View scenario-based savings models

    • Cherry Pick Best Price — shows savings if each item was awarded to the cheapest bidder.
    • Award to Cost Effective Supplier — shows savings if all items were awarded to the single most cost effective supplier bidding on all items
  • Each scenario shows you spend, awarded amounts, savings, and discounts to compare across cenarios.
  • Create up to five custom scenarios by uploading an Excel that specifies how to award each item.
