Grapevine, TX —Â In today’s fast-paced business environment, supply chain management professionals must work efficiently to vet suppliers, build short lists, meet supplier diversity goals, and find the exact products and services they need.

It also offers multi-page, information packed company profiles to aid in shortlisting. And smart RFI forms help advance the procurement process.
