This web-based procurement solution was built to enable our clients to deliver cost savings to their customers and drive greater profits through more effective and efficient purchasing. DB Sourcing allows distributors to manage and compare quotes from vendors, convert RFQs into customer proposals, and seamlessly generate orders into their DemandBridge back-office system. Data replication to and from our Distribution products eliminates redundant data entry across systems so our clients can spend more time growing their businesses.

Our DB Sourcing software facilitates a virtual sourcing exchange where distributors and suppliers can form new connections and strengthen existing relationships. Distributors can leverage their combined spend along with their peers in the industry to lower costs, increase margins and take inefficiencies out of the process, while suppliers benefit from additional opportunities from their various partners through a centralized platform.
