Today, most purchases are made through the Internet. Therefore, it is not surprising that federal trading floors began to gain great popularity, in which all transactions are made without paperwork, that is, exclusively in electronic form. This type of earnings was especially liked by Russian entrepreneurs, since tenders are an additional way of earning. However, anyone can get an income by participating in such a project.
What are electronic trading platforms
ETP are sites created specifically for procurement using conventional laptop computers. Thanks to open access, any business entity can participate in the auction.
On electronic trading floors, all the necessary data on the product, as well as on the working conditions on the resource, are presented. Thanks to ETP, customers and contractors interact with each other through electronic document management.
By and large, electronic resources of this type can be compared to online stores where people offer or buy a certain product or service.
Types of ETP
Electronic federal trading floors are classified according to several criteria. First of all, the level of their influence on buyers and sellers is estimated.
ETP is also distinguished by the control method. Based on this parameter, the site can be:
- Independent . In this case, it will be regulated by the virtual operator.
- Clean . The service of such sites is carried out by licensed commercial enterprises.
- Industry . Most often, these ETPs are distinguished by their narrow specialization (for example, petrochemistry, defense, etc.).
By the number of participants of the site there are:
- Federal . In this case, the role of the customer is not an individual entrepreneur, but a government agency. Most often, federal trading floors are used for large government purchases.
- Commercial . Such resources are created both by suppliers and buyers or third parties.
- For private trade. In this case, private individuals who want to buy assets or sell them on their own become bidders. A good example of such a platform is the Ebay service.
There are smaller resources on which private trade is carried out (for example, online stores), as well as sites for the sale of private property of state debtors. Separately, it is worth considering a list of federal trading floors and commercial resources.
Federal ETP
On services of this type, the state budget is used as settlement funds. Based on this, all transactions are executed as state orders. Large businessmen trust precisely such electronic trading floors, since in this case they are guaranteed to receive the declared payments. Consider the top 5 federal trading floors.
RTS Tender
Every week, up to 20 billion rubles is paid at this site. This proves the popularity of this resource. To personally verify this data, it is enough to register on the federal trading platform and go to the "About the Company" section, where all statistics about the latest transactions are presented. Any user can analyze the situation in a particular region.
The main advantage of RTS is the ability to search by the specified parameters. For example, you can specify a specific Federal Law or other conditions.
To use the resource, it is necessary to install special software and certificates on the computer. The browser is configured automatically. For those who are not yet ready to personally participate in the auction, a training center has been created where you can undergo training for the customer or supplier.
Those who are interested in accreditation on federal trading floors, just go to the appropriate section, where you can also get an electronic signature or bank guarantees.
Single ETP
This site appeared in 2005 and initially it exclusively held trading auctions from the Government of St. Petersburg. After 4 years, the resource received the status of a single ETP and today it is included in the TOP-50 of the most successful companies in the Russian Federation. A variety of tenders and public procurement are carried out at the site.
ETP Sberbank-AST
This site was born a little earlier, in 2002. Today it is recognized as the most authoritative in its segment. Every year, up to 50% of tenders held by state customers are held at Sberbank-AST.
MICEX
The main advantage of this site is the ability to use the resource not only through the standard Internet Explorer browser, but also using Google Chrome. As well as at the previous ETPs, only state auctions are carried out on this site. However, for commercial entrepreneurs, an additional service from the MICEX was implemented under the name "Fabricant."
In all other respects, this resource is not much different from other federal trading floors. Here you can also get accreditation and an electronic signature sample.
Rosseltorg
The main founder of this electronic trading platform is the Bank of Moscow, whose share is 48% and the Moscow government (52%). Also here you can find a huge number of other state customers (Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Emergency Situations, etc.). In total, more than 3 million different companies can be found on the Rosseltorg website today.
This ETP also provides training services (distance or in-person). In addition, property trading periodically opens on the Rosseltorg website. Technical support of the service works daily without interruptions.
Commercial ETP
In addition to the sites described above, on the Web you can find a huge number of other resources that allow individuals to participate in tenders.
If we talk about the differences between such sites, then registration on commercial electronic exchanges is usually paid. In addition, large-scale customers who “prefer” large-scale purchases of a diverse assortment of offered goods are mainly “found” at sites of this type.
The system of commercial ETP helps plan future actions and collect statistics on already completed operations. Also, they can track the needs of customers and offer them the most profitable product.
In addition, on such electronic platforms you can participate in special contests and auctions, which are usually aimed at attracting new customers.
Also, many entrepreneurs are attracted by a wide client base, which is represented on similar resources.
If you properly position and promote your company, periodically expand the range of products, you can achieve excellent results. The more active the interaction with potential customers, the more profit you can get.
