Scenarios and procedure
Scenario 1: Quote prices or make deals with buyers on the platform
Over 200 large enterprises post procurement needs on the Cloud Business Opportunities platform. These needs include requests for quotation, bids, competitive price inquiries, and recruitment notices. If you have purchased the Cloud Business Opportunities product, you can quote on these opportunities. If you win a bid, the buyer may use the platform to place orders, make payments, and receive invoices.
The procedure is as follows:
Find suitable business opportunities. View the manual
Complete the online quotation. View the manual. Because of the buyer's internal processes, multiple rounds of bidding may occur. View multi-round bidding methods
Follow up on quoted opportunities to confirm the bid result. View the manual
If you win the bid and the buyer places an order, continue with the online transaction steps. View the manual. Note: The current order system relies on 1688. If you do not have a 1688 account, register one and activate the related services as soon as possible. On the My Profile page, attach your account, as shown in the following figure:
