Nego / Platform
Reverse auction software where suppliers lower the price themselves
Invite your own suppliers to a live auction. They join with a PIN, with no account, and bid in their own language. Everyone sees the best offer and can beat it. At the end you know exactly how far the price fell, and the choice of supplier stays with you.
How it works
- Set up an auction in minutes. A guided 7-step creator covers what you buy, the starting price, the minimum bid step, overtime and invitations.
- Invite suppliers. Type their addresses or import a list from Excel. Each one gets an e-mail with a one-time PIN.
- Watch the bidding live. Suppliers see the best offer and go lower. A bid near the end extends the auction by the time you set, so nobody wins with a last-second bid.
- Decide. You get the ranking of offers, the bid history and a summary of the result, with exports to CSV, Excel or PDF.
What you get
No barriers for suppliers
Suppliers do not create accounts or go through training. They enter the PIN from the invitation and they are in the auction room. Less paperwork for suppliers means more offers for you.
97 languages
Every participant sees the auction in their own language. The description, questions, answers and terms are translated, so a supplier in Italy and one in Poland read the same conditions, each in their own language.
Overtime and an auto-bidding robot
Overtime extends the auction after every bid placed near the end. A supplier can also set a floor price, and a robot on the server answers competitor bids by the minimum step down to that floor.
AI that saves time
Describe the purchase in a few sentences and AI drafts the auction terms for your review. After the auction, AI summarises the result, names the best offer and calculates the savings against the starting price.
Integrations and security
Exports to CSV, Excel and PDF. On the PRO plan, also a read-only REST API and a webhook sent to your system after each auction. Each company's data is separated on the server, and every connection is encrypted.

Frequently asked questions
Do suppliers need to install anything or create an account?
No. A supplier gets an e-mail with a PIN and joins the auction in the browser.
Can I invite my own suppliers?
Yes. Nego is not a marketplace with unknown bidders. You invite the companies you want to work with.
Who chooses the winner?
You do. The auction shows the price, and you choose the supplier, taking quality, delivery and terms into account.
What kind of purchases is it for?
Purchases you can describe precisely and that several suppliers can deliver: packaging, raw materials, transport, components, repeat services. More in the guide Reverse auction: how it works and when it pays off.
