Last week we shared our new customer focus for the New Year. Today we share few case descriptions.
Private marketplace solution for a Colombian institution
Our customer wants to increase the publication output in international journals with high impact, thus increasing the scientific impact of their institution.

For our customer, the institution, we offer a private marketplace solution that connects their researchers with thousands of international, academic experts and a management console that includes administrative and reporting tools.

Global outsourcing solution for a French university
Typically, universities in the EU are restricted in terms of doing business with companies, as opposed to freelancers, and certainly not those from outside the EU.
Peerwith can help by providing the platform to connect directly with freelancers on a global scale, while facilitating the transactions as a European (Dutch) company and a trusted third party. In practice, this means our customers can work with any of the freelancers from our vast network of high-level experts, including those from outside the EU. With Brexit on its way, and English language editing still the number one service provided, this may become increasingly important.
Key benefit: lower administrative burden by hiring freelance experts on Peerwith.

Private marketplace solution for a grant office at a Dutch research institution.
Writing, editing, or reviewing grant proposals is a job full of ups and downs. Quiet moments turn into whirlwinds of projects instantly. Some months are busier than others and Peerwith experts can help you accommodate these workload changes by virtually up- or down-sizing your support capacity.
Peerwith provides a private marketplace solution to several Dutch research institutions to facilitate the hiring of external freelancers by their in-house staff. Peerwith experts help them to manage unexpectedly workflow so that their in-house staff can concentrate on what they do best. The freelancers take care of the peak loads.
Key benefit: hire freelancers with a better price / quality ratio per project; lower the administrative burden by doing this on our platform; and increased transparency (alongwith the ability to select from a vast network of high-level experts).

Tendering solution for a German university
Procurement rules, either local of country-wide, might restrict universities from doing business with individual providers without micro-tendering. In practice, they can only accept a quote if there are others that are higher.
Peerwith can accommodate this process with a simple Request-for-Quote (RFQ) report on individual requests, or by providing a tendering solution as part of a private marketplace solution. In practice, this means multiple service providers will provide a quote and the customer picks the expert they want to work with, following their own procurement rules.
Peerwith is not a service provider, we are a solutions provider.
