The General Manager, VConnect, Mr. Deepankar Rustagi who
disclosed this at the weekend said that the new service is to facilitate
convenient and faster connection between consumers and suppliers through the
web portal by helping the consumer to get the best of bargaining and right
supplier for goods and services free of cost.
He explained that the service allows the consumers the
opportunity to source for suppliers and compare prices and make final selection
within the comfort of his or her home or office by simply posting the required
goods and services on VConnect portal.
What this feature does, he said, is that it enables users to
get quotation for goods and services required from different suppliers who are
already registered on the web portal by simply posting the requirement on the
website.
“VConnect then forwards it to relevant suppliers who get
back to the user with different quotations thereby providing an opportunity to
choose the best,” he said.
On how the service works, Mr. Rustagi said all the user
needs to do is to log on VConnect site, go to the ‘post your requirement’ page,
and enter whatever goods or services one needs.
He cited an instance with customized T-Shirt and leaves the
contact details. VConnect contacts the relevant suppliers and the user gets
feedback in no time at all.
Rustagi noted that with this new service on VConnect web
portal, the jobs of procurement professionals, administrators, marketing
professional secretaries, small medium business owners who usually have needs
to source for suppliers have been simplified.
