Society procurement: WhatsApp vs Plinth
| WhatsApp / paper | Plinth | |
|---|---|---|
| Quote deadline | Honour system | Server-enforced; auto-closes RFQ |
| Comparison | Manual spreadsheet | Built-in table with delta-from-lowest |
| Member visibility | After-the-fact verbal brief | Published feed + poll + award reason |
| Award | Committee handshake | Poll ratification + audit log |
| Contract | PDF on someone's laptop | Signed on-platform with milestones |
MyGate and ApnaComplex offer vendor directories and payments — not poll-linked RFQ-to-contract governance. Plinth's differentiator is democratic accountability baked into vendor selection.
