Definition Of eBazaar

• Like the name suggests, E-Bazaar is an electronic
  bazaar or marketplace for enabling online bidding
  and purchases. It is an e-marketplace where
  buyers are able to place / receive quotes on
  orders directly on the net.
• DirectBiz buyers can use this section to invite
  quotations from the suppliers, review the
  quotations and place orders with the most
  suitable bidder.

B2B Scenario in eBazaar

• Enquiries may be placed to supplier/s.
• Selected suppliers can then quote for these
  enquiries.
• Buyers would then be able to choose the Best
  Price / Delivery Date and confirm the orders.

5
B2B2B Scenario in eBazaar

• Buyers are also able to place enquiries direct
  with offices.
• Offices then use their knowledge of suppliers
  working with them to forward these enquiries to
  selected suppliers.
• The office then awaits bids from suppliers and
  forwards a consolidated, modified bid to the
  buyer.
• The buyer then awards bids to the supplier/s
  directly.

B2B B2B2B Scenarios

• It must be noted that both the b2b and b2b2b
  scenarios may occur at the same time as buyer can
  choose BOTH offices and suppliers when placing
  enquiries.
• DirectBiz buyers will then receive bids from both
  office/s and supplier/s.
• In the b2b2b scenario, the office acts as a
  conduit for the buyer, helping in the choice of
  suppliers most suited to fulfill the order.

Offices role in aB2B2B Scenario

• The office, first acts as a supplier accepting
  enquiries from buyers. It then forwards the
  enquiries to selected suppliers and receives bids
  from them (acting like a buyer in this phase).
• It then modifies the bids before sending a
  consolidated bid to the buyer (acting like a
  supplier).
