What is Web Services?
Web Services lets you send live inquiries to participating suppliers and get responses back in near real time. Web Services is designed to surface the same type of information you'd normally look up on a supplier website without leaving RFMS.
Web Services is NOT your downloaded product/price catalog. Catalog downloads are stored data. Web Services is a live inquiry to suppliers that support the web service endpoints.
