These innovations have provided customers with industry-leading supply flexibility, helped position De Beers as the market leader in rough diamond auctions, and acted as a catalyst for change in industry sales practices.

GNM have been implementing the Curtis Fitch system and are now entering a phase of aggressively using the system to upload all contracts from within the business and to implement workflow authorisation for the sign off of savings attributed to spend.

Curtis Fitch has provided South West Water with a fully functional customised electronic sourcing platform with a friendly user interface for both internal and external users.

Tesco Bank recently concluded another successful eAuction using CF Source auctions, supported by the expert Managed Event team at Curtis Fitch. The support received from Curtis Fitch significantly increased the ease with which this eAuction was built, conducted and closed. Curtis Fitch also provided training directly to the eAuction participants prior to the auction commencing which all the participants found to be extremely beneficial especially as a number of them had not been involved in an eAuction before. On the actual day of the eAuction Tesco Bank had the benefit of having a Curtis Fitch Account Manager being present to advise on potential tactics and to ensure the whole auction ran smoothly. This combination meant that, even on an already competitive initial RFP response, pricing improved on all aspects that were auctioned.

In the last year we have been amazed at the way Curtis Fitch engage and involve their customers in their development roadmap. They listen and they react to what their customers want in a structured, process driven way. What’s more the results are visible. They deliver what they set out to deliver and that is really important.

Very easy, professional and comprehensive. Given my lack of resource I didn’t have as much time to focus on this auction so I was relieved when Curtis Fitch said they would contact the supplier, explain the process and sort out preparation for the auction with them. I had very little input throughout the process.
