MFG.com gained first-in-market status with its Web-based marketplace connecting suppliers with companies purchasing custom manufacturing services. This eProcurement web site is consistently progressed with sophisticated new features like NDA for Collaborative Procurement Management (CPM).

Buyer members of MFG.com have the ability to upload their company's non-disclosure agreement to MFG.com as a part of their member profile. This customer-driven enhancement is fully customizable. The Buyer can easily enable their non-disclosure agreement when posting a Request For Quote (RFQ). Once an NDA is enabled by the Buyer, suppliers must read and accept the NDA before they have access to the RFQ's file attachments.
