The Pet Food Industry in Canada has experienced a substantial growth period in the last 10 years, growing to $2 billion annual. This growth has led to a huge demand in varying ingredients to make these products. This usually involves a series of phone calls to a number of vendors, stock inquiries, email quotations, follow ups on quotations, stock updates, purchasing, and arranging payments. The process is time consuming and frustrating for both vendors and buyers. Vendors do not want to continually create quotations and answer inquiries for products that make or may not sell. Buyers want a simple way to purchase all the ingredients they require in a simple reliable manner.
