The Problem
Every time your company grows - opens a new site, announces a project, or simply gets noticed - the supplier floodgates open.
-
Constant cold calls to reception
-
Emails from unknown suppliers clogging inboxes
-
No central place to track supplier interest
-
Good vendors get lost or missed entirely
-
Admin teams spend 10–20 hours/month just triaging enquiries
Without an announcement, 10-15 calls and over 30 emails per job title is received every day.
The Solution
We create and manage a professional portal where suppliers can see your procurement needs, and register interest, so you can:
-
Instantly direct all cold calls and emails to one place
-
Stay in control of your procurement process
-
Acknowledge & update every supplier — without lifting a finger
-
Review clean, organised supplier data only when you need it
-
Protect your team’s time and avoid missed opportunities
"Please submit via our supplier portal" becomes your new default — and we manage the rest.
The Benefits
Save Time, Instantly
Redirect cold calls and supplier emails to your portal in seconds - freeing up hours of staff time every week.
No more inbox triage, call forwarding, or follow-ups. Just clean, structured submissions when you're ready.
Recover Work Hours
The average business spends 30–40 hours/month managing supplier enquiries over the phone and email.
With Sourcesmart, your team gets that time back — without hiring, training, or building new systems.
Reduce Admin Costs
Every hour your team spends handling cold enquiries costs your company real money everyday.
Sourcesmart replaces up to £1,000/month in lost productivity — for as little as £149/month.
Source On Your Terms
We file, manage, and track supplier interest so you’re never starting from scratch. We handle all communication.
When it's time to issue an RFQ or shortlist vendors, you're already organised and sourcing on your terms.
Compared Alternatives
Solution | Average Monthly/Project Cost | Staff Time | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Your Team | £1000 in time of staff | 10-20 hrs/month | Staff know the business and the needs | Daily interruption, inbox noise, scattered emails, takes time away from core roles, does not stop the repeated cold calls, emails. |
Generic Contact Forms / Email Addresses | £0/month | Untracked | Simple set-up, low to no cost | Often little structure, no acknowledgement so suppliers continue to chase with calls and emails. Often seen as a brush off and won't submit this way. |
Procurement Consultant | £1,000 - £3,000/project | 5-10 hrs/project | Good for complex procurement projects, and often know suppliers and industry. | High cost, not scalable or cost efficient for ongoing supplier intake. |
Tender Boards | £200 - £500/month | 5-8 hrs/month | Broad reach, suppliers are familiar | Often not industry specific, lacks control and filtering and public facing which will drive cold calls and emails. |
Sourcesmart | From £149/month | - 1 hr/month | Fully managed by a real team, centralised intake process, suppliers are kept informed, 24/7 access, reduce cold calls and cold emails significantly. | Monthly subscription but cost effective, requires light onboarding |
