Vendor’s RFQ solicitation types and scoring in procurement process is a very common practice especially in Public Sector and in such scenario an organization should be able to track and enter the Vendor RFQ scoring.

made very easy & simple with scoring functionality. Here we have the step by step training .... Lets Start with the few new setups.
