“EDS^IQ is the smarter way to purchase.”

Ed-Data's cooperative bid service can now be accessed via EDS^IQ on the web. By adding the power of the internet you will have a complete bidding system that will benefit secretaries, teachers, supervisors, principals and the business office.

You use your PC daily to make work more manageable. Why not use it to make next year's bid season the most efficient yet? The "booklet" system is efficient, but we wanted to make it better. As a result we created an online, state-of-the-art requisition system that benefits the entire district by eliminating paperwork, and allows complete access to bid prices.

Teachers benefit....

• Quickly & efficiently modify last year’s requisitions, instead of creating new ones from scratch.
• The system can be accessed from within the district or from home. A user may view, create, and modify reqs from any location with internet access.
• All items in our database are already bid so you know exactly what your order will cost.

Supervisors & Principals benefit.....

• The approval process has never been easier thanks to the system's ability to manipulate data with a powerful report generator. Manipulate key data and review totals by location, account code, user, etc.
• Complete your approvals in one sitting or do a little at a time. The system tracks which reqs are approved and which are pending.

The Business Office benefits.....

• Get a summary of your total supply budget or dissect it by account code, user, location, etc. with a few clicks of the mouse.
• It's easy to track the status of approvals progress.

Secretaries benefit....

• There are no more order booklets or verification reports to distribute, track and collect. See exactly how far along your staff is by simply logging in to EDS^IQ.
• All paperwork is eliminated.

We've built EDS^IQ on the strong foundation of our traditional cooperative bid service. All aspects of the traditional service remain, such as total district control over budgets and POs, competitive bid pricing, product packaging by teacher, full support of our customer service and management team, and so on.
