By just eliminating repetition (and automating the rest) and replacing paper with a single web-based tool used by both buyers and suppliers, they've created a win win solution. Vendor Registry is focused on creating this win win solution that generates new revenues for vendors and suppliers, saves time for everyone, and decreases costs for government and institutional purchasing departments. After all, they are spending their taxpayer dollars.
