Part 2: Browsing, posting, and matching offers
The second article in the series dedicated to presenting the benefits of using the Trade Point Poznań offer and information system introduces features related to browsing available offers, posting your own offers, and matching and subscription mechanisms. The Trade Point Poznań system (www.poznan.tradepoint.org, www.tpp.com.pl) provides free access to a database of offers posted by companies from all over the world. There are no fees for viewing or posting offers. The only condition that must be met to receive access to TPP is registration in the system, at least as a TPP1 User, and logging into the system.
Browsing offers
All offers available in the TPP system are classified by thematic categories. To display a list of offers regarding a selected range of products or services, after selecting the browsing option available in the “new purchase offers” or “new sales offers” menu fields (fig. 1.), you must choose the appropriate thematic category. After making the selection, a list of all currently available offers will be displayed on the screen. The list contains only titles, which are available to all internet users, even those not logged in. However, the offer details are provided only to logged-in system users (fig. 2.). They contain information regarding the subject of the offer, a description, and the offeror’s contact details.
The article comes from the magazine “e-Fakty” 4/2006.
