Garage Equipment Service saves hours every month, and no longer has to chase tenders across multiple portals

Background:

GESAB is a relatively small company with a niche customer base, which means the number of relevant procurements isn’t huge, but the ones that do come up are all the more important not to miss.

Challenge:

Before Tendium, monitoring procurements meant logging in and searching manually across several different platforms, which is time-consuming for a company without a dedicated bid team. With only 20 employees, every hour spent on manual monitoring is an hour that could have gone toward customer relationships and business. Responsibility for monitoring and tenders sits with the sales team, who divide the work internally based on who has time.

“We’re a very small company, so we assign it to whoever on the sales team has time,” says Robin Måhrbeck, salesperson at Garage Equipment Service.

Solution:

With Tendium, GESAB gets all relevant monitoring gathered and summarised in a daily email, instead of having to log in and search through several portals themselves. That makes it quick to sort out what’s worth pursuing.

“It takes seconds, instead of opening everything up,” says Robin about the time savings. “We’re talking about a few hours every month.”

Result:

The time savings are the clearest benefit. Robin estimates the team saves a few hours a month, which, spread out over a year, adds up to a significant amount of time that can be spent elsewhere. GESAB no longer has to chase information, instead, what’s relevant is delivered straight to them.

“Above all, we don’t have to sit and monitor several different platforms. We’re not a large organisation, so something like this is worth its weight in gold,” Robin concludes.
