Streamline communications between your teams to quickly source innovative products and find reliable suppliers with Trace One E-sourcing

These days consumer trends change in a blink of an eye, that’s why getting your new product to market on time and for the best price is crucial but developing a new product means scouring tradeshows for new suppliers, launching and managing time-consuming RFX processes, and communicating with team members through multiple unsuited platforms. All of which slow down your product development process.

Furthermore, CPG retailers are under tremendous pressure to meet consumer needs and stay ahead of consumer trends. Consumers have never been more conscious regarding the quality of products they buy. This means retailers need to find new products that reflect the consumer lifestyles without lowering their margins and bargaining power.
