”The process was more efficient than our legacy process. It shortened our RFP process by approx. 80%, and absolutely saved time and money.”
Senior Network Engineer, Leading Biopharmaceutical Company |

“As always, you have been an excellent partner in an often challenging process, and I am sure that we never could have achieved as high quality an outcome as we did had we not partnered. The contract we got was more favorable in both terms and conditions and pricing than what we could have achieved on our own. The vendors knew from the get-go that we were in control and driving the process, not the other way around.”

You're is one of the best that I have come across.

“In a business climate where efficiencies must increase and indirect costs must be cut as much as possible to help strengthen profitability, we decided to focus on gaining more control over our telecom expense. Avotus was able to help us predict what we could gain if we had a stronger telecom contract, and through the WebAuction, we were able to gain a new superior carrier partner while obtaining much improved pricing and terms.”
CIO, Leading National Collection Agency |

Vendor Quotes: |
WebAuction has done an excellent job developing a process that seems to level the playing field for competitive RFP responses. This is the first time in many years of responding to RFP's where it seemed unbiased from one vendor to another. Fairness and integrity are always a challenge in this industry - and it seems after my first experience that the bidding process was fair to all. Additionally - it is powerful to see our immediate feedback on where we rank compared to the competition. Even if a price or response cannot be improved it is extremely valuable to be able to provide that immediate feedback internally as to our strengths and weaknesses.Coordinating the internal resources to respond is much easier as well vs. the traditional development of an entire RFP response.Thank you, I will officially reply with AT&T's interest upon complete review of the NDA.
Global Account Director |
“I will have to admit that you kept me on my toes during the whole RFP process. I was on the west coast of Australia at the time visiting my sister, and your web application made it possible for me to continue to work on it, even though I was on the other side of the globe! Please feel free to use me as a reference for any questions or opportunities.”
