It was a good solution, but its not working any more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have an annual contract with them but since may 2024 nobody answers emails or phone. It seems that the company is no longer in operation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about ProcurePort is ease of use. The user Interface is very user friendly. No formal training is required. It is capable of handling simple to complex negotiations with ease. The system adoption by our procurement team and suppliers was very quick. Suppliers found it easy to submit quotes as compared to the solution we were using earlier. System has the flexibility to incorporate any kind of calculation formula that we used in MS Excel. Creating projects is quick and easy. Also the reporting is fantastic and easy to understand. It gives the result in color coded format, just like comparison statements we used to create manually. It saved our lot of time. Categorized supplier management helps in quick quote collection. Contract Management repository is an icing on the cake which is inbuilt and helps us to track and renew the existing contracts within time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The dashboard does not have graphical representation of the spend addressed and project executed, although it was not a area of concern for us as we can get overall project status and event based reporting. Quick analysis on dashboard looks good and I must appreciate that Procureport has worked on our feedback proactively and has promised to release update in March 2020 for On Dashboard Analysis with Graphical representation.

I like that you don't have to interact personally with the bidders. The bidders are forced to enter their prices directly into the system, without having to interact with the purchasing staff. Easy enrollment process for the bidders. Easy participant selection process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that I can't make the awarding process directly from the portal. That forces the purchasing staff to have to interaction with the bidder via email. Procure Port staff need to do a better job on the reporting system. It is not easy to evaluate the Total bid per participant using the excel report at Bid History. You should consider to only have visibility of the bidding process until it is finished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The functionality is there and the platform is very intuitive and easy to use.A simple auction can be setup in less than 30 minutes. I like to use the templates which reduces the setup time even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Upload functionality of suppliers and parts is difficult or can just be done by Procure port itself. I am hoping this will be resolved at some point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using ProcurePort for my companies online auctions for several years now and have never had a problem, the good people at ProcurePort are always there to answer questions. The platform is very user friendly and easy to use on both my end and the Suppliers end. I have received nothing but good feed back from the Suppliers that are bidding on my procurements via the ProcurePort platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really don't have any dislikes, the only additional thing that would make the platform even better would be if I could pull the historical usage data I need from Utilities directly from the ProcurePort site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to use and even our customers that don't normally work with systems like this find it simple and straight-forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a lot of steps to launch the auctions, but that is primarily because there are so many configuration settings - which provides wider auction options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ProcurePort has very available tech help when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There seems to be glitches sometimes. Something that should be there isn't. Comments attached to questions in questionnaire, multiples choices available in excel format as well as online version of questionnaire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Saved templates in each category are a time-saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Managers enjoy charts; having those be more informational or editable would be beneficial when showing results. Also, having recommended templates could be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The reporting available after a reverse auction has ended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Difficulty to set-up, also cannot customize auctions on the fly, e.g. remove unneeded fields like Mileage or Weight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
