are the dynamic sequel to electronic RFx: The reverse auction adds the negotiation aspect to the process.

The reverse auction offers a unique objectivity and transparency for buyers and suppliers. The participating suppliers can either see the best price quoted so far (price-auction) or their own rank/tier compared to the rest of the competitors (rank-/traffic light -auction) and can react online and in real-time. Other auction formats include ticker auctions (dutch / japanese). Boni / mali can be implemented as an absolute or relative comparison indicator.
