PROCESS FLOW 1 / 6

Step 1: Register

Step by step

  1. 1

    Register as an Anchor Buyer

    Open Sign in, switch to registration and select Anchor Buyer. Enter your legal company details and email. Complete the confirmation required by the registration message, then sign in.

  2. 2

    Verify your company

    Open Company and upload constitutional documents. Review the company information extracted by Gemini. Wait for the platform review to show Verified before publishing tenders or making payments.

  3. 3

    Publish a reviewed tender

    In Workspace → Tenders, enter the scope or import buyer documents. Check quantities, currency, delivery region and closing time before publishing. Gemini assigns the tender category; review the resulting classification.

  4. 4

    Award and sign

    Compare bids while the tender is open. Award the selected supplier, open the resulting order and review the contract. Each party must sign before the buyer selects payment terms.

  5. 5

    Fund, deliver and reconcile

    Choose due-date payment, milestone escrow or netting. Follow the instructions shown on the order, track delivery evidence and payment status, and keep the Order ID with your records. Clicking Pay is an instruction, not proof that money has arrived.

Expected outcome

One traceable order with signed terms, delivery records and a confirmed payment status.

Important checks

  • Do not transfer money to details received in an external message. Confirm current instructions in the order or through private payment support.

Questions & answers

Can I publish before company verification?

No. Company verification is required for publishing tenders and payment actions.

Does the lowest bid automatically win?

A leading price is not an award. Review scope, delivery commitments and company information before selecting a supplier.
