SupplyWorks to Sponsor ProcureCon 2005

Conference on Direct Materials Procurement Attracts Senior Manufacturing Executives

BEDFORD, Mass, 05/23/05 — SupplyWorks, Inc., the leader in direct materials procurement and replenishment solutions for discrete manufacturers, today announced that it signed on as an official sponsor of ProcureCon 2005, to be held September 19-22, at the Camelback Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona. ProcureCon is the only annual conference of its kind held in the U.S. focused exclusively on direct materials procurement and strategic sourcing.

Now in its fourth year, ProcureCon has evolved into an influential forum where senior decision makers convene to learn about world-class solutions and explore fresh approaches to direct materials procurement, replenishment and strategic sourcing strategies. There are multiple panel sessions and case studies on two main conference days, as well as two strategic summits that will focus on supplier relationship management and change management for procurement organizations. SupplyWorks executives will attend the conference as participants, as well as to demonstrate how manufacturers can use SupplyWorks’ Web-based procurement and replenishment solution to reduce inventories, improve supplier visibility and collaboration, and lower direct materials costs.

“SupplyWorks is sponsoring ProcureCon 2005 for the second consecutive year because we believe it is the premier event for dialog with key decision-makers in direct procurement for the manufacturing sector,” said Dave Wangler, president and CEO of SupplyWorks, Inc. “Most manufacturers are still carrying more inventory than they need to, largely because they are not communicating and collaborating efficiently with their suppliers. Attending ProcureCon enables SupplyWorks to engage one-on-one with companies that are serious about improving supply management and streamlining and automating their incoming supply chains.”
