eDynaQuote
Online competitive bidding solution is easy to use and execute without extensive training and support.
Company Background
eDynaQuote is an association of procurement consultants and project managers who help companies trim
costs and manage procurement better. www.eDynaQuote.com offers
an easy-to-use online bidding tool, coupled with personal training in strategic purchasing and
professional project management for online competitive bidding events.
The Center for eBusiness and Advanced Information Technology (eBizITPA), is a Pennsylvania economic
development resource started in 2002 to help companies understand and use e-business technology and
tools to be successful. eDynaQuote was developed to enable organizations to apply e-business
technology to sourcing and purchasing business processes to increase efficiency and become more
competitive.
Situation
eBizITPA identified opportunities for businesses and public sector organizations to capitalize on the
savings resulting from using a successful online bidding process or reverse auction solution.
eBizITPA acquired reverse auction software from an international business for the purpose of offering
small businesses online bidding opportunities. They then needed to develop this auction software into
a product and business model that would be easy-to-use and implement, for smaller to medium sized
businesses and provide the cost-savings results they were striving for in a web software.
Solution
Working in conjunction with eBizITPA, DNS was able to create eDynaQuote, which allowed companies to
create purchasing opportunities for goods and services using a reverse auction. DNS ensured that the
online bidding system could perform the following critical functions:
- automate and streamline the bid solicitation process
- post and distribute bid solicitations electronically
- collect and report bid data
- provide analyzed auction results for easy reporting
DNS created the eDynaQuote software with the end-user in mind. Business users of all skill levels
found eDynaQuote easy to use and execute without extensive training and support. Distributed Network
Software’s experienced programmers accomplished this by using standard development methods and Visual
Studio.NET.
Benefits
eDynaQuote.com has saved its clients millions of dollars in commodities and services through the
implementation of this online bidding software. The functionality of the system allows buyers to
significantly reduce costs associated with bidding for a job and improve buyers purchasing efficiencies.
"The ability to create and store electronic specifications makes it so much easier when I need to run
another event," said Jackie Bonace, Blair International Trade Division. DNS's design and development
of the eDynaQuote system has made it cost-effective and simple for purchasing managers to experience
the cost-saving benefits of online bidding.
"The experienced developers from DNS helped us create a world-class system. We repeatedly hear
from customers and prospects that eDynaQuote is more user friendly and intuitive than our competitors'
systems."
