Software and service providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities.

    Training was planned out and super. Video training library online for my users to fall back on to refresh system is amazing - complete with 3 different Level tests to ensure agents are up to speed.

    Bryan B
    Purchasing Agent

    During COVID It was hard to do the training over Zoom. I think you do need in person training.

    David D
    VP Purchasing / Pricing

    Overall, very happy with our choice in Blue Ridge. We would not have succeeded during the Covid / Supply Chain issue world without this tool.

    Tommy T
    Senior Purchaser

    No particular downsides, but always a risk during downtime.
