The SBF Global Sourcing Hub is an online, integrated sourcing system consisting of key sourcing e-tools that will help Buyers in Singapore automate and streamline sourcing processes for better process efficiencies, better access to supplier and buyer communities, better visibility and control on all sourcing activities. This cross-industry platform gives Buyers access to a Supplier Directory of over 100,000 categorized suppliers. Supplier’s TrustM@rk profile, credit rating and business-risk related reports can be purchased through a tie-up with Infocredit D&B. Suppliers have the capabilities to electronically submit responses to request for information, quotation, proposal and tender through the SBF Global Sourcing Hub. They also have the added advantage of receiving business opportunities alerts through Business Alert, a system that collects procurement and opportunities. The SBF Global Sourcing Hub was jointly developed by the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and Abecha Pte Ltd (Abecha), a specialist in Sourcing and Procurement services. This initiative is supported and funded by Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board (SPRING Singapore). The other partners included Intraco Limited and Infocredit D&B.
