SOL is an app developed for cooperatives to improve and secure their buying processes. It was first developed for the familiar farming associations located in Bahia and Rio Grande do Norte States, Brazil, so the organizations benefiting from Bahia Produtiva and Governo Cidadão projects could manage their buying processes in a secure and easy way.

SOL, Online Procurement Solution, is an app for procurements created from the collaboration between States, the World Bank and vendors to make public investments increasingly effective and transparent. Meet some of its features!
SOL allows the creation of a bid to take place in a few minutes. The entire process is digital, its interface is intuitive and all items available for bidding are previously registered in the app, making it easier to complete.
The need to send correspondence or face-to-face meetings between those involved in the bidding is eliminated, giving equal opportunities to suppliers from all over Brazil. All of them can register, access ongoing opportunities and submit proposals.
If two or more vendors send proposals with the same value, the application sends a notification to both requiring an update for the value of their proposals. Having a second tie, the application indicates the proposal first updated as the best option.
Due to the use of the blockchain, all information that passes through the app is recorded in its original state and is protected from edits. Together, blockchain technology and the option for the open source model ensure transparency and integrity over all SOL’s operations.
SOL can be used by vendors from all over Brazil. In order to use it, just download the app and register. The process is simple, fast and free. Participate the procurements processes!
