Step 2
Buyers publish their Request
for Quotation (RFQ), providing helpful
information (drawings, specifications,
mathematics) and timeframes.
SEARCH AND FIND
Suppliers view all Requests
for Quotation (RFQs) and select
those of interest, proposing their
best quotation.

14. 14
This is the moment of dialogue between the Buyer and Supplier.
Depending on your specific needs, you can create videoconference
meetings or request changes and additions to offers and quotations.
REQUESTS AND OFFERS ARE ALIGNED
Hello, could you please send
me the technical drawings
of the project?
Thank you.
Could you also send me the
mathematics?
Hello, Dr. Rossi.
I’ll send you the documents
this afternoon.

15. 15
Step 4
Thanks to the comparison algorithm,
the Buyer immediately compares all offers
received from the Suppliers.
AND NOW I CHOOSE!

The management of each project
is simple and straightforward, as is
the purchasing process and the selection
of a new supplier. Instead of a
time-consuming exchange of e-mails,
a user-friendly and intuitive space with
all current requests for tenders.
Open Mould provides companies with
a secure space to store their various projects
with high levels of protection guaranteed
by Swiss legislation. Files, drawings, technical
comments, commercial information, contractual
conditions and shared documents are carefully
protected.
Because I deal with many
suppliers in a simple
and intuitive way.
Because security
also has its part to play.
BUYER

21. 21
By pitting several suppliers against
each other, the company has plenty
of choices and gets the best price.
Purchasing departments also breathe
a sigh of relief: simpler processes mean
less wasted time and greater efficiency!
Open Mould expands the companies’ supplier
network. Buyers can stop wondering whether
they have signed up for the best possible offer.
Time after time, they have a complete overview
of suppliers in the sector in front of them from
which to choose the best in terms of price
and quality.
Because it increases
opportunities and
reduces my costs.
Because I finally have
the certainty of the best offer.
BUYER

22. 22
Open Mould has no boundaries.
That’s why it allows companies to buy their
own moulds for plastic materials, but also
other types of equipment and the services
needed for a project: automation, gripping
hands, control gauges, laboratory tests,
metrological checks and much more.
Because in addition to
moulds, I find so much more!

SUPPLIER
Open Mould gives Suppliers the real
opportunity to send lots of quotes to
new potential customers. Getting more
people to know you is the first step
to getting more people to choose you.
It is essential for sellers always to have
an objective view of the target market.
On Open Mould, the supplier can modify
his offers during the negotiation and adapt
them to the customer’s requirements.
Because I become more
competitive every day.
Because it’s like
having my own agent.

26. 26
Finally, you no longer have to file documents
and search for a thousand different pieces
of information to make a quotation. All the
necessary data and materials are available
on the platform and can be consulted at
any time. Convenient, isn’t it?
On the platform, in one place, the Supplier
finds everything he needs, even the timing
and any updates from the Buyer.
There is no need to search for every piece
of information in a sea of emails: it’s all here,
on Open Mould!
Because it’s all here!

Because quoting has
never been easier.
