MFG.com, Inc. Powers Up ProSupplier for National Design Engineering Show 2002
ProSupplier Helps Manufacturers Build Influential Web Profiles to Promote Shop Capabilities and run their own Private Marketplace for eBusiness
MFG.com is the premier public marketplace where Buyers source and procure custom manufacturing services from Supplier members via RFQs (Request for Quotes). During the procurement process, Buyers need to gather critical due diligence information on a prospective new Supplier. Based on industry and customer research, MFG.com's study revealed that a large number of Suppliers felt that a better web presence would help their chances of winning new business. The survey showed that most Suppliers had only a basic information home page or did not have a web site at all.
MFG.com ProSupplier is a progressive extension of MFG.com's powerful CPM (Collaborative Procurement Management) technology. ProSupplier provides the tools to create a private marketplace that can facilitate the RFQ process between a Supplier and their own customers and prospects, in a fashion similar to the MFG.com public marketplace. Suppliers directly integrate the technology into their own ProSupplier websites, where they can service their customers 24 hours a day, manage the business relationship, and establish an effective eBusiness. A ProSupplier web profile is designed to simplify the qualification process and help manufacturers provide strategic information for potential new customers, such as shop capacity, specialties and unique capabilities, quality certifications, associations, references, past jobs quoted, past jobs awarded by other marketplace participants and more.
"With MFG.com ProSupplier, contract manufacturers can instantly create a private online marketplace for their business, and expand their sales and marketing operations into a 24 x 7 enterprise," states Mitch Free, president and CEO of MFG.com. "Suppliers can manage and grow their business online by powering their own professional website with MFG.com technology. Using MFG.com ProSupplier, contract manufacturers provide detailed information on their capabilities with the objective of building awareness and raising the confidence level in Buyers looking to award jobs in their manufacturing discipline."
