Here’s some extra information that we thought you’d find interesting.
Purchasing Department Implements Market Dojo for RFQs
Our purchasing department recently notified vendors that we are moving to Market Dojo as the primary platform by which we will send Requests for Quotations (RFQs). Vendors will receive an invitation from us to bid on an RFQ through Market Dojo and will be required to submit their bids via the Market Dojo portal.
The advantages of using Market Dojo include streamlining our sourcing process and allowing us to receive bids more efficiently. Most importantly, it helps us identify the best suppliers and negotiate the most favorable deals, ultimately resulting in lower costs for our customers.

Highlights from the International WorkBoat Show
Our team also recently attended the International WorkBoat Show, where we connected with industry leaders and explored the latest products for the marine industry. The event was a fantastic platform for networking, gaining insights, and discussing the future of the workboat sector with other professionals and experts.
We're excited to bring back the knowledge and inspiration from the show to continue driving innovation and excellence in our solutions for the marine industry. Thank you to everyone who shared their time and insights with us.
SEMA Show, Las Vegas, NV
Finally, our team of Will Isham and Simeon Stewart learned a great deal and connected with numerous vendors at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. SEMA is the leading trade event for automotive specialty products worldwide. This massive event is highlighted by the latest innovations in car parts, accessories, and performance upgrades. It served as a hub for industry professionals to connect, learn, and explore new trends.
Our time at the show was a success, filled with fantastic conversations and exciting discoveries that enhanced our knowledge and helped us to build valuable relationships. A special thanks to the team from Eberhard for an inspiring discussion about their latest groundbreaking products. We are looking forward to seeing what else the future holds.
