The idea of bringing it altogether under one platform, actually making easier for our products to be searched, and to be seen, and to be understood. We’re pleased we are on board already.
Colin Sinclair
NBS Source looks fantastic, really clear and really good user interface, and really good product information. It’s key for manufacturers to utilise it, add in the right product information and keep it up to date.
