Good that you have years of experience and a working business in the field. I definitly makes you trust-worthy already!

is your platform free to use for buyers and sellers? also do you have sellers that signed-up on your platform? more sellers means more chance of buyers to use your platform
Hi, the platform is free to use for buyers in general, and sellers pay a very small fee relative to the inquiry worth for each bid they place. Usually, it's the buyers who we pitch to first, and when buyers start to source items with inquiries on the platform, sellers join to place their bids. It's a business opportunity exempt from any marketing or sales costs that they otherwise wouldn't have access to and it doesn't make much economic sense for them not to join. Larger enterprises who decide to use the platform (these are businesses that we sell to door-to-door or through our ERP partners) also bring with them a large pool of their existing vendors that get onboard, and who at first only participate at auctions (inquiries) of the buyer who invited them, but soon reach out to other buyers who source similar items and products. There is a big incentive for buyers to start using Procurean, because automating and optimizing non-optimized procurement can result in lower procurement costs (up to 30% on non-optimized purchases) and lower transaction costs (up to 90% by automating human work).
thanks for the detailed response. building such platform would take time as you need to gain loyal buyers also. but once it takes off and your customers are satisfied they will bring more customers as word of mouth is a good marketing technique

Gepom has hundreds of registered partners, but who are they?

The team has many years of experience, it's worthy of trust! Do you have a charity campaign and takeoff?

Are you making your own instrument for an easy blind reverse auction?

Regarding the time terms, when you're going to release the final version, 2019?
You can expect Beta version in Q4 2018. The progress of the platform will gradually increase, as shown on the road map. But yes, you can expect the final version in 2019.
Your timing is rather fast for such a global project! Let's hope everything goes according to the plans.
We've been developing GEPOM (the product from which we're pivoting) since 2013, and Procurean has been in active development since late 2017. This has been a long time in the making.
How is Procurean different from Gepom?

As I see from the roadmap you will start the market expansion from Europe. Good choice, you can't make it global overnight, so moving at a steady speed from the domestic market is smart!

Sure, most often we tend to spend ridiculous amount of time to create, check, re-create, sign the papers… It's too much of an effort sometimes that you even question the whole idea.

Lucky you, drinking beer to set the trust level isn't the worst part!

Are you planning any buyback in the future?
May 26, 2018, 11:45:04 AM
Very promissing. Can you also provide some educational block for new businesses entering the global market?
Why don't you google it??

I guess there should be some fees for both parties to make it fair.

Here is a fun article on Medium about the procurement in a blockchain world: https://medium.com/@bloomingminds/bitcoin-blockchain-and-donuts-7f3374d9cb55 I though that would be funny for you to see)) I guess many of the issues might be solved with the Procurean!

Do you plan an airdrop/bounty etc?
Yes, we are releasing our airdrop program next week! So stay tuned, to get some early PAN tokens.
We will not be having any bounty program.
And how about a referral? It usually works a lot better than bounty, since you will pay for actual results. And word of a mouth in business world is a very efficient marketing tool.
Referral wil be incorporated in the Airdrop. So for every invite through your link, you will be rewarded with additional PAN tokens.
sounds interesting!

How are you going to build the community? As far as I see you need to have many business members so that it stars working.
We usually first get businesses by using the blind reverse auction which is a very simple procurement scenario. After businesses are comfortable with the core functionalities and scenarios we offer and help them to more deeply integrate with Procurean and start digitalizing processes before the actual inquiry happens. Also, we are going to provide wholesome conversational support in the application with automated triggers to help navigate and use the interface, and we will also support in-house support and onboarding for bigger businesses. Our ERP partners will also help us service the part of the user base that comes from their channels.
Great to see that you've though through your plans!

Onboarding for new businesses and their first user experience is one the most important ones for us. We are developing many different scenarios based on user company roles, their mindset, profiles, knboarding journey, their needs and what they will be trying to acomplish within their exploration phase and then by implementing Procurean in their business process.
UI will be self-explanatory but there will be educational blocks as well as simple journey guides and examples on how to complete a desired task inside the application. We will not throw evertything at the users and hope that everythink makes sense to him, even though the learning curve will be smooth and quick and that the user will be able to make use of every function from the begginig.
If you like to know more, let us know
