In doing so, we’ve listened closely to manufacturers and have sought their input every step of the way- which is exactly why we are launching a new version of the platform. We’ve incorporated manufacturers input and are making it easier for them to be able to search both locally and nationally for qualified suppliers who meet their needs.  Suppliers will also be able to instantly respond to RFQ/RFP/RFIs from manufacturers within their region and across the nation.
