(PRWEB) October 14, 2005 -- In response to the enormously positive results from their online B2B marketplace, SourceHorizon, Inc. announces the release of Version 2.5 of SourceAuthority.com - one of the nation’s leading internet marketplaces for custom manufacturing.

With more than fifty improvements in both form and functionality, SourceAuthority.com now offers a full range of sourcing services that empower manufacturing buyers and engineers to acquire custom manufactured parts and services with greater efficiency and cost effectiveness.

The SourceAuthority.com marketplace has rapidly gained industry recognition as manufacturing buyers report outstanding results in their quest to find and qualify critical sources of supply, reduce costs and improve their products. Version 2.5 of the web interface enhances current functionality by providing machine shops, job shops and other custom manufacturers with access to new opportunities and time sensitive information -- further enabling them to become more responsive, efficient and profitable.

“Our goal is to empower manufacturing buyers and suppliers with quick, easy-to-use tools for streamlining the Request for Quote (RFQ) and supplier discovery process. Version 2.5 of the website further enables these companies to manage RFQ creation and publishing, engineering data exchange, collaboration and due diligence,” said Brian Self, COO of SourceHorizon, Inc.

Unlike other marketplaces, the company supports purchasing goals by providing audited information on regional and national suppliers, using its proprietary technology to create highly competitive bidding environments, and augmenting buyer resources with project management and engineering support services. “By providing customers with the mission critical information, technology, and expertise necessary for success we help manufacturers establish mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers. Quite simply the results are lowered costs, reduced inventory, and improved quality,’ said Self

These services are made available to global buying audience through the company’s website at www.sourceauthority.com.

In the wake of our nation’s worst, natural disaster, SourceAuthonty.com would like to announce a program to raise funds for the victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Tina. For every project, with a value of $2,000 or more, that is placed with a supplier through the marketplace, SourceAuthority.com will donate $25 to the Samaritan’s Purse Hurricane Relief Fund.
