Adds Merchant Card Services, Payroll and Corporate Purchasing Cards to Purchasing Solutions 

LOUISVILLE, KY (June 1, 2010) – BidBridge, a proven eAuction services provider for the public and private sectors, today announced it will rebrand as eBridge Business Solutions to more fully encompass the company’s service offerings, which now include merchant card, web-based payroll and corporate purchasing card services, in addition to reverse auction purchasing solutions. The new services will extend eBridge’s suite of fully managed business solutions, adding value for established and growing businesses.

“While we were successful in the purchasing space, we recognized a growing need in the marketplace to support daily functions outside of core business product or service offerings,” said eBridge CEO Jim Headlee. “We decided to apply our expertise in purchasing and budget management to expand our offerings for our clients, culminating in the development of the eBridge brand.”

As the newly formed eBridge, the company’s services create efficiencies and limit internal resource consumption, providing support for:

• Purchasing Solutions – eBridge’s purchasing solutions deliver true market value in acquiring goods and services, leveraging a web-based eAuction software platform for full buyer visibility. Experience with strategic sourcing and existing vendor contacts give eBridge clients an advantage in procurement.
• Merchant Card Services – Powered by NPC, taking a consultative approach to merchant card services, eBridge provides a fully managed solution delivering value through statement monitoring and analysis, giving customers a clear picture of the costs associated with accepting credit card payment.
• Payroll – eBridge’s web based processing platform helps customers stay focused on their core business by streamlining payroll and human resource reporting.  eBridge recognizes that payroll has evolved in to a commodity based solution, and have structured their payroll service to provide all the features and functionality to effectively pay employees at a very competitive price point.  Whether a business pays one employee or 1000 employees, eBridge can help them maximize their payroll system capabilities with a personalized implementation plan.
• Corporate Purchasing Cards – Corporate purchasing cards help reduce costs and create efficiencies in businesses.  Streamlining accounts payable functions, corporate purchasing cards assist clients in removing inefficiencies from the accounts payable process.
