Auction Conclusion

When the reverse auction commences, suppliers can log in the 8Manage platform and start submitting their bids in real time. The auctioneer can control the auction parameters such as the start and end time of each round, the minimum bidding increments and what fields are visible during bidding in real-time.

The competitive nature of reverse auctions encourages suppliers to continuously lower their prices as they compete with one another. Suppliers monitor the information on the 8Manage closely to gauge the competition and strategically adjust their bids to remain competitive.

All participating suppliers using the 8Manage platform can see the bids submitted by their competitors in real-time. The transparency fosters a highly competitive environment as suppliers attempt to outbid each other.
