Industry electronic procurement catalogs “TimesFirst Suppliers”are primarily intended to accentuate the competitive advantages of suppliers’ products. They clearly convey suppliers’ unique selling points. Conventional paper-based procurement catalogs were traditionally used as guides by professional buyers, and are trusted by buyers all around the world. TimesFirst has developed electronic procurement catalogs, which are an extension of the strengths of conventional paper-based procurement catalogs. These e-catalogs are distributed to professional buyers all around the world. Electronic procurement catalogs are procurement catalogs in an electronic format, and are extensively used in product promotion and presentations in global trading activities. They enable international buyers to find out more about products in a graphic manner and define their procurement needs. Moreover, electronic procurement catalogs not only feature the visual impact of conventional catalogs, but also contain a number of superior functions that simply cannot be emulated by conventional catalogs, such as interview videos, custom buttons, folding page corners, animations, background pictures and music, page-turning sound effects, view counts and other personalized elements. These elements deliver users with a superior audio and visual experience. Furthermore, electronic procurement catalogs significantly reduce the time that buyers spend waiting for information.

At present, industry electronic procurement catalogs “TimesFirst Suppliers” are distributed to more than 600,000 professional buyers worldwide in the form of CD-ROMs and on the Web.
