The platform allows users to upload their existing supplier lists in Excel or CSV format, categorizes suppliers by product type, and searches for similar suppliers near the user's location or a specified area. Suppliers are invited to bid through secure email links, eliminating the need for accounts or passwords.
SourcingHQ offers features such as open or blind bidding, anti-snipe mechanisms, and the ability to split awards across multiple suppliers. The assistant drafts auctions based on user input and suggests suppliers to invite based on past auction history. It ensures data privacy by keeping user information confidential and not sharing it with other customers.
Pricing starts with a free plan that includes three auction events. Paid plans are available for more frequent use, with options for solo buyers, purchasing teams, and large enterprises. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of AI credits for supplier searches and enquiry drafts.
SourcingHQ is ideal for companies, distributors, resellers, and buying agents looking to optimize their procurement processes. It simplifies competitive bidding and supplier management, making it accessible to teams of all sizes.
