RTLS supplier evaluation: what to score.
Six areas decide most awards. The scoring guide gives why each one matters and two questions worth asking every supplier on your shortlist.
We keep profiles of the main technology providers and set the weights with you for your site.
The six areas
- Technical fit: whether the technology works for your use cases, on your site, not in a demo.
- Commercial value: the price you sign is rarely the price you pay over five years.
- References: a live site like yours tells you more than any presentation.
- Integration: the link to your business systems is where many projects stall.
- Security and compliance: your IT team, your regulators and your staff will ask before go-live.
- Service and support: the system has to keep working after the project team has gone.
Different sites, different shortlists
The same six areas produce different shortlists for different sites. We set the weights with you.
We keep profiles of the main technology providers, and we speak to live customers before a supplier reaches your shortlist.
Frequently asked questions
Is the scoring guide independent?
Yes. We work for you, not for the technology providers. No supplier can buy a better score.
Do you publish a supplier ranking?
No. There is no single best supplier. The right one depends on your site, your use cases and your systems, which is why we set the weights with you.
Can you score our shortlist?
Yes. As part of supplier selection we score the responses with you and give a written recommendation. Book a free scoping call to talk it through.
