VendorPanel was a Game Changer!
VendorPanel makes purchasing simple, but enables compliance and good governance. Staff are always super responsive if we have any issues or enquiries
PROSVendorPanel was easy to implement. It really is like following a bounding ball. Most staff took to it straight away. We had a lot of positive feedback about how easy it it to use. Staff have a whole marketplace at their fingertips so they can always find suppliers.
CONSI have nothing negative to say about VendorPanel.
Reasons for switching to VendorPanel
We were looking for an end-to-end solution with smarts which would bring efficiencies while providing good governance, and have the ability to write Reports which cover Council's needs. We finally got that with VendorPanel.

CTRC REVIEW
Vendor Panel has assisted this organistaion to transition from a manual tendering process to an electronic one. The system has also provided officers with a simple method of sourcing quotes and evaluating the responses.
PROSEase of use for non procurement officers
CONSReporting/analytics is an additional cost. Would be nice if this was included in the standard subscription.
Reason for choosing VendorPanel
The reason we decided on Vendor Panel was ease of use, considering non-procurement staff would be required to use the system, and the affordability of the system compared to other products.

Vendor Panel review
Works very well when seeking quotes from audit panel members. However, we tend to evaluate quotations/tenders offline
PROSVery easy to seek quotations from audit panel members
CONSNot so staightforward if need to communicate with vendors during a RFQ process (eg, to responsd to a vendor question where all vendors must receive the same info). I like the ample warning messages prior to uploading/publishing material to vendors.

User friendly, logical, seamless
Vendor Panel is a phenomenal software provider, from a user friendly site with logical lay out, to step by step instructions, a wonderful support team, and features that drastically improve business flow. I thoroughly enjoy using Vendor Panel every day, I wish all the systems I used were as seamless and effective as this platform!
PROSVendor Panel is incredibly easy to use and logical in its layout and functionality.
CONSI genuinely have sat here trying to think of something I don't like about Vendor Panel and can't come up with anything.

Vendor Panel
My overall experience has been fantastic, I think Vendor Panel ticks all the boxes for ensuring sound procurement.
PROSVendor Panel really is superior in ensuring compliance, streamlining the process and overall safeguards procurement functions. There are many pros, some of which are: - It’s very user friendly - Increases fairness and impartiality - Ensures transparency & accountability - Ensures confidentiality and security of information - Reduces risk - There is a fantastic support team
CONSI’d like it to be integrated into our accounting system.

General Review
I like how easy this software is to use and is great for anyone (with or without training) to be able to hop on and get things done.
CONSI don't like the VendorPanel search bar as you must have the company name exactly right for it to recognize it. i.e. if the company is Bill.Bob it wont show up if you just type Bill Bob

Vendor Panel takes the problems out of running a RFQ.
After a once every two to three year renewal of contractors, it takes little time to use and manage, saving man power.
PROSAll vendors on panel have been pre-qualified in the area you need. The system is easy to use effectively. The system is low cost. If you regularly call RFQ it saves many hours per call. It allows the LGA panel to be used as part of process, expanding availability. It follow up on you if you fail to make a decision on time.
CONSIt is difficult to integrate non qualified vendors into a RFQ
