iTradeNetwork, a global provider of supply chain software for the food and beverage industry, has recently designed and launched iTradeMarketplace, a new service for buyers, suppliers, packaging companies and industry associations to address the food supply chain trading gap created by COVID-19 in order to facilitate new trading partnerships. To respond to the critical need to connect global food supply with demand, iTradeNetwork is offering iTradeMarketplace for free to any company in the food and beverage supply chain.

“Technology can be a powerful ally in times of crisis, and we are putting our platform to use in a new way that helps companies in the food and beverage supply chain navigate these uncertain times. The agility of iTradeMarketplace empowers participants to move at the speed of the crisis and respond to local, as well as global, food supply chain needs,” said Rhonda Bassett-Spiers, CEO of iTradeNetwork.

“At PMA, we appreciate the opportunity to partner with iTradeMarketplace to give our membership another important resource to help them work through the industry impacts of COVID-19,” said Cathy Burns, CEO of the Produce Marketing Association. “The connections made through this platform will help alleviate massive supply chain challenges brought on by this crisis, and we commend iTradeNetwork for addressing these needs and collaborating to ensure our industry’s great products are available to consumers.”

iTradeMarketplace is open to any company or industry association in the food supply chain.
