Turn your spend data into an actionable roadmap of eAuction projects, integrated directly into your team’s workflow.
Get started
01
From static data to a digital roadmap
A spend audit shouldn't just tell you what you spent; it should tell you how to negotiate it.
Developed alongside world-class procurement experts, our methodology applies a "Kraljic Matrix" filtered through an eAuction lens.
We categorize your spend not just by risk and value, but by digital potential, identifying exactly where competition can be automated to maximize leverage.
02
Discover the ROI of implementing eAuction
We transform your raw data into a high-impact digital roadmap by assessing the potential of every category.
By assessing and mapping your spend, we move beyond theory to deliver a quantified business case that identifies exactly where eAuctions will unlock the most value.
CROWN expert-backed audit pinpoints where traditional negotiations underperform, providing you with a clear ROI forecast and a prioritized plan for every category your are spending.
03
Orchestrate your move to eAuctions
We provide an execution plan integrated directly into your CROWN dashboard, allowing you to orchestrate your entire transformation program alongside your buyers.
This live blueprint features a visual mapping of your spend, a deep dive into "prime candidate" categories for immediate eAuctioning, and a prioritized project roadmap.
With CROWN expertise, transition your ecosystem from traditional methods to high-performance negotiation in real time.
How it works
Translate your tender into savings
Effortless setup for sourcing teams, powerful negotiation architecture for global procurement.
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.
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.
