have a menu bar on the left side of the screen to quickly visit the section you need, etc. In terms of support from rep, I gave it a 5 stars since he was always available when we needed his help and provided excellent support.
Pros
Ability to show RANK Only which is a good feature.
Cons
Doesn't tell me the # of bids that were placed by supplier. Also, it doesn't alert me that a new bid is placed. The message button is all the way at the top so I have to scroll up to use this feature and miss the auction activity. It would be nice to have all of this in one screen.

Hello Judy,
Thank you for the review and the candid feedback on the solution functionality. At ProcurePort, we constantly seek customer feedback to further improve our product usability.
Our team is in the process of releasing a new update in April which should resolve some of the features requested by you.
Regarding providing a bid alert, the system has an audible alarm as well as a change in color of the newly placed bid so that it is easily recognizable. Our support desk should be able to assist you with demonstrating this feature.
Thank you again for the time you took to review our product and we look forward to your continued support.

The Procureport program has met all my needs and demands.
Additionally, my suppliers (and potential suppliers), who have participated in live on-line bids, have all applauded the ease and simplicity of the program. Many stating that it is not as cumbersome as Ariba's version. Given the ease of use, the cost, and most importantly the help from Procureport customer service and technicians (if needed), my company made the right choice with this program.
Pros
Ease of use, Results, Customer Service
Cons
After bid reports are limited when using the Basic edition

I have been using ProcurePort to conduct reverse auctions. I found the software easy to use compared to other reverse auction platforms that I have used. All of the configuration options that I wanted were included in the standard platform. In addition, customer support was extremely responsive and easy to work with.
Pros
Ease of use.

We used e-auction program that the ProcurePort made for us.
It was easy and efficient for our needs. What I liked the most was their strong support on training vendors and bespoke service they provided.
I highly recommend the ProcurePort to someone who is considering any bespoke online auction programs.
Pros
Bespoke service, they were very supportive.
Cons
Maybe price? They charge each time for using the program. But they are open to negotiate.
Advice to Others
If you have to choose vendors depening on the best price, it seems to be one of the best options for you. This program fits for the price driven item.

Implemented this for our inhouse RFPs and Auctions. Our portal was up within 24 hours. ProcurePort support team contacted us and provided comprehensive training on how to use the software. It was extremely easy to navigate.
We ran a rather complex RFP followed by a live Reverse auction. The setup was easy and the ProcurePort Support team guided us through the various steps, since it was our first event.
The vendors needed very mininmal training so was a smooth experience.
Highly recommend.
