When suppliers compete, you win
Getting quotations for the supply of dental material is the first step to ensuring that your dental practice's office supply is fully stocked. The variety of materials and the number of suppliers for these materials can be complicated to manage manually. Maximize your budget by requesting quotes on dental supplies, goods, and services from multiple suppliers in a single, simple process.
Method makes it easy to request quotes and proposals from multiple suppliers. Track responses, verify that your needs can be met, perform cost analyses, reduce email clutter and ensure suppliers keep pricing commitments once a purchase is made.
Specify technical or service requirements for your project and set up questions for suppliers to answer.
Invite qualified suppliers to respond with a proposal meeting your needs. Suppliers submit their offers, including solution details, pricing, responses to questions, and attachments, via an online portal.
Review and compare proposals quickly with a side-by-side view. Method automatically performs cost analysis to show you the best value. Ask suppliers to clarify or expand responses if needed.
Once you’ve reviewed the proposals and settled on a supplier, issue an award through Method to alert the winning bidder they have your business. Method will send the order electronically for you.
