Online purchasing system for marine services launched
(Feb  8  2010)

PartfinderMarine has launched a new on-line service connecting buyers of commercial marine parts and services with industry vendors.

The company aims to make the trading of information and goods a simple and secure process, integrating a ‘smart’ search engine with relevance ranked results and a transaction history that keeps tabs of sales and purchases.

PartfinderMarine provides pay-as-you-go membership, with five membership plans available (requiring a registration fee). These plans come in different membership grades which can be upgraded as required.

Usage is based on making purchases with ‘credits’. The company says that registration will be free for the first 100 suppliers, with a special offer of 70 free ‘credits’ upon successful application.

“From the outset of this project, I have listened to the concerns and feedback of real-world users on competitive trading platforms,” said James Phillips, creator of the system.

“Over many years I have learned which features clients need in an on-line trading platform and I have ensured these are built into the DNA of PartfinderMarine.”

“I now have every confidence that it can quickly become the leading player in the maritime marketplace for online parts and services trading.”
