Send the RFQ without sending the drawings to the wrong supplier
For discrete manufacturers, iProcure runs the RFQ as one event, from requirement to award. NDA status is checked when you pick suppliers, so drawings reach only the cleared ones. Each supplier is invited on their own and never learns who else is quoting. Quality and price are scored on a balance you set, not on price alone.

The problem it removes
What breaks today
Drawings go out before the NDA
Quotes are not comparable
The award is price-only
How it plays out
Discrete manufacturing: your week with iProcure
Monday: the NDA check at supplier selection
Choosing a supplier shows whether an NDA is in place and what they will receive. Drawings go only to cleared suppliers, and your NDA policy is a company rule, not a buyer's memory.
Tuesday: a model, not a spreadsheet
Must-haves such as certifications are pass or fail. Specification, test reports, lead time and warranty are weighted and scored. Prices arrive as comparable data, and you set the quality and price balance.
Wednesday: publish without a CC
Each supplier is invited on their own and never sees who else is quoting, or how many. You can check exactly what a supplier will see before anything goes out.
Thursday: engineering scores, prices stay sealed
Engineering and quality score their own parts while prices stay sealed from them. The chair settles disagreements and the award goes for approval from an email link. Evaluator scoring is shown on sample data today.
