How we Help
JB’s e-Sourcing system is an intuitive software platform that combines simple, easy to use navigation with robust data management capabilities. Our e-Sourcing suite includes eRFx software and encompasses:
- A simple Request For Information (RFI) tool for quick and easy vendor discovery:
-
- For simple supplier discovery or supplier audits;
- Create pre-qualification questionnaires or simple surveys to quickly qualify your suppliers;
- Shortlist and export suppliers directly into an e- RFP or e-Auction, after e-RFI ends;
- Repository for all documents, history, and activity related to the e-RFI;
- Clone features to a new e-RFI;
- Full Excel integration (allows you to build the questionnaire in Excel, and import and export responses directly to an e-RFI).
- a Request for Proposal (RFP) tool for more in-depth supply market investigations:
-
- Allows you to collect information that includes pricing (without an e-Auction);
- Programmed in multiple languages, along with multi-lingual support;
- Reduces manual paperwork and eliminates processing errors;
- Panel e-RFP’s or one-offs;
- Upload documents like Billing Guidelines, NDAs, etc. for supplier acceptance;
- Collaborate with colleagues by inviting them to co-author the event, to observe the event, and/or to weigh and score questions;
- Flexibility of question types (multiple choice, text questions, radio button, grid, check box, drop down, and more);
- Matrix for over 400,000-line items and 1 million data points (ideal for AFA’s, e-discovery services, and other complex events);
- Create “favorites” list to easily invite pool of suppliers specific to each event (e.g., “IP Panel Firms”);
- Robust analysis of responses – by section, by question, by scorer, by respondent, and a host of other metrics – visually displayed in charts and graphs (also exportable to Excel);
- Best-in-class templates (and question library) by area of law, e-RFP type, matter (can create your own or ask for assistance);
- Clone features to a new e-RFP;
- Messaging system that functions like your private email inbox (with public and private capabilities for your interactions with suppliers);
- Ability to shortlist suppliers and run additional rounds of an e-RFP;
- Export your e-RFP directly into an e-Auction;

- Timed events can be Japanese e-Auctions (wherein the events have timed rounds that lower the prices by a predetermined amount each round and respondents can accept or decline new pricing by round), English, or Dutch e-Auctions;
- Reverse (if you are buying) and forward (if you are selling) capabilities;
- Enable real-time bidding supported by different strategies, extension rules, safety nets, and other advanced features of the software that allow complete control over the auction;
