What is a Reverse Auction?
A reverse auction is a type of auction in which the roles of buyer and seller are reversed. In an ordinary auction, buyers compete to obtain a good or service by offering increasingly higher prices. In a reverse auction, the sellers compete to obtain business from the buyer and prices will typically decrease as the sellers undercut each other.
It is a competitive purchasing process that achieves true market value. eBridge provides a platform which allows you to take advantage of a savings that could not be realized in any other way.
