We are pleased to announce that eMaryland Marketplace has integrated Achates Systems
IntelliCost® WEB software on its web portal to acquire and analyze pricing,
optimizing contractor, vendor and supplier selection. The use of IntelliCost®
by eMaryland Marketplace will accelerate bid submissions, reduce bidding errors
and provide buyers and procurement officers with the ability to quickly and efficiently
analyze vendor and contractor prices, cost and scope. The use of IntelliCost®
will benefit contractors and vendors by providing faster feedback on bids and
closure of business.
The IntelliCost® software system is a breakthrough improvement in procurement,
risk and change management productivity providing the information and analysis
to verifiably and significantly reduce costs and avoid errors.
IntelliCost® automatically analyzes contractor and vendor pricing submissions
and bids, streamlining the selection process, by detecting and pinpointing cost
and scope variances, exceptions and bidding mistakes that lead to change orders
and delays.
IntelliCost® prevents costly 'scope creep' and provides for targeted value
engineering by automating cost and scope historical change management, detailing
what changed and what effect the changes had in budget estimates and pricing,
eliminating often incomplete and inaccurate manual spreadsheet entries.
IntelliCost® lets you know exactly what you spent, where and why you spent
it from start to finish, for smarter, faster and better decisions.
