“We figured out a better way to do these larger events. And because the bids weren’t so painful, we were able to go more frequently. So we started to do many more events throughout the course of the year.”
“Interaction with our suppliers is all within Keelvar's tool. Two years from now when we go back into this year's event, all the details will be in there. Everything that you need to know about that event is captured in one place.”
