Industry Publication Profiles OrderFusion as B2B Platform In Touch With Suppliers

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- OrderFusion, Inc., a pioneer in eCommerce software for supplier enablement, has been selected as one of Managing Automation's "25 Emerging Software Companies to Watch" in the July 2000 issue. OrderFusion's business-to-business (B2B) sell-side e-commerce platform, Orders of Magnitude, supports the entire selling process on the Web, from the presentation of product information, to sales, order management, support, and sales analysis.

Managing Automation Magazine evaluated several technologies in the B2B market from which 25 were chosen as up-and-coming technologies for suppliers. Out of the 25 chosen, only five were profiled, including OrderFusion. The five profiles typify the emerging generation of Web-based suppliers.

"There are dozens of new software vendors in all the markets Managing Automation covers," said Erin Callaway, executive editor of Managing Automation. "We created the Emerging Software Companies list for two reasons. The first was to let our readers know that there are compelling alternatives to incumbent solution providers. The second was to make them aware of companies like OrderFusion that specifically target the manufacturing industry."
