Offer Exchange

Offer Exchange is a software as a service (SaaS) platform for business purchasing. Companies use it to send requests for quotation, collect and compare quotes from sales representatives, and then place an order.

We built the platform in Next.js, React and TypeScript, with a .NET Core backend and a PostgreSQL database, deployed in Docker containers.

How a purchase works in Offer Exchange

A user sends a request for quotation for selected products to a predefined group of sales representatives. Each recipient gets a unique link by email to a quote form that collects all the information needed.

The quotes received go into a comparison view, where the user sets them side by side and picks the best ones. When the user places an order, the platform notifies the sales representatives of the purchase decision straight away.

Sales representatives and delivery addresses

Sales representatives are assigned to groups, which makes it easy to choose recipients for the next request. The platform also stores delivery addresses, so repeat orders are quicker and data entry errors are less likely.

Plans, limits and payments

The platform can be used free of charge within monthly limits on requests, recipients per request and products. Three paid subscription plans raise those limits. Billing and invoicing are handled by the Stripe payment gateway, which we integrated with the platform.
