Ox International Launches Web-Based Sourcing Service

Ox International Inc. has launched Oxfind, a Web-based sourcing service targeted toward helping buyers, distributors and marketplace users procure industrial products. Houston-based Ox says the new business solution helps connect buyers to a fragmented network of suppliers. Buyers and distributors can submit product request forms and receive price and availability information for MRO products. Some 80 companies have made use of the Oxfind service since its January 2002 debut. It joins other Ox services, such as Ox Supplier Solutions and Content Transformation Services. The company says it will append Oxfind to its sell-side solutions, which focus on the creation of structured and searchable databases of product information in large online industry catalogs.
