Trusted by innovative procurement teams across industries
Key Benefits
Seamless onboarding powered by AI
Turn invited vendors into market-ready participants in minutes, because a partner deserves more than an Excel cell.
Get started
01
Automated bot-led training
Once invited to one of your tenders, suppliers are instantly guided through a tailored tour of the CROWN Platform by our AI assistant.
To ensure total readiness, they can participate to a simulation where they test strategies against bots mimicking real market behaviors across all auction types.
This hands-on practice, backed by access to human support for complex queries, ensures every participant is fully prepared before the first real bid is cast.
02
A supplier-centric approach
Beyond simple onboarding, CROWN ensures suppliers are technically prepared and strategically ready before the first bid.
By practicing in a risk-free sandbox, suppliers eliminate technical errors and sharpen their strategy. This supplier-centric approach drives 100% adoption and automates support, allowing your team to focus on results while confident, prepared vendors deliver the best market value.
03
Adoption without tool fatigue
Success in eAuctions depends on supplier confidence. CROWN removes the learning curve by providing every invited vendor with a personal AI chatbot.
Because we believe a supplier is a partner, not just a bid, our approach is intentionally supplier-centric: from the moment they join, they are never left alone. They aren't just using a tool; they are mastering a new way of negotiating in an environment designed for their success.
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.
