By just-food.com | 19 April 2000
supplyFORCE.com(SM), a premier provider of fully integrated, B2B e-commerce, supply chain management solutions for the procurement of industrial and construction supplies, announced that it has been named a preferred supplier under a multi-year agreement with Nestle USA. Under the terms of the agreement, supplyFORCE.com will provide Web-based procurement capability of all Pipe, Valves and Fittings supplies to Nestle's U.S. facilities.
Nestle's 30-plus U.S. facilities have handled the purchasing process locally in the past.

The facilities covered in the agreement include manufacturing facilities in the Beverage, Confections & Snacks, Prepared Foods, PetCare, Nutrition and Food Services divisions of Nestle USA. supplyFORCE.com's services will include: negotiating national pricing with manufacturers, insuring consistent pricing from multiple suppliers for Nestle customer locations, establishing and assuring local delivery performance metrics, ensuring customer satisfaction and providing local technical support.
