Gary Hess, Purchasing Director at Quality Chekd, stated, “This relationship with BuyerLink Networks will keep Quality Chekd on the cutting edge of providing e-commerce capabilities and services to our members. We had been exploring which e-commerce platform would be best suited for our business needs, and BuyerLink showed us how we can satisfy our member’s current and future needs.”
“BuyerLink.com is ideally suited for cooperatives such as Quality Chekd,” said Rich Witherspoon, BuyerLink Networks’ co-founder and vice president of marketing. “It saves time and money, and it provides valuable information. The BuyerLink network also allows the buyers to strengthen their long-held relationships they have built over years of doing business with their suppliers. It’s what we call ‘relationship e-commerce(TM).”‘
BuyerLinkDairy.com allows suppliers in the network to configure their sites to accommodate every customer individually. When a buyer goes to a supplier’s site in the network, he finds a customized catalog and order forms designed for Quality Chekd. This flexibility in the system keeps business running smoothly, building trust and value.
The BuyerLinkDairy.com Website is hosted by Sand Hill Systems, a technology partner of BuyerLink Networks. This means that Quality Chekd does not have to buy expensive hardware or software, nor does it have to hire additional technical personnel to install and support the system. The system is easy for Quality Chekd’s members to use. They need only a desktop computer with a Web browser.
