About BBCN
BBCN is an Internet-based marketplace allowing competitive purchasing between automotive dealerships and their supply partners. BBCN provides a secure, efficient and centralized online process designed to measurably reduce expenses and increase net profits for all participants. At BBCN, users may harness the power of a vertical portal that effectively matches buyers and sellers within the automotive dealership industry.
Dealers who sign up with the new online service will be able to purchase virtually all dealership supplies with a simple purchase description. Suppliers who have pre-selected those category identifications will be notified by e-mail of the pending purchase information, and will then be able to bid on the items. Dealers may request bids, either with full identify, or as a 'blind' bid.
With an official launch date coinciding with the National Automobile Dealers Association meeting Jan. 21-24, 2000 (Booth 271) in Orlando, the Web site has already attracted the attention and investment of some of the nation's most powerful "mega-dealers." http://www.bbcn.com
