SupplierEvaluations.com launches new on-line community of buying professionals Announces beta program; FREE MEMBERSHIP, online management of suppliers and structured performance evaluations featured.

October 1, 2009 - Bedford, Mass: SupplierEvaluations.com today launched a new web site to create an online community of purchasing and supply chain management professionals dedicated to collecting and disseminating supplier performance evaluations based on the peer-to-peer input from its members.

Unlike existing information sites and online marketplaces, SupplierEvaluations.com builds upon peer-to-peer sharing of structured supplier performance evaluations between sourcing professionals, focusing on overseas sourcing where visibility and knowledge is limited to direct experience. SupplierEvaluations is independent impartial and does not endorse suppliers in any way. Suppliers can participate by registering and inviting their clients to evaluate their performance and sharing this information with other potential clients. Both buyers and suppliers are integral part of the community.

"We saw a severe lack of visibility expressed by buyers when evaluating or looking for sourcing overseas�, said Valery Zelixon, Founder and Managing Partner. �We saw an opportunity to connect the experience of buyers with their existing suppliers and their quest to find new suppliers. Using peer-to-peer internet community site is a perfect way to address this need. In doing our research, we also saw a need to provide buyers, especially in small to medium sized businesses, a way to manage their supplier performance data online, which is something we have added for free as a service to our community."

SupplierEvaluations.com offers free membership, free online management of your suppliers, community Forums, blogs, news, and private messaging between members. The site also features the Supplier Performance Evaluation Process^(SM), an easy to use, objective and structured approach to collecting and comparing supplier performance across multiple suppliers. Notification tools enable the buyer to be kept up to date with evaluations from a list of existing and potential suppliers.
