Circuit City and VCF Launch New Vendor Extranet

Circuit City increases collaboration between the retailer and its suppliers with the launch today of a new vendor extranet. Developed and integrated with the Vendor Compliance Federation's (VCF) Compliance Clearinghouse, Circuit City has created a unique, easy-to-use Web site to enhance communication with its supplier base.

"By raising the bar in vendor communication, we can further strengthen the level of synchronization between ourselves and our vendors. Our vendor partners are important to effective supply chain execution, and we believe strong communication is the cornerstone of a strong relationship," said Victor Engesser, vice president of vendor relations at Circuit City.

By integrating their extranet with the VCF Compliance Clearinghouse, Circuit City suppliers will have the ability to easily access information regarding Circuit City's vendor requirements. "This joint initiative marks a step forward in collaboration between Circuit City and its vendors," says Mark Jones, VCF's co-managing director.
