Overview

A browser extension for vendors on SAP e-bidding portals: prepare the bid in advance, and it is saved the instant the bidding window opens.

The problem

  • E-bidding windows open at a precise moment, and a manual submission loses seconds that matter.
  • Re-typing a prepared bid under time pressure invites mistakes.

The approach

Move the preparation out of the critical moment. The vendor prepares the bid calmly; the extension watches the window and saves it the instant it opens, with the vendor still in control of the final confirmation.
