GlobalAutoIndustry.com Launches New RFQ Response System

TROY, Mich.--Nov. 22, 2005--GlobalAutoIndustry.com, the leading worldwide portal and intelligence source for the automotive industry, today announced the launch of a new RFQ response system as part of their web-based supplier community. GlobalAutoCommunity now allows automotive suppliers worldwide to post and view RFQ's.

GlobalAutoCommunity also allows suppliers to collaborate, track, and manage their own international supply chain as well as meet other suppliers from around the world - all this in a secure environment, from any computer, anywhere in the world.

GlobalAutoCommunity's new RFQ response system provides a secure environment to post RFQ's to specific suppliers or to all suppliers in the directory space. Data is exchanged between members on an invitation basis only, so no information is exchanged unless members want it to be.

"Following up on the feedback received by those suppliers who used the original version of GlobalAutoCommunity, we have a new RFQ response system so suppliers worldwide can post and view RFQ's", states Michael DaMour, Director of GlobalAutoIndustry.com, adding "with the targeted RFQ feature, suppliers can decide whether they want to show their RFQ's to all suppliers or just to the specific ones they choose."

Since the launch of GlobalAutoCommunity's new RFQ response system, besides a 30-day free 'test-drive', GlobalAutoIndustry.com has also been offering suppliers demo sessions in the Detroit area as well as online training sessions for suppliers located worldwide.

Here are other benefits GlobalAutoCommunity offers:

-- directory lists of automotive suppliers and global experts

-- targeted search features
