Andy Monin, Vendormate CEO, Named Supply & Demand Chain Executive 2008 Pro to KnowLeading Business Magazine Presents Annual Listing of Top Supply and Demand Chain Industry Professionals
New York, March 17, 2008 – Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine, the executive's user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, this week named Andy Monin, Chairman and CEO of Vendormate, Inc’, one of its Provider Pros to Know.
The Supply & Demand Chain Executive Provider Pros to Know is a listing of individuals who have a vision for the 21st century supply chain and have personally helped clients apply technology or processes to modernize their supply chains.
Monin created and launched Vendormate because he recognized that the ever-increasing dependency on vendors as extensions of the business makes it critical to evaluate, screen, and monitor them with the same detailed attention paid to in-house staff. Today Vendormate provides business credentialing and compliance monitoring for highly regulated industries to ensure healthy supply chains.
A distinctive element of the Vendormate model is that the exchange is no longer “buyer beware.” The buyer doesn’t have to purchase, compile, and manage all the data required to credential a vendor for internal and government policy compliance. The direct cost of demonstrating qualification is paid by the supplier just as any other cost of goods sold. Vendormate acts as a trusted third party to verify, store, and monitor the required information. The transparency and level of trust between buyer and supplier is raised
"This year's Provider Pros to Know have shown themselves to be thought-leaders in their respective supply chain segments," said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "Their efforts in developing the tools and processes necessary for supply chain transformation, and in promoting new approaches to supply chain enablement, are helping raise Supply Chain's status within the enterprise and have earned them a place on this year's Provider Pros listing."
The full listing of the 2008 Pros to Know is available in the February/March 2008 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine and on the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Web site at www.SDCExec.com.
