Come Along With Us On Our Product Innovation Journey

We are excited to let you know about a new "Onboarding" badge that will enable you to view a requested provider's onboarding status from the "Providers" page for a project.

Once the provider is successfully added to Globality, you will be informed via email about the newly matched provider, driving transparency.

In an effort to improve your scoping experience, we have made some enhancements to the way you search and select options for your custom questions within the brief.

You will immediately see a list of all the search results that you can select from, and will be able to search by any portion of the text such as a single letter or number. 

In an effort to continue to deliver exceptional user experience, you will see an update to the roles in Globality and a new "Clients" page. We are streamlining existing roles and introducing two new account-level roles: Provider Administrator and Team Member.

These new capabilities will enable you to view and manage the clients you work with on Globality projects in one central place, driving further compliance.

Feature available starting November 16, 2022.

To improve your experience and make it clear what sections are required when you are building a proposal, you will see a banner at the top with the number of required sections, as well as an asterisk (*) by each section title.

You will also get a more prominent alert highlighting what needs to be filled out if the proposal is submitted without completing the required sections. 

We are excited to give you a heads-up about an important enhancement to the email notifications you receive when you are invited to a project opportunity on the Platform.

The emails have been simplified and co-branded with client-related information such as the company name, sender’s name, and project name, which will ensure you do not miss out on project opportunities.

Feature available starting November 17, 2022.

We are excited to give you a heads-up about a new functionality, Brief Outline. Once you start scoping your project requirements, you will see a high-level overview of what sections you can expect Glo to cover throughout the scoping process.

This will enable you to plan ahead to get required information and invite your peers to answer questions more efficiently. You can also monitor and track your progress in real time with a new side panel view.

Glo nicely formats and packages all the information real-time in the Smart Brief, which is easily accessible at any time from the main menu.

Feature available starting October 18, 2022.

After submitting a description of your sourcing need, Glo analyzes your response, automatically chooses the project's subject matter for you, and serves relevant questions to help you scope your requirements.

To ensure you go down the appropriate scoping journey, you will now see an enhanced UX when confirming or adding the service offerings where you can change the project's subject matter, if needed. Glo will then prompt you to select the relevant subject matter for your sourcing need.

We continue to streamline the user experience to help you be more efficient. Going forward, you can view and search for projects via the “Projects” tab in the main menu.

As a reminder, this Projects List View page also lets you sort and filter projects so you can quickly orient yourself on each project’s phase to take key actions.

We are excited to share that you now have greater flexibility to create and manage structured requirements when scoping with our new feature, Proposal Requirements Editor.

Glo makes it incredibly easy to build, edit, format, and order your requirements, whether you want the responses back from suppliers in a free text format, multiple choice, or matrix. You will immediately see the value when you are able to compare these supplier responses side by side in a visually elegant format, driving better evaluation.

Check out this new guide to learn all about creating and submitting proposals on the Platform so you can maximize your opportunies to be selected for projects.

We are excited to launch Webhooks, which can be easily created, configured, and managed within our Platform.

Once Webhooks are set up, they will automatically give real-time notifications of specific events (i.e., Brief completed, Award completed) that occur in Globality, which can be leveraged for several use cases (i.e., creating contracts on your end). 

You now have the option to select "Request for Quotation" as a specific sourcing type, giving you a streamlined experience when scoping your requirements.

We have launched an Integration Microsite webpage that showcases our integration approaches and how Globality connects to your existing workflows.

Globality’s assessment feature empowers you to assess suppliers efficiently and accurately, allowing you to select the best supplier with more confidence, increased transparency and compliance, without bias. 

We’re excited to share that this feature has been further enhanced and now users can focus more on assessing suppliers on criteria they are qualified to rate and simply skip the rest, driving flexibility and further efficiency.

Watch this 7-minute demo video to get a deep understanding of how Globality works to source your needs across all your strategic spend to drive substantial savings, efficiency, and meet your ESG goals.

We are excited to share a new functionality that enables you to download all documents that come with supplier proposals. The files are elegantly organized for you based on your preference by suppliers or by proposal sections.

Globality works with you to structure permissions based on your internal organizational structure and workflows, driving compliance and increased confidentiality across teams.

Access and visibility to projects will be based on pre-determined rules (e.g., who gets access to view and join a given project, who in Procurement gets automatically added to a given project), as well as project attributes (e.g., category, region, business unit) that a user is in.

We are excited to share that you can now experience an easy and organized way to leverage your standardized templates (e.g., pricing templates and other questionnaires) within the Platform to request information from suppliers in a specific format.

Glo will automatically serve category-specific templates and ask you to choose the appropriate template for each project, or a new template can be uploaded, making it a part of the overall requirements. Glo assists suppliers by guiding them to complete the templates and ensuring they are submitted as part of their proposals.

Once proposals are submitted, you can easily access these files in a central, organized manner when you are ready to do deeper analysis and evaluate suppliers.

We are excited to share that suppliers can now submit more than one proposal for your projects with different approaches, timelines, or fee structures to potentially highlight cost-savings for you.

You can view and compare proposals by a single supplier, or choose to compare proposals across suppliers, enabling you to make the best decision when evaluating proposals. 

You now have the ability to view the contact information of the stakeholders at the supplier’s organization who receive the Smart Brief when they are invited to a project opportunity.

This lets you know who the leads are from the supplier side and you can leverage their information as needed. 

You can now include attachments when broadcasting a message to suppliers which enables you to format supplier communications the way you like it. This broadcast functionality drives collaboration, efficiency, and compliance for you and your team.
