PRESIDENT OF PARTSBASE
are always looking to help
partners that reduce the inefficiencies in the current
procurement process.”
Dennis Cowhey, President of Computer Insights,
said, “Whether your customer is going out to sea or into
outer space you can find a
supplier that has what they
need while you have them on
the phone. The new PartsBase
Connection will get you a list
of suppliers with the click
of a button. Faster answers
translate into more sales.”
