Global Supply Net Introduces janCentral.com

Posted on July 24, 2000

Global Supply Net (GSN), a developer of niche website, has announced the launch of janCentral.com, an online resource for the janitorial-sanitary (``jansan'') supply and service industry. Tailored to the needs of the jansan industry, janCentral.com provides both commerce and content.

``janCentral.com is the complete e-business solution for any company involved in the jansan industry-whether manufacturer, distributor or end user, allowing for each to develop a sophisticated online presence,'' said Stephen Odzer, CEO and co-founder of GSN. ``janCentral.com will give member companies the opportunity to realize substantial cost savings and enhance customer service through a powerful and customizable e-commerce platform, while creating a hub for the exchange of products, services and information.''

The site's commerce features will allow sellers to liquidate excess stock, while buyers of jansan products or services can request quotes from suppliers and service providers. janCentral.com will also offer members access to industry-specific resources, including industry news, trade calendars, articles on topics of interest, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), educational opportunities, cleaning tips, product announcements, books, videotapes, and software.

``janCentral.com was designed from the ground up to support existing business relationships within the jansan industry, rather than to rearrange or squeeze them,'' said Odzer. ``It makes sense because due to commercial custom, government regulations and end-user needs, the janitorial supply and services industry is very localized and relationship-based. GSN recognizes the importance of these relationships and janCentral.com seeks to reinforce them rather than threaten them.''

Update: The janCentral site is no longer available.
