Beyond Traditional E-Auctions

Why leading procurement teams are moving to multi-criteria negotiations

Traditional Approach

Price-Only E-Auctions

  • Focus solely on lowest price
  • Commoditizes all suppliers
  • Ignores quality, service, and innovation
  • Race to the bottom
  • Limited supplier differentiation
Good for commodities, but limited value for complex purchases
The Nestor Advantage

Multi-Criteria Auctions

  • See the real difference between offers
  • Weight what matters: price, quality, delivery, sustainability
  • Let suppliers differentiate themselves
  • Make informed trade-offs based on your priorities
  • Build strategic partnerships not just transactions
The real gains come when you evaluate what truly matters to your business

Common Questions & Objections

Honest answers to what buyers often ask us

Augmented Negotiation is Purchasing 4.0. Gone are slow, sequential, and opaque negotiations. Welcome to synchronized, transparent, and stimulating competition - where your strategic co-pilot amplifies decision intelligence. Nestor is not designed to replace the buyer - it is built to amplify your judgment and expertise.

Quite the opposite. Nestor frees you from administrative tasks so you can focus on what truly requires human judgment: strategy, relationships, and complex decisions. Think of it as a decision-making exoskeleton - you remain in control, but with amplified capabilities. The tool handles the data; you make the calls.

Multi-criteria auctions actually help suppliers differentiate themselves beyond price. Your best suppliers can showcase their strengths in quality, service, and innovation - not just race to the bottom on cost. Suppliers appreciate the transparency and fair competition. Many tell us they prefer this approach because they can see exactly where they stand and what they need to improve.

Partnership is built on mutual value, transparency, and honest communication - not on avoiding competition. Nestor creates a fair playing field where strategic suppliers can demonstrate their full value proposition. You define the criteria that matter to your partnership: innovation, reliability, sustainability. The platform simply makes the evaluation transparent and objective.

Suppliers are invited to participate in timed negotiation sessions. They can see their competitive position (without seeing competitors' exact values) and submit improved offers in real-time. This creates healthy competition and allows suppliers to react to market dynamics, leading to better outcomes for everyone.
