a daily basis. We are making or saving people money by creating a marketspace within which the most appropriate suppliers can connect with the right projects, and producing software that improves how people work.

Core Functions:

- Purchaser and Supplier Matching — The system uses keywords, budget and past performance of suppliers on similar projects to match up the specific requirements of the purchaser for a job with the most relevant suppliers who have tendered for this project.

- Production Scheduling — The software is the first specifically designed to support the 3D animation production process, breaking each project into milestones. It automates all of the tasks normally managed through email and 3rd party graphical programmes, providing a framework and making the animation production process easier, smoother, and quicker.

- File Storage and Management — The software is also the first for managing and storing animation files on the cloud. Animation files can be many gigabytes in size, and prior to this managing large files was difficult and cumbersome.

- Image/ version correction — The system is constructed around a tool that allows for corrections to scenes and objects to be indicated easily without the use of 3rd party programmes like photoshop. This correction is integrated into milestone and stored as an audit trail.

- Secure Project Financing — Tender3D is being built around Escrow functionality. The system will transfer the entire price of a project at the outset, and release funds as milestones are reached.

- Extensibility — The system is being built upon an API- which permits 3rd party developers to build onto and extend the core functionality of the software
