Company

Category One was created in early 2003 in response to a need for better, far more affordable, easier-to-access sourcing and purchasing technology. Based in San Francisco, the Company’s driving principle is to make on-line Sourcing available to any company that wants to become leaner, meaner and more competitive by cutting its supplier costs today. This thinking has made Category One the leading provider of Sourcing on-line.

What does that mean to you as a customer?
