One of the great innovations of the platform is the marketplace, that is inspired by e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Mercado Livre. Differently from other traditional bidding procedures, in this model it is possible to acquire goods and services for up to one year after the approved process. Suppliers may change their prices throughout the entire duration of the notice. However, the decision criterion will continue to be the lowest value on the closing date

Success stories
Among the success stories in the use of the services offered by Licitar Digital is the bakery and pastry shop Morro Vermelho, located in Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais. Before using the platform, the process to participate in government bids was much slower and more bureaucratic, what kept the place out of some auctions
"I believe there is a lot that can improve for us with this online bidding model", especially because digitalization is always growing and innovating. Deregulation is one of the biggest advantages, "a great advance", affirms Fernando Dumont Paiva Lopes, owner and responsible for participating in the bidding processes

The platform came to meet a need and helps us operate with a lot of peace of mind, "because we now have full support and clarity of the system", explain Julie Santos, responsible for the company's bidding processes

Also remembering that the company has the option to already attach the documents and just review and finalize the proposal. And since the system does not accept duplicate documents, the possibility of errors decreases, says Julie Santos
Agility as an ally

One of the biggest advantages of Licitar Digital is its speed, because the average time to complete bidding processes is 12 days. Through traditional means, a bidding process can take up to 120 days, for example
"We received various feedback from entrepreneurs on how the use of our system and digital transformation impacted their internal processes and gains". By providing a more democratic scenario for participation in bidding processes, we support all sizes of businesses and contribute to enabling more and more companies to get accredited with all the ease that technology can offer, without compromising safety, transparency and support from a skilled team, stone account
