Winners Announced for Source through Supply Chain Innovative Products Awards
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (PRWEB) October 09, 2018 -- SIGInnova, in conjunction with its partner Sourcing Industry Group (SIG), has named the winning products to be presented during the SIGInnova Product Forum taking place at the SIG Global Executive Summit October 15-18, 2018 in Rancho Mirage, CA. With a mission of helping F500 procurement executives create the future of procurement, SIGInnova works with SIG’s member companies to identify areas where technology and solution gaps exist and then meet those needs with innovative, emerging products. For products selected for implementation, SIGInnova facilitates buyer-provider teamwork to reduce risks and expenses, and potentially improve performance.
Joining the four innovative products in SIGInnova’s initial cohort last March, the following (in alphabetical order) were selected for their creativity and positive impact on source through supply chain during SIGInnova’s emerging innovative products evaluation process:
ConnXus; Business connections are often hard to make due to data inconsistencies, RFP complexities, conference costs and lack of centralized business information. ConnXus empowers global procurement by changing the way buyers and suppliers connect. The ConnXus platform allows global diverse and non-diverse suppliers to create and maintain secure profiles in one place, streamlining the sourcing process. myConnXion makes supplier management and risk simple, through mobility. http://www.connxus.com

Each company will present the features of their product to an audience of procurement executives who have expressed interest in working with earlier stage products, assisting companies in product refinements and potentially being adopters of products that are of significant interest to them.
“We’re thrilled to add ConnXus, Mareana and SirionLabs to SIGInnova’s growing family of innovative products that have the potential to significantly upgrade the performance of Source through Supply Chain, accelerating improvements and the pace of change.
