Supplier Outreach & Advocacy
The first year of the pandemic the Datalou team contacted 400+ industry suppliers assisting agencies and their clients in determining the needs and viability of the supply base. These efforts are on-going through partnerships and projects with certification councils and industry organizations directly connecting suppliers to sourcing professionals and helping to expand and grow their business and client relationships
Events Management
It’s one thing to have a list or search for suppliers using a database. Nothing replaces direct contact even if it’s done remotely or virtual. Sourcing efforts are best done by interaction between the buyer and seller whether it’s during a speed round of meetings, supplier showcase event or one-on-one matchmakers. Our team of experienced events planners and outreach professionals are here to help. We can plan, contact, recommend and manage events to help meet your increasing diverse supplier needs.
