Anyone who has broad tenders coming in or searching knows the problem: Determining what is relevant to your business takes an enormous amount of time. In addition to reviewing each tender, there is often a lot of information to go with it.
That problem can be solved simply, with TenderApp. Marcel Hazeleger, owner and director of TenderApp, talks about the numerous possibilities and conveniences the application has to offer.
"As a customer, all you have to do is enter your search criteria. TenderApp then gives you the tenders that match your query. We provide the tenders with enriched data. This is not done automatically, but by knowledgeable people working for us, so we can be sure that the data are complete and correct," Hazeleger opens the conversation. "Our people interpret tenders and add the right tags to them so that clean matches can be made with search criteria of TenderApp users."
TenderApp believes in the importance of timely, complete and accurate information. With TenderSignaling, you get notification within a day of new tenders that fit your search criteria. With all documents, an agenda and summary. "That saves time, costs and manpower," Hazeleger suggests. "The data our customer is presented with is clean and streamlined. TenderApp uses 10 sources to list relevant tenders. The application is developed entirely by ourselves, with a strong focus on customer needs. Data is enriched by us with data such as location, drawings, photos and any conceivable, relevant documentation that can be used to gain good insight into the tender. This is how we increase the chances of winning for our clients."
"Data and software are two of the three pillars to which the application owes its success. The third pillar is knowledge sharing, through the Bidcycle methodology." Successful tendering is proactive tendering, Hazeleger argues. He explains: "You want to know what's coming in terms of tenders. TenderApp offers the possibility of forecasts for that. And TenderApp offers extensive market information. Each tender is linked by us to the database of the Chamber of Commerce. And each tender is provided with award information. With TenderInsight you can then, for example, retrieve the data of your competitors and see exactly which tenders they have won in recent years."
Hazeleger is convinced that TenderApp provides the highest quality data within the world of procurement. "It is software that really facilitates. Not a platform built for buyers where informing the entrepreneur is an afterthought. This is a platform where the entrepreneur is central. We take work off his hands, save him costs and increase his chances of success. In addition, TenderApp is a valuable source of market and tender data for both sales and purchasing. Working with TenderApp adds value on more than one level to everyone involved in tenders."
