A dollar spent in the community grows new dollars. Most communities realize that their local government and corporate dollars represent a major economic asset; but leaders remain powerless to influence the buying decision. A dollar spent outside the market may save cents; but the future value of that dollar to work in the community is lost. CommunityConnect is a unique approach to help you retain local dollars and maximize their value.

Many "buy local" initiatives have failed when their systems could not accommodate very specific buyer needs and they lacked decisive buyer/seller matching solutions. CommunityConnect engages public and government buyers. It has the solutions to effectively match local companies and generate measurable transactions.

Public agencies and corporations are constantly challenged to buy goods and services from local companies, minority-owned enterprises or other select vendor groups.

You can empower your local purchasing initiatives without adding new software, systems or staff. VendorConnect is easy, inexpensive, and will dramatically grow your contracting dollars with qualified firms. Our systems also help you track your purchasing by firm, department or commodity.
