The asset manager enables the buyer to divide the asset into individual material categories and to pre-sell those categories before the actual purchase of the asset, thereby enabling the submission of a competitive overall bid.

Defining the Project timeline is an important step. The timeline defines the length of the bidding phases and provides a guideline for the participants for the time after the bidding phases. The final timeline is presented to you as a graph.

Defining project categories

The content of an asset manager project is structured into categories. To define an asset category, the category type, a title, and a description has to be entered. Asset Manager projects can contain an unlimited number of categories.

Select category participants

There are two types of participants for Asset Manager categories: internal and external participants.

Internal participants are participants from your own company. Only internal participants will have access to the internal bidding phase that takes place before the general bidding phase. They are selected on user level.

External participants are participants from other companies. They will have only access to the general bidding phase that takes place after the internal bidding phase. They are selected on company level, afterwards all users from a selected company with access to Asset Manager can participate in this category.
