Thanks for Asking!
I've located and profiled several B2B portals which offer facilitation
services in addition to listings. In most cases I've used excerpts to
allow the portals to describe their services in their own words, and
have provided clarification summaries where I thought they'd be
helpful.
Without knowing a more specific type of consumer goods, I've provided
in this listing only those portals which cover a rather broad class of
consumer goods. If you'd like to narrow it down to specific products
or industries, I'll be search for additional portals which are product
or industry related.
