Cross-Wind Solution Advantages:

• Supplier Management
  With the Cross-Wind solution, you choose your suppliers – they are not dictated to you. There are no restrictions on the number of users your organization can have in the system, and no per seat license fees.
  
  
• Purchasing Power
  Utilize Cross-Wind’s power to generate an RFQ to one vendor or several. With its customizable pricing structure, you can entertain numerous bids, evaluate them in an “apples to apples” setting, and base your selection on price, quality, and relationship.
  
  
• Product Standardization
  Cross-Wind allows you to customize, then standardize templates to fit your business flow and to ensure each supplier is sent the same specifications. This eliminates rogue purchasing and guarantees your advantage of volume discounts.
  
  
• Flexible Solution
  Cross-Wind has the flexibility to fit your current purchasing process. Other products expect your process to fit their pre-defined system. Cross-Wind is completely customizable, giving you full control of your purchasing process.
