Sound familiar?

  • First prices get accepted because nobody knows what to push on
  • Savings are claimed in a spreadsheet nobody trusts
  • Only the procurement team knows how to run another round

Negotiation

First price, great price.

Intakt’s price is published and the same for everyone. Your suppliers’ first quotes usually have room in them, so Intakt lines them up side by side, runs another round and shows you where to push.

  • A recommended offer and your next move

    See which offer Intakt would pick and why, what you have negotiated off so far and the move most likely to lower the price again.

    • A recommended offer, with the reasons
    • What you have already negotiated off
    • Your next best move, one click to ask
    Intakt's pick of five offers with the reasons, the amount negotiated so far, where each offer sits against the target cost, and the next best move.

  • Finalists head to head

    Put two or more suppliers into a best-and-final round with one deadline. Each is told whether they are currently lowest, never who else is bidding or at what price.

    • One date for everyone, emailed from Intakt
    • Suppliers improve their price or keep it, from their link
    • What each round took off, as it happens
    A best-and-final round between two suppliers: one has come back lower and is marked lowest, the other has not answered yet, and the round has taken 10,800 off the offers.

  • Savings measured against first quotes

    Intakt compares what you paid with each supplier’s first-round price, so savings are on record order by order.

    • Savings against first-round prices
    • Your return on the subscription, worked out for you
    • Print it or save it as a PDF for the board
    The value report for the last 90 days: saved off first-round prices, spend managed, the return on the subscription and the median days to order.

Also included

  • More rounds

    Ask suppliers to revise their offer, and every round stays on record.

  • Best and final

    Ask one supplier, or run a round across your finalists with one deadline.

  • Decline and bring back

    Turn down offers politely, and bring one back if the winner falls through.

  • Savings by category

    See spend and savings by category and supplier, from the records themselves.
