Sheet 01 · The job today

A directory finds names. An RFQ tool sends emails. Nobody runs the whole job.

The sourcing work most Australian SMEs actually do lives in three places that never talk to each other.

01

Spreadsheets that compare by hand

Quotes arrive in different units, currencies and Incoterms. Someone normalises them at 11 pm, and the reasoning is gone by the next round.

02

RFQ threads spread across inboxes

The version the supplier quoted against is not the version you approved. The disclosure you did not mean to make is already out.

03

Directories with no evidence behind the listing

A listing says capacity 25 t. Nothing shows the audit, the certificate or the person who stands behind it. You cannot tell a claim from a fact.

Sheet 02 · Real interface · sample data

One Trade Card. The evidence, the owner and the next step are always on the same page.

This is the live Buyer Space during step 03, shown with sample data. Nothing here is a mock-up.

Sheet 03 · How a Trade Card moves

Nineteen guided steps, five stages, one record.

Every step names its evidence, its owner and the receipt it creates. You can stop at any stage; the record stays complete.

01–02

Discover

Set up your company and PIC. Write the demand once, with units labelled.

03–10

Match and diligence

Suppliers attach capability evidence. Compare on the same sheet, not in your head.

11–16

Terms

RFQ with a disclosure boundary, quotation, negotiation, contract.

17–18

Delivery

Execution and acceptance with receipts on both sides.

19

Outcome

Trust eligibility, correction and reusable evidence for the next job.

Sheet 04 · What Buyer Space does for you

Built for the person who has to answer for the purchase.

Buyer Space · you

Your side of the card

  • 01Write one demand record. Units, quantity, delivery window and quality references are fields, not prose.
  • 02Set what a supplier may see before they quote. The disclosure boundary is yours, per RFQ.
  • 03Compare quotations on one sheet with the evidence each supplier attached, not a summary someone wrote.
  • 04Every consequential action carries a human seal. If you did not approve it, it did not happen.

Seller Space · your supplier

Their side of the same card

  • 01A supplier in Vietnam or Southeast Asia keeps one capability record and attaches their own sources: certificates, capacity, references.
  • 02They see exactly what you disclosed, and nothing you did not.
  • 03They quote against the approved RFQ version. No drift between what you asked and what they priced.
  • 04Evidence is theirs and stays attached. Bixsourcing does not inspect or certify suppliers; it keeps the sources in plain sight so you can.

Sheet 05 · AI in the margin

AI prepares. You decide.

Chat and Voice read the active record, prepare analysis and explain evidence. AI is an action mode inside the work. It never takes commercial authority, never signs, never pays.

What the margin does

A supervisor coordinates seven working roles. Each one drafts, checks or explains; a person approves.

SourcingNormalises your demand
MatchingExplains why a supplier fits
ClientKeeps your PIC context
DealPrepares RFQ and terms drafts
LogisticsChecks route and timing gaps
FinanceReconciles amounts and units
StrategyFlags risk to review
SupervisorRoutes work, records receipts

What the margin cannot do

  • Invent a supplier or a price. Every figure points to a source on the card or is marked missing.
  • Approve, sign, pay or release anything. Consequential actions require a visible human seal.
  • See what the disclosure boundary hides. The margin reads the same record you allowed.
  • Replace your judgement. It shortens the preparation; it does not shorten the decision.

Sheet 06 · Trust, stated plainly

Four things you can check on every record.

Source

Each claim shows where it came from: a document, a person, or “not yet provided”. Missing evidence is written as missing, never hidden.

Receipt

Every step commits a versioned receipt. You can read what changed, who changed it and when.

Permission

Buyer and Seller see the actions their role owns. Nobody can act on your side of the card.

Disclosure

What leaves your company is what you set. The boundary is on the RFQ itself, not in an email.

Sheet 07 · Why the corridor, why now

The Vietnam corridor is busy. The tooling around it is not.

Market figures are third-party and dated. Bixsourcing publishes no user, supplier or transaction counts during the experience period.

Questions buyers ask first

Straight answers.

Is this just another supplier directory?

No. A directory ends at the listing. Bixsourcing starts at your requirement and runs the whole job on one Trade Card: matching, diligence, RFQ, quotation, contract, delivery and outcome, with evidence attached at each step.

Can the AI make up a supplier or a price?

It is not allowed to. Every figure on the card points to a source, and anything without a source is marked missing. AI prepares drafts and explanations in the margin; it does not create suppliers, quotes or commitments.

Are suppliers verified by Bixsourcing?

No, and we say so. Suppliers attach their own evidence: certificates, capacity records, references. Bixsourcing keeps that evidence in plain sight and versioned so you can check it. Verification, inspection and audit remain your decision and your partner’s job.

What does it cost?

During the experience period it is free: no plan selection and no payment details. Plans will be published before the period ends, and nothing you record now is lost when it does.

Who sees my requirement and my pricing?

Only what you disclose, to the suppliers you disclose it to. The disclosure boundary sits on the RFQ. Your company records stay in Buyer Space; a supplier never sees your side of the card.

Does the platform hold money or run escrow?

Not during the experience period. Payment and settlement happen between you and your supplier through your own channels. Settlement tooling is designed but not switched on, and we will not describe it as live until it is.

Two-week experience program

See whether Bixsourcing fits the way your team buys.

Create an account, enter Buyer Space and write your first demand record. If the way it holds evidence is not how you want to buy, you have lost an afternoon and nothing else.
