Trusted by procurement teams worldwide

We were comparing supplier quotes on a shared Excel sheet that three people edited simultaneously — it was chaos. AuraVMS put every quote in the same format, side by side, and the arguing stopped. We close RFQs in two days now instead of two weeks.

Gunnar Sjoberg

Procurement Manager · Metal fabrication · Ohio

I run a 40-person manufacturing unit. Coupa quoted us $70,000 a year — that's more than my procurement headcount costs. AuraVMS does 90% of what I need for $15 a month. The ROI isn't even a question.

Devansh Kothari

Operations Director · Electronics manufacturer · Texas

The anonymous bidding feature is the real differentiator. Before, suppliers knew they were the only one quoting and priced accordingly. Now they see a competitive process and we've seen prices drop 8–12% on average across our top 20 SKUs.

Shubhangi Deshpande

Head of Procurement · Pharmaceutical company · Mumbai

My suppliers don't need to sign up for anything. They get a link, they fill in their price, done. That was the dealbreaker with every other tool we tried — suppliers just refused to create accounts on yet another portal.

Tomas Hrbek

Purchasing Manager · Construction supplies · Florida

We manage three construction projects simultaneously, each with different material requirements. Before AuraVMS, I had a separate spreadsheet per project and spent Fridays consolidating. Now each project lead creates their own RFQs and I see everything in one dashboard.

Bridget O'Sullivan

Project Director · General contractor · Colorado

Verified customer

The WhatsApp integration is huge for us. Half my suppliers in Latin America don't check email regularly but they're on WhatsApp all day. Quotes come back in hours instead of days.
