For Clients

The selection process, fitted to you.

The Evaluation Matrix is where your team turns the vendors that fit into a decision: score them against the same criteria, run demos on your own scenarios, compare five-year cost, and record the choice. It replaces the generic RFP that sends one questionnaire to every vendor, because everything in it starts from the operation your assessment documented. It is free.

Which vendors are in it?

The vendors that accept your match appear in your Evaluation Matrix. You can also add a vendor by name. If we cover it, PreShiftIQ checks it against your stated requirements and tells you where it falls short, never a score, before any request is sent; the vendor receives your request as a match, and you see its scorecard and contact once it accepts. If we do not cover it yet, we keep the name and may invite the vendor to join, without naming you.

How does your team score?

Start from our catalog of criteria, each with what a 1, a 3 and a 5 mean, or write your own, and weight them for your operation. Invite the people who should have a say, from your company or outside it, and assign each one the categories they know best. Each person scores privately until they submit; then the team sees where it agrees and where it splits, and the lead records an agreed score with its reason.

How does the process run?

  1. Set target dates for each stage, from qualification through award, and get a reminder before each one.
  2. Where we hold demo scenarios for your market, generate a demo script from your own assessment answers, so every vendor shows your scenarios on the same terms.
  3. Send questions to the vendors that accepted, and keep every answer with the evaluation.
  4. Enter each vendor's quote and compare five-year cost by category, side by side.
  5. See whether the leader holds when any one category's weight is halved, doubled or dropped, then mark your choice.

Who sees what?

PreShiftIQ never shows vendors your scores, notes, quotes or reasons. A vendor sees only the questions you send it and, once PreShiftIQ confirms your contract with the vendor you chose, that it was not selected, never why. You can download the decision summary, or share it by email or by link with the people who sign off, and revoke a share at any time.

What does it cost?

Nothing. The Evaluation Matrix is free for clients, like the assessment and the match. Vendors pay one published rate, only when you pay them, and what a vendor pays never reaches scoring. See How We Are Paid.
