Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating the complex ETRM landscape raises many questions.
Here is how we ensure a transparent, efficient selection process that respects your time and budget.
Do you partner with specific software vendors?
No. We are 100% vendor-agnostic. We do not accept referral fees or favor specific platforms. Our only objective is to identify the solution that best fits your business requirements and budget.
Can you help us write the RFP?
Yes. We create a customized RFP/RFI based on your specific business goals, not a generic template. We then manage the entire distribution process and collate all vendor responses for you.
How do you handle vendor demonstrations?
We don’t settle for standard sales pitches. We create custom scripts and scenarios based on your actual workflows, forcing vendors to demonstrate exactly how they would handle your specific trades and logistics.
How much time will this require from our internal team?
We handle the heavy lifting—including RFP creation, vendor communication, and scheduling. We only pull your stakeholders in for critical requirements workshops and targeted demo sessions, allowing them to focus on their daily jobs.
Do you help with the final contract?
Yes. Once a vendor is selected, we provide license and services contracting assistance. We review the scope of work and commercial terms to ensure you are protected before implementation begins.
What happens after we make a selection?
We don’t just hand over a report and leave. We can transition directly into the implementation phase, acting as your project manager to ensure the vendor delivers exactly what was promised during the selection.
