Once you send an eQuote to a Supplier, that Supplier receives an "eQuote Invitation" e-mail with a link to the eQuote Request. An example of this e-mail is below. This link is only good for one eQuote and is invalidated once the Supplier submits his or her pricing. The Supplier does not need to have Quick Bid installed to process an eQuote.

Note

On Center Software cannot re-send this e-mail to the Supplier - if the Supplier has not received the eQuote request e-mail, see Related articles for steps to Troubleshoot eQuote issues. If there is a failure (eQuotes is unable to send the e-mail), you will be notified within 1-2 business days by our Support department. If you do not received anything from On Center letting you know that an eQuote failed sending, please contact your Supplier to verify the message hasn't been deleted, ignored, or sent to Spam.

When the Supplier clicks the hyperlink within the e-mail message, a Web page similar to the one below opens in their default Internet browser.
