eDirectory for export promotion council

An export promotion council increased buyer-seller connect by creating a comprehensive business directory using Atman

The Plastics Export Promotion Council represents the exporting community in the Indian Plastics industry. The discovery of products and services provided by plastics manufacturers was difficult without an easy to access and quick to search directory. While the council had data, it was not online and was not accessible to buyers. The council wanted a partner that could covert their requirements into a working application within budget and expected timelines.
