Suppliers can search for a buyer for their products for free on the Bidzaar platform or make a request for the purchase of the necessary goods for it, said the founder of the company Andrey Chernogorov.
"We have a zero participation threshold at the site - the supplier pays nothing to participate in the tender. Only if he is successful, he pays a commission. Each supplier can also put up a purchase request", - he noted during the round table on the topic "Procurement: new partners for business". Now the Bidzaar platform has lowered all barriers, helping suppliers and customers redistribute orders, the founder added.
He talked about this month's significant growth over the previous six months. "This was possible due to the fact that a lot of procurement used to be done in the "from your supplier", "in the mail in exele" format. Now all of that has collapsed. Only a trading platform can now give a qualitative analysis of the market and somehow filter the audience of suppliers," Chernogorov emphasized.
Now the "hottest story" on the portal, according to him, is the IT sector. The founder of the company explained that customers are buying up leftovers of equipment already imported on foreign processors, because in fact they have stopped bringing such equipment to Russia.
"Therefore, now it is important to distribute the already imported volumes as correctly as possible. We have built direct links at the site with suppliers who know how to import goods from neutral countries - from Turkey, Kazakhstan, India and China", - continued the founder of the site.
He asked the Moscow authorities for information support and allowed the discussion of roaming when registering on the capital portal of suppliers.
"For our part, we can upload 40 thousand suppliers that are probably not there," he added.
Bidzaar is a procurement platform for private companies. Now 150 largest private enterprises of the country place their purchases here, mostly they represent small and medium-sized businesses.
