"We utilize our in-depth knowledge of the dairy industry, and of strategic sourcing and group purchasing, to meet the needs of our customers" says Dave Laukat, CEO, ecMarkets. "We recognize that every situation is unique and, therefore, demands a unique solution. This is how we are able to add tremendous value. In addition, our experienced operational consultants are able to tailor every program we manage to meet the needs and demands of our clients."
The typical client is the CEO, CFO, or COO of a member dairy. Ultimately, it is the person responsible for reducing their companies' material costs and managing business processes more efficiently and effectively. By tapping the expertise and technology of ecMarkets, Master Dairies members are able to routinely achieve significant savings. In addition to the proprietary procurement technology that ecMarkets uses to execute reverse online auctions, each member has access to a team of individuals who are well versed in writing effective requests for proposals, qualifying suppliers, and managing complex specifications requirements. To this end, ecMarkets enables Master Dairies members to achieve great successes with multiple suppliers, unique specifications, and disparate geographical locations. When sourcing specific items that are not appropriate for ecMarket's proprietary web-based systems, ecMarket's leverages its deep relationships with respected national vendors to achieve economies of scale that drive benefits not only to the customer, but also to the vendor.
