What do you like best about Keelvar?

The tool is quite intuitive for the most part and once you know how to use it, can give you really powerful insights into the different sourcing options you have and what cost difference they would mean for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keelvar?

Some more advanced settings are difficult to figure out without an analyst from Keelvar being dedicated to your tender.

Some features (as for example the traffic light feedback system) can be set up via different places in the tool, which gets a little confusing over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keelvar solving and how is that benefiting you?

When you are preparing to make your final award or setting targets, Keelvar provides a quick view of your sourcing options and their financial impact. In between rounds, the tool gives you a ready file to base your negotiations on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keelvar?

- User friendly

- Ability to customize based on needs

- Pre-build scenarios and analysis functionality

- Validate bidder offers as they enter them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keelvar?

Does not yet capture the wide range of complexity in the logistics industry. Feels like there is still some way till it is the perfect tender solution. It needs some effort and creativity from our side as well for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keelvar solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows data validation checks at the moment of their entry. These checks can decrease the amount of work needed to deal with discrepancies as such. It also gives the ability to the bidders to realize how their data entry can be improved at the same moment. This can save us important time and resources in general.

Special credits needed for its ability to include bidder capacity constraints in its award optimization model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keelvar helps me to collate data from bidders in a more uniform manner. The system restricts non compliance which is good.

Keelvar also allows me to run scenarios to make decision making easier and faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keelvar?

So far with the experience I like everything... Maybe the bidder sheet is something bidders complain about... Its hard coded and so its hard for them to filter data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
