By Cheryl Rosen With $4 million and a resolve to burn rubber, BFGoodrich Performance Materials is teaming with E-commerce product vendor SpaceWorks Inc. and its systems-integration partner PricewaterhouseCoopers to launch an E-commerce site. Performance Materials, the specialty-chemicals business of the BFGoodrich Co., chose the SpaceWorks-PricewaterhouseCoopers team for its ability to deliver a working site within 60 days of receiving the final requirements. The site is due to start beta testing in October. Users will be able to order specialty chemicals and track orders and accounts in real time. The site will target Performance Materials' best customers at first; plans call for opening it to a wider audience down the road. Says Todd Nelson, Performance Materials director of global IT, "We looked at building a site ourselves, and at several other vendors, but we wanted to get our feet wet quickly and gain an understanding of what we'll face as we move into electronic commerce."
