It now offers a web-enabled version of its Purchasing Management software, called ePMX.<\/p>\n<p>While its customers include household names like Avon Products, Inc. and Casual Male Retail Group, Bellwether also does well in the mid-sized company niche serving colleges, credit unions, hotels, and more similarly-sized organizations. Bellwether claims that one of its competitive advantages is its affordability and, based on their success among the non-Fortune 500, that\u2019s likely to be true.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll notice the Bellwether image up at the top right of this blog.
