March 28th, 2012 - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania
Nearly seven years after its initial debut, WhyAbe.com reinvents itself with a completely redesigned interface, new tools, new features and improved navigation. WhyAbe provides free electronic sourcing tools to buyers of all sizes from all industries, and provides suppliers with free marketing tools and the ability to win new business opportunities. Launched in 2005 by Source One Management Services, LLC; WhyAbe.com was designed partly with the intention of upsetting the existing eSourcing tools marketplace, which were traditionally so expensive that only the largest corporations could afford them. Now, in 2012, seven years after most industry pundits said it would not succeed, the site is still growing its user membership and has seen adoption from corporate, residential and government users alike. WhyAbe continues to grow its feature set and tool portfolio. The enhancements and features are added based on the demand of its user community. The most requested features are added first, and this newest release is just the initial debut of new functionalities that will be released on a much more rapid schedule moving forward.
