Attending the 2023 CAPPO show? Stop by Booth #413 and Meet the EasiBuy Team!

By John Trader

EasiBuy will be attending the California Association of Public Procurement Professionals (CAPPO) Forum January 8 – 11, 2023 in Monterrey, CA and we are proud to be a Gold+ sponsor! We look forward to seeing you.

There are two ways you can interact with the EasiBuy Team to learn more about how we specialize in cooperative sourcing and managed procurement services for state and local government agencies.

#1 – Stop by Booth #413 to see a brief demo of our innovative cooperative sourcing solution –  even better, please plan to visit our Booth on January 10th at 10 am or 12 noon, and see the reverse auction process live and in-person! You heard us correctly. On January 10th at 10am and at 12 noon, Scott Patterson, Clay Sukys, and Dave DiMeo will be facilitating a LIVE reverse auction directly from the EasiBuy Booth – anyone that is interested to see how this process works has the opportunity to see it unfold in real-time. Again, this is not a demo or a pilot run – we will be showcasing our solution so you can get a firsthand look at how a reverse auction works!

#2 – Attend our educational break-out panel discussion on Monday January 9 from 2:45pm – 4:00pm in Marriott – San Carlos I! EasiBuy’s VP of Sales Scott Patterson will be hosting a panel discussion with the City of LA titled “Reverse Auction as a Procurement Tool.” The session will teach you how a reverse auction works, highlight specific features and benefits for government agencies, and provide examples of how The City of LA has leveraged this process to secure significant cost savings.

By the way….did you know that EasiBuy has managed in excess of $4.2B through the reviews auction process and have saved on average 22% across a broad range of categories? Many of our clients are utilizing the reverse auction process to mitigate price increases and confirm that they are paying true market value for the goods and services.

Looking forward to seeing you at CAPPO 2023 in January!

Attending the NIGP Forum 2022? It’s a Great Opportunity to Get Acquainted with EasiBuy!

By John Trader

The National Institute of Government Procurement’s (NIGP) annual trade show kicks off on Saturday August 20 at the Boston Convention Center, and the EasiBuy Team could not be more excited to meet and network with government procurement professionals and thought leaders from around the country. The geopolitical, environmental, labor, and transportation problems that have directly impacted the global supply chain the last couple of years have forced procurement professionals to seek efficiencies, work-arounds, new innovations, and alternative paths just to fulfill what were once considered basic, simple orders.  It’s small wonder that the team at NIGP decided to build this year’s conference curriculum around the theme “The innovations reshaping our future.”

At EasiBuy, we are laser focused on helping procurement professionals around the world through our cooperative sourcing and managed procurement services for state and local government agencies. Our managed reverse auction service provides unparalleled transparency, saves money, and establishes efficiencies as we work hand-in-hand with your organization to execute a multi-phase procurement process incorporating unique policies and procedures. The EasiBuy Team offers four key components to our approach:

  • Market Research: We identify the greatest category opportunities by analyzing market and spend data.
  • Focus Sourcing: We then identify and encourage suppliers to respond to the buyer’s sourcing event/bid.
  • Dynamic Pricing Event: Buyers then watch in real-time as qualified suppliers lower their price in real time.
  • Bid Tabulations/Reports: The EasiBuy Team provides a detailed post-event analysis providing both itemized and summarized results.

Key Benefits of our services include:

  • Speed to Savings: Face-paced, competitive environment to drive down price – resulting in a 22% average savings across all categories. Immediate bid results and tabulations are available allowing for speed to award and contracting.
  • Sealed Bid Environment: EasiBuy incorporates and follows your unique policies and procedures. We focus source suppliers, create greater visibility, and interact with suppliers maintaining the sealed bid process for government agencies.
  • Sustainable Value: We engage in a multiphase process – buying agency qualified suppliers to move to the pricing event. The reverse auction format provides unparalleled transparency and efficiency in a rapid-fire downward price negotiation.

There are two ways to interact with the EasiBuy Team at this weekend’s NIGP Forum 2022:

Many of our clients are utilizing the reverse auction process to mitigate price increases and confirm that they are paying true market value for the goods and services.
