Community

Fairpartners is not a company directory but a community for companies of all sizes, from all business sectors and countries. Freelancers, public authorities and nonprofit organizations are also welcome.

Fairpartners cannot guarantee business success but can help companies to interact.

You become a member of the community after you successfully complete the registration process. This process comprises verification of your data and solicitation of references.

Community members expect integrity from each other.

 
 
 

Company Profiles

Each company has a profile at Fairpartners. It provides information and serves as an anchor point for contacts and action.

The profiles have been designed to optimally support “finding and being found.” The 60-second elevator pitch is a key feature. Of course, the profile also contains tags. They function like tags in social networks.

Relevance is the key focus of the search function. Poorly maintained profiles gradually drop toward the bottom of the search result list whereas actively maintained profiles appear in the upper section of the list. You can save search results and create favorites lists of customers. Or suppliers. Or business partners.

 
 
 

Security

Security. What does security really mean for companies? It starts with IT security. Those who process third-party data and information carry a special responsibility. That's why we routinely check and maintain our Fairpartners systems and platform.

Security also means that the terms and conditions of business and the data protection policy are fair and ethical. This includes protection of intellectual property.

Audit compliance is also important. In a worst case scenario, the facts and circumstances of a case must be understandable. Who did what when and how?

 
 
 

Sending Messages

You can send messages to a single company, selected companies or to the entire community. With or without attachments.

By sending a message to an individual person, you can securely transmit confidential information and documents. You can rapidly and easily

inform other companies about innovations and other news by sending a message as a publicly accessible posting. Or send queries and obtain information during your search process.

 
 
 

Action Tools

Regardless of whether you're just looking for information, would like to purchase or sell products and services, reply to or issue requests for bids – these tools are based on the expertise we have developed during many years of successful operation in the world of procurement.

Whoever initiates an action decides whether to direct it to an individual company, a selected group or the entire community. Our tools support the entire process until a decision has been made.

 
 
 

Auctioneering

Auctions are replacing traditional price negotiations more and more frequently. When used correctly, they are efficient, fair and often produce spectacular results.

You can continue to conduct auctions using the old procurement platform for an interim period. As in the past, you can use reverse, Dutch and multi-round auctions for purchasing.

Coming soon

We are already working on a completely new auction module. The new module will also enable you to use auctions for sales, that is, to sell products and services by auction.

 
 
 

Best Practices

Best practices come from the community, not from Fairpartners. Whoever would like to share know-how with the community can do so by submitting it as a PDF and selecting appropriate search tags.

The document is then assigned to the corresponding company profile. Best practices enhance the name recognition and reputation of a company within the community. They also improve the relevance rating of companies in the search result lists.

Top-quality best practices are displayed on the platform in a context-dependent way.

 
 
 

The Procurement Platform

Fairpartners has a history behind it. Today's Fairpartners evolved from one of the leading European procurement platforms. Thousands of companies have organized their requests for bids and auctions with it during the last several years.

Our procurement platform remains fully operative.

In a new design, but the content remains unchanged. Of course, we will also keep our promise to store relevant data for an unlimited period of time.

It may be that the procurement platform will embark on a well-earned retirement and will become an archive at some time in the future. But if you browse through it, you’ll be reminded of how everything began.
