MT. LAUREL, N.J. — ez-cross, Inc., a B2B Web site that provides apartment communities with MRO product cross-references and price comparisons, won a 2002 BIZi Award for Internet Excellence.

The BIZi Awards program honors the top New Jersey corporate sites and www.ez-cross.com received special honors for interactivity.

Apartment managers and maintenance personnel use it as a purchasing tool to access a large database of everyday supplies. By entering supplier part numbers, users can view price comparisons, create orders and make the buying decisions for their property. Ez-cross.com also works with property management companies to communicate special contract pricing and discounts received from MRO suppliers. "By doing so, properties in their portfolio always compare the right price when making a buying decision," the firm says.
