Fast and Clear Negotiation, from Price to Delivery
Negotiation in KanbanBOX isn’t limited to just price; it also includes crucial details such as quantities and requested delivery dates for closed orders.
The ability to precisely define the delivery date, especially in case of delays or critical periods like holidays and company closures, helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures all parties are aligned.

Creating a negotiation proposal is easy and quick. Simply open the card where you want to start the negotiation, select “Negotiation,” and fill out the form in a few simple steps.

Proposal Management: Transparency and Traceability
Every proposal, counterproposal, or acceptance from the counterpart is automatically recorded and displayed in real time.
The cards under negotiation are highlighted with a colored mark, providing immediate visibility into what has been agreed upon or what is still awaiting revision. No more searching through emails or separate documents: the platform provides all the information in one place, without ever leaving the workflow.
Additionally, with KanbanBOX, you maintain a complete history of all negotiations, including those that were successful, rejected, canceled, or received a counterproposal. This allows for easy consultation of past negotiations and provides valuable data to optimize future procurement strategies.
