Vendor Portal

Where Vendors Quote.
Where Deals Get Done.

Stop chasing quotes over email. S2Q gives your vendors a structured portal to respond to RFQs, submit pricing, and negotiate line items — all feeding directly into your procurement workflow.

Structured Quote Submission Real-Time Negotiation AI-Powered Scoring
01 — QUOTE SUBMISSION

Structured Quotes. Not Email Attachments.

Vendors receive a pre-populated quote form with every line item from your RFQ already mapped. They fill in pricing, lead times, and availability — no formatting, no ambiguity, no back-and-forth clarifying what you asked for.

  • Pre-populated with every line item from the original RFQ
  • Vendors add unit price, lead time, MOQ, and notes per line
  • Partial submissions allowed — flag unavailable items directly
  • Quote locks on submission — full audit trail maintained

02 — NEGOTIATIONS PANEL

Negotiate in the Platform. Not in Your Inbox.

When a quote needs adjustment, your team opens a negotiation thread directly on the line item. Vendors respond with revised pricing, counter-offers are tracked, and every accepted revision flows into the comparison matrix automatically.

  • Line-item level negotiation threads — not full-quote emails
  • Counter-offer proposals with structured price fields
  • All revisions versioned and timestamped for compliance
  • Accepted counter-offers auto-update the comparison matrix

03 — QUOTE TRACKING

Every Vendor Knows Exactly Where They Stand.

Vendors get a live dashboard showing the status of every active RFQ — what's pending their response, what's under review, and what's been awarded. No more "did you get my quote?" calls. Everyone works off the same real-time source of truth.

  • Live RFQ status — open, under review, awarded, expired
  • Response completeness indicator per RFQ
  • Award notifications sent instantly on PO generation
  • Historical quote archive with win/loss rate visibility

04 — AI VENDOR SCORING

The Best Offer Rises to the Top. Automatically.

Once quotes are submitted, S2Q's AI scores every vendor across price competitiveness, delivery reliability, coverage completeness, and historical performance. You get a ranked recommendation — not a spreadsheet to sort.

  • Multi-factor scoring: price, lead time, coverage, reliability
  • Historical win-rate and on-time delivery weighted into score
  • Side-by-side normalized comparison across all vendors
  • One-click PO generation for the top-ranked vendor
