(Vendormate), a provider of vendor relationship management solutions for healthcare providers and suppliers, to Global Healthcare Exchange, Inc.

The combination with GHX will provide Vendormate the opportunity to continue their track record of high growth and product innovation.

In addition, Vendormate helps healthcare suppliers comply with the credentialing and policy requirements of the healthcare providers they do business with.

Andy Monin, founder and CEO of Vendormate stated, “This is an exciting opportunity for our company and customers, and we appreciate the guidance Primus has provided in reaching this successful milestone.
