### "VendorPanel was a Game Changer!"

December 13, 2023

5.0

VendorPanel makes purchasing simple, but enables compliance and good governance. Staff are always super responsive if we have any issues or enquiries

Pros

VendorPanel was easy to implement. It really is like following a bounding ball. Most staff took to it straight away. We had a lot of positive feedback about how easy it it to use. Staff have a whole marketplace at their fingertips so they can always find suppliers.

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about VendorPanel.

### "CTRC REVIEW"

December 9, 2019

5.0

Vendor Panel has assisted this organistaion to transition from a manual tendering process to an electronic one. The system has also provided officers with a simple method of sourcing quotes and evaluating the responses.

Pros

Ease of use for non procurement officers

Cons

Reporting/analytics is an additional cost. Would be nice if this was included in the standard subscription.

Reason for choosing VendorPanel

The reason we decided on Vendor Panel was ease of use, considering non-procurement staff would be required to use the system, and the affordability of the system compared to other products.

Works very well when seeking quotes from audit panel members. However, we tend to evaluate quotations/tenders offline

Pros

Very easy to seek quotations from audit panel members

Cons

Not so staightforward if need to communicate with vendors during a RFQ process (eg, to responsd to a vendor question where all vendors must receive the same info). I like the ample warning messages prior to uploading/publishing material to vendors.

### "User friendly, logical, seamless"

September 23, 2019

5.0

Vendor Panel is a phenomenal software provider, from a user friendly site with logical lay out, to step by step instructions, a wonderful support team, and features that drastically improve business flow. I thoroughly enjoy using Vendor Panel every day, I wish all the systems I used were as seamless and effective as this platform!

Pros

Vendor Panel is incredibly easy to use and logical in its layout and functionality.

Cons

I genuinely have sat here trying to think of something I don't like about Vendor Panel and can't come up with anything.

I’d like it to be integrated into our accounting system.

### "General Review"

May 21, 2020

5.0

Pros

I like how easy this software is to use and is great for anyone (with or without training) to be able to hop on and get things done.

Cons

I don't like the VendorPanel search bar as you must have the company name exactly right for it to recognize it. i.e. if the company is Bill.Bob it wont show up if you just type Bill Bob

4.0

I would like to see greater usage from this agency. I know that we are currently looking to expand Vendor Panel functions which i hope will create an uptake in usage.

Pros

Evaluation tools and simultaneous notifications

Cons

Does not capture the business reach of the suppliers. Search results are based on the location of the business.

Reason for choosing VendorPanel

It was chosen because of the ability to access the Supply Nation list

### "Vendor Panel takes the problems out of running a RFQ."

May 21, 2020

5.0

After a once every two to three year renewal of contractors, it takes little time to use and manage, saving man power.

Pros

All vendors on panel have been pre-qualified in the area you need. The system is easy to use effectively. The system is low cost. If you regularly call RFQ it saves many hours per call. It allows the LGA panel to be used as part of process, expanding availability. It follow up on you if you fail to make a decision on time.

Cons

It is difficult to integrate non qualified vendors into a RFQ

For myself it has enabled me to manage my tenders at the time that I require them and to be able to open and close and select within the month.

Pros

Step by step easy to use, templates already prepared for use, and or the legal side completed and approved prior to tendering.

Cons

Have not found anything that I dont like about this program, more suppliers would be nice in the future
