TESTIMONIALS
Loved by businesses and individuals across the globe
After our previous supplier wouldn't adjust their prices according to indications from our models from Prognos, we made the decision to look for a new supplier. The funny thing is that the new prices, after the sourcing project, were exactly in line with what Prognos models suggested. This saved us about 20% within this major category.
