Frequently asked questions
Do eAuctions hurt supplier relationships?
Some suppliers initially hesitate because eAuctions introduce greater competition and transparency.
However, once suppliers participate, they often prefer eAuctions because:
- They get real-time market feedback on pricing. - They have equal opportunities instead of closed-door negotiations. - They can adjust bids dynamically rather than submitting a single RFP price.
What support is available for buyers and suppliers?
CROWN provides end-to-end support, including:
- Live training sessions before eAuctions. - Technical assistance for suppliers adjusting to the platform. - Real-time auction monitoring and guidance for procurement teams.
Is there an implementation cost?
No, CROWN operates as a standalone platform, so there are no implementation fees. Companies can start using CROWN immediately without additional IT setup.
How long does it take to prepare an eAuction?
It typically takes 1-2 weeks to prepare an eAuction, depending on category complexity and supplier engagement.
Key Steps in eAuction Preparation:
- Category & Supplier Selection (1-3 days) – Identify qualified suppliers and ensure competitive participation. - Supplier Engagement & Training (3-5 days) – Educate suppliers on eAuction process. - eAuction Setup & Testing (3-5 days) – Configure auction parameters, pricing models, and test runs.
Who in my company should be involved in an eAuction project?
For a successful eAuction implementation, key stakeholders include: - Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) – Sets procurement strategy. - Category Managers – Oversee sourcing and supplier relationships. - Finance Teams – Validate cost savings. - Legal & Compliance Teams – Ensure regulatory and contractual alignment.
