DNE is excited to announce that we’re joining forces with AppDirect, the world’s leading B2B commerce platform. This partnership combines DNE’s deep energy expertise with AppDirect’s vast network and resources, creating unparalleled benefits for DNE customers.
“One of the most important things we focus on as a business is honesty and always doing the right thing,” said Wayne Burke, Co-founder and CEO of DNE. “In this case, the right thing for our end customers includes solving their evolving energy needs and expanding our solution set to all of the products supported in the AppDirect procurement marketplace. We’re excited about this growth opportunity for us as a company and for our customers as a community.”
This acquisition, supported by La Caisse, comes at a pivotal moment.
