Instant Quotation

Fully approved print suppliers are inducted into the ‘Communisis IQ’ Instant Quoting system.  Prices from the tender/e auction form the ceiling costs for the future.

Once in IQ, the supplier owns his prices in the system and quotes automatically against any job within their capabilities.  Each job is mini-auctioned, and suppliers still need to win in competition against other approved suppliers.
