All of SafeSourcing's SaaS based offerings are delivered through a set of White Glove services!
Today’s post is from Ron Southard, CEO of SafeSourcing Inc.
When I was in the US Air Force, our TI (Training Instructor) used to conduct “White Glove” inspections. The obvious reason was to determine if our barracks were clean, And I mean CLEAN. He ran his fingers across shelves, tops of doors, under beds and anywhere that might contain dust or dirt. Believe me as a new recruit you did not want to have anything show up on those gloves.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary provides a simple definition of White Glove: marked by special care or attention : METICULOUS.// white-glove service.
At SafeSourcing, white glove service when it comes to hosting an eRFX RFI, RFP or RFQ which are also called reverse auctions or online bidding includes the following. Our customer services team thoroughly reviews the event strategies, supplier selection, contract terms and conditions, and any other information and requirements a minimum of three times by multiple associates before sending it for customer’s approval. Once the team receives an approval from the client, we send out invitations to the supplier community that have been approved for bidding. Simultaneously, our team plays an interactive role with the suppliers and encourages them to participate in the bidding, reviews all pertinent data with them and responds to any questions and concerns on behalf of our customer and finally teaches them how to use our tool. During the live event, our team is online and on the phone with the suppliers in order to respond to any issues that may arise.
While there are multiple steps and many touch points in the simple process explanation listed above, the results speak for themselves. Our customers over the last 30 months across multiple industries and regardless of company or spend size have averaged 24.7% savings.
