Supplier RFQ and BID Management -  Through MIE Exchange faxing, emailing and phone calls are eliminated or minimized as suppliers get all their RFQs electronically.   As buyers submit RFQs to their private supplier list, suppliers receive the RFQs online which can be directly turned around into a supplier response.   The entire process is managed through MIE Exchange through its intuitive workflow mechanism.   Suppliers can then view the status of their RFQs responses in real time as the buyer reviews, closes and awards the RFQ.  

Document Management -  Buyers can store documents, drawings and specifications in MIE Exchange while giving the private supplier community access to these documents and catalogs.   Eliminating the need for emailing and FTP downloads in order to save both the supplier and buyer time and effort.

PO Creation and Management - Buyer may award RFQs to either single or multiple suppliers directly through MIE Exchange.   Suppliers can gather their purchase orders, change orders online in electronic format.   Transaction history is visible to both the buyer and supplier.

MIE Exchange is not a open bidding system where it does nothing but hurt your core business as buyers select the least expensive bid without looking at the quality of the relationship. MIE Exchange allows buyers to place an RFQ to their set of known suppliers which creates a more efficient process to create and award RFQ's. Suppliers have a single location for all their buyers to submit RFQs and Purchase Orders without the need of time consuming emailing and faxing.

With MIE Exchange there is no software to install because it runs using the latest Adobe Flex technology on the browser making the browser look like a desktop application. MIE Exchange has an open API which allows any application to communicate with the MIE Exchange database in order to import or export data directly into existing ERP and accounting systems. A B2B relationship is very important and MIE Exchange will help your company create an optimized relationship.
