RealObjects PDFreactor aids the digitalisation of administration within the cosinex procurement management system

The cosinex procurement management system enables the procurement process to be handled electronically, from needs assessment and designing the tender procedure through to administering contracts concluded on the basis of electronic files. The cosinex procurement marketplace supports electronic transactions and communications between public-sector clients and providers as part of awarding public contracts.

The market for solutions to meet these requirements quickly proved straightforward. Ultimately, only two specific providers made the cut for consideration. Our hugely important licensing requirements in particular prompted us to opt for PDFreactor by RealObjects, rather than its Australian competitor, in the spring of 2021.
