MARS does the busywork of sourcing: it drafts the RFQ, finds and invites suppliers, chases the ones who go quiet, reads and compares every quote and runs the rounds. More suppliers compete for every purchase, and your team only steps in to decide.

Sample RFQ. Supplier names are illustrative.
What procurement leaders are asked to deliver
It is what every board asks for. Today the team spends its day on email, chasing and spreadsheets — so it quotes with few suppliers and negotiates little. MARS flips that.

You awardStep 8 of 8
Each approver signs off from an e-mail link. The contract is registered with its savings and a renewal reminder.
Your team's time
An RFQ with 35 suppliers means more than a hundred tasks: invitations, follow-ups, answers, quote reading and counter-offers. MARS does all of them. The buyer steps in three times — and nothing is published, shortlisted or awarded without them.

The cheapest first quote rarely wins. With more suppliers bidding and rounds, BAFO and a live auction run by MARS, everyone competes to the end.
Sample RFQ-2047: 18 quotes, 5 shortlisted, price per tonne. Names and prices are illustrative.
Management
The dashboard measures every award against the average first quote and shows what came from competition, negotiation and the auction — by buyer, by category and month by month. And it shows the work MARS did for the team.
Competition, negotiation, auction and the final decision, each with its own amount.
Who is sourcing, how much they saved and where there is still room.
Emails, reminders, questions answered and quotes read, month by month.
Roles and permissions, a to-do queue, approval tiers and an audit trail.

suppliers quoting per RFQ
“We went from quoting 5 suppliers to 30+ per RFQ — the pricing pressure alone justified the investment in the first quarter.”
Better prices. A fraction of the effort.
Automated negotiation
“We used to negotiate with two or three suppliers simply because managing the back-and-forth took too much time. Now MARS keeps the negotiation rounds moving, and suppliers come back with better offers without us having to chase every single one.”
Offers we didn't know we were missing.
Better offers
“What surprised me wasn't just how much faster the process became. It was how often we found better offers simply because we could involve more suppliers.”
Complex bids, compared without Excel.
Bid comparison
“The biggest change for us was being able to compare complex bids without spending days going back and forth in Excel. We still make the final call, but now we're working with much better information.”
More RFQs. Same team.
Team capacity
“We didn't need to grow the team to handle more RFQs. MARS took the repetitive work off their plate, so buyers could spend more time on supplier strategy and negotiation.”
Every decision, explained.
Decision record
“When someone asks why we selected a particular supplier, I no longer have to piece together emails and old spreadsheets. The quotes, revisions, and negotiation history are all there.”

Procurement and sourcing teams that run competitive RFQs — for materials, services or mixed contracts: procurement heads, buyers, estimators, category managers and the finance people who approve.
All the busywork between publishing and awarding: drafting the RFQ, inviting, chasing silent suppliers, answering the questions the RFQ covers, reading quotes in any format, building the comparison and running the rounds. The buyer steps in at three decisions: publish, choose who negotiates and award.
By putting more suppliers on every purchase — your base, the MARS pool and up to 25 new companies per web search — and negotiating with every shortlisted supplier: counter-offer rounds, a best and final offer (BAFO) and, on Business and Enterprise, live reverse auctions.
On every awarded RFQ, the baseline is the average of the suppliers' first quotes. The dashboard shows total savings and how much came from competition, negotiation, the auction and the final decision, by buyer, category and month. Only approved awards count.
No. Each supplier gets a personal link to the supplier portal, in their language. They can also reply by e-mail with a PDF or spreadsheet — MARS reads it.
AI drafts the RFQ, finds and suggests suppliers, answers questions covered by the RFQ, reads quotes, suggests an evaluation and checks documents during qualification. Publishing, shortlisting, approving suppliers and awarding are always your team's decisions, and everything goes into the audit trail.
Integration with TOTVS, SAP and Sienge is in development. Meanwhile you import your supplier base from a spreadsheet (AI maps the columns), and every award is recorded with amounts, contract and savings.
Start on the Free plan with 20 credits a month. One credit per RFQ published or per supplier invited, and 4 per web supplier search (up to 25 companies). Paid plans add credits and features; packs top up any plan. See pricing.
You can publish a first RFQ the same day. Most teams are fully live within 1–2 weeks, with supplier list import and workspace setup support.
