ProcurementOps: How to Automate B2B Quoting and Auctions
Purchasing's golden rule is the "Three-Quote System" (RFP/RFQ). But what happens in practice? The buyer emails 3 vendors, gets PDFs with different layouts, dumps them in Excel, and tries to compare. ProcurementOps centralizes this communication, ensuring the company buys better, faster, and with total transparency (Compliance).
The Vendor Works in Your System
You shouldn't retype the price the vendor sent in a PDF. They themselves should enter the price into your company's standardized portal.
Jestor's Purchasing Portal
This is where Jestor acts, revolutionizing the department:
- External Quoting Portal: You create the purchase request in Jestor. The system sends a secure link to homologated vendors to input their prices and delivery times directly into the platform.
- Automatic Comparison: Jestor receives the replies and lines them up side-by-side. An automation highlights the vendor with the lowest price and shortest deadline in green.
- Approval and Auto-PO: The manager clicks "Choose Vendor A." Instantly, Jestor generates the Purchase Order (PO) in PDF and emails it to the chosen vendor, alerting the others of rejection.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does it integrate with accounts payable? Perfectly. The generated PO automatically creates the payment forecast on the financial dashboard.
