eQuote Solution
eQuote: Quote to Cart Made Easy
eQuotes, also known as special orders, simplify the quote-to-order process for both buyers and suppliers by transferring quote data into eProcurement solutions. Automating eQuotes improves efficiency and reduces error by eliminating manual rekeying and enabling quote data to readily sync into the buyer’s eProcurement solution.
