Market Overview
While the online B2C markets of the 1990's may not have fulfilled their promise,
the true opportunities offered by the Internet have only begun. Of these,
perhaps none are greater in terms of potential cost- and labor-savings than
those offered by the B2B procurement market.
From all indications, it is a market that is enormous, urgently needed and
largely untapped. Indeed, it is estimated that more than 95% of Fortune
500 firms still use paper-based ordering systems. And while these firms
realize the impact this could have on their operations, they balk at the
expense associated with implementing or developing automated systems themselves.
The question is where can businesses find a solution to such dilemmas?
The answer, for many, is FASTXchange. Our internet-based procurement automation
system was specifically created to work with a firm's existing business
relationships and rules, helping drive savings directly to their bottom
line. In fact, according to a recent study by Killen and Associates a
modest 5% improvement in supply chain procurement expenses can result
in a 28% increase in corporate profits, with no required increase in top
line sales. Alternately, a corporation would have to increase their sales
by a factor of 10 to achieve the same level of savings.
Easy to implement and use, FASTXchange has established a proven track record
for achieving substantial reductions in the cost and inefficiencies associated
with procuring goods and services, as well as savings in the costs of
goods procured.
