In continuity with its route towards the innovation of the company’s products, FBK is proud to present the new brand and logo CM|XS Suite for its Tender Management solutions, that will be operational since the month of November 2018.

There has been a lot of water under the bridge since FBK started to operate effectively in the market, and so many things have happened, starting with the constant evolution of Tender&Offer scenario, which has moved over the years from local to a global approach, enabling customers and professionals to consistently monitor the dynamic purchasing trend of the payers.

This evolution mentioned above also coincided with a re-statement of the internal Tenders & Offers processes, where, beyond the standard tender office activity, other company areas are involved, as the sales department, pricing controllers and other strategic resources. FBK has closely followed these changes and partially encouraged them, as projecting new components able to bring greater added value within the end-to-end process.

When further necessities came forward along the tender journey, as of this moment we decided to make our platform forceful in order to face new market challenges, and to properly respond to those issues we have invented CM|XS (Contract Manager eXtensibility System) a powerful platform that includes many different components perfectly adjustable for various operators and users, where each of them, as part of the same process within a next-generation partnership, shall find any ad-hoc solution to their specific needs and requirements.

Consequently CM|XS Suite is therefore the new “state-of-the-art” in the tender segment, where the concept of eXtensibility allows a much wider variety of options and functionalities in the spirit of an integrated framework and in connection with other company stakeholders for achieving top company issues as firm objectives and goals, with definite timescales.
