Savings and Customer Support
We have been partners with Proactis for several years and we anticipate continuing the relationship for several more years.
PROSWhat we really like about Proactis is the combination of event software and the customer support. The folks at Proactis who run the events are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are instrumental in collecting all of the vendor information necessary for each event.
CONSThe results are easy to decipher, but I'm not sure how easily we would navigate the event software from start to finish, without their support.
Reason for choosing PROACTIS
The other companies did not seem to have the same level of support.

Proactis User since 2009
Proactis helps me drive serious, measurable results...and does so without a significant time investment from the user (me). Their customer service is at a level that every service oriented business should strive to reach. And most importantly, the ROI we see from the Proactis solution can best be described as absurdly high.
PROSFirst, let me start by saying that web platforms with fancy options and features amount to nothing if you can't figure out how to use them - and ease of use this is one of the areas in which Proactis really shines. The software is very intuitive and user-friendly; A new user can begin effectively navigating the site without being given more than the URL, a sign-on and a password. As far as the fancy options and features there are plenty! Proactis continuously engages it's users for feedback on what they would like to see changed or added. The technology is user driven, and the end result is features that are meaningful and maximize bottom line savings.
CONSBecause user feedback is utilized to update the software, any there really isn't anything I don't like about the Proactis solution.

Great Partner
I like that is hold all information from events we have run and makes it easy to look back if needed. I also like how each event is easy to navigate.
CONSCould be a little more user friendly. The site sometimes feels outdated and could be updated however it does not slow down the work being done. Sometimes when running a reverse auction, the quote screen jumps all over the place if there are a lot of line items and players participating which makes it hard to keep track of what is happening.
Reason for choosing PROACTIS
We have been partnering with Proactis since 2002 and have saved over $130 million. Their tool is very efficient and is a great way to keep information organized. One of the main reasons we have stayed with Proactis is because of their excellent customer service/dedicated Managed Services Specialists. They are extremely organized, quick to respond and set up events, and also very knowledgeable and give great guidance to help us get best results.

Proactis
Ability to interface with our financial software, Aderant. The VRM component and ability to track risk management surveys.
CONSThe initial system setup was a bit complex and took more time than we initially thought.
Reasons for switching to PROACTIS
We needed a solution that included additional capabilities, such as vendor management and the ability to create and email surveys for risk management.

Proactis Bookends
The best part of the software is the ability we have to customize landing pages and forms to meet the needs of our customers, and the different vendors we have catalogs for.
CONSThe usability of this software is what I like least about using Proactis. The software could benefit from some major UI testing and feedback. Key icons are very small and/or hidden.
Reason for choosing PROACTIS
Proactis was the best value.

Only facts from our experience using this software
Fair competitive software with an excellent support team.
PROSEnd users (buyers not negotiators) have a quick and easy platform to buy what is available there.
CONS- Limited to hosted catalogues and punchouts… the platform must evolve to seamlessly include our ERP available catalogues. - SAP integration might be enhance - Analitics must be reinforced.

10+ Years as a User/Customer
I've been working with the team at Proactis in many capacities since 2007. I began working with them as someone who ran reverse auctions for our organization and now as a Buyer I use their services to purchase products and find new vendors. The team is fantastic - most of whom have not changed since the beginning. Their software is constantly being improved, updated, more customizable and they listen to and respond quickly to feedback!
PROSTheir software is highly customizable and works perfectly for our needs. The best part of working with Proactis is not just the software, but the incredible team behind the software that works between us and the vendor community.
CONSOver the many years of working with Proactis, they have made many advances and updates so I can confidently say there are no dislikes.

Just a RFQ Tool
The people at Proactis are very supportive. The tool is comprehensive but a little bulky and not the easiest to navigate.
PROSUse forces you to collect all relevant information about your product and put it into one place.
CONSImpersonal. Not the best way to manage vendor relationships and seek out total value and lowest cost of ownership.

With low bandwidth, having a resource to build RFP's and provide the administrative support to manage the correspondence is very valuable. My account manager is very accommodative and consistently seeks to serve and brings value.
