AgoraQuote will only send quote requests to vendors you have invited to participate. When only approved vendors can provide quotes and produce goods using your brand, you have control over how your brand is used. Plus, you can approve designs before they go into production.

During the setup process for AgoraQuote, product categories are created based on the categories from your licensing agency. AgoraQuote then automatically calculates royalties and adds them to quotes. While the royalties aren’t visible to buyers, your licensing manager can easily pull reports on royalty data and reconcile purchases to your licensing agency’s reports.

When multiple vendors provide quotes for your order, they will be more competitive because they want their quote to win your business. Organizations using AgoraQuote save an average of 38%, and frequently save much more!

AgoraQuote uses smart forms to guide buyers through creating a quote request that gives the vendors all the information they need to response with a detailed quote. Buyers can also require additional information that is important for their specific situation, such as delivery timelines. When vendors provide their quote responses, everything the buyer needs to make a smart buying decision is in one place.

You can also use AgoraQuote for vendor management and qualification needs.
