Common questions
What is the ROI?
On average customers achieve return on investment within the first 3 months of deployment.
wantex customers save time from about the third RFQ that they send out. Typical time savings in manual tasks average 3.4h per RFQ. Also, you will find yourself inviting more suppliers making the results more competitive. Average savings against incumbent are around 7% with some cases being much much higher.
Can I use my existing cost breakdown templates?
Yes! You will need to convert your existing custom quote templates into wantex quote sheet templates once. This task usually takes about 5 minutes and we will help you set them up.
How long does it take until I can send my first RFQ?
With wantex being a web-based platform, the set-up time is incredibly fast. Experience the wantex speed as you send out your first RFQ within just an hour after signing up.
What makes wantex different from SAP Ariba / Jaggaer / Coupa?
Many of our clients use another sourcing solution and wantex for good reasons: Tools such as SAP Ariba are focussed on indirect material and catalog purchasing with a strong focus on approval flows and compliance.
They however lack the features an efficient and performant direct sourcing organisation needs. Also, they were built at the beginning of the millennium and thus do not have the greatest user experience and performance.
How do you calculate savings?
Savings within the wantex platform are either calculated against previous prices where available or against average supplier bids.
Metrics are adjustable according to your company definition.
What is the pricing model?
wantex offers a user-based pricing structure that ensures fair and transparent fees. While we don't have a set-up fee, there may be charges for integrations tailored to your specific needs. Schedule a demo to discuss the details and unlock the full potential of automated direct material sourcing.
