On-demand supplier relationship management provider Perfect Commerce has announced the completion of a merger with procurement outsourcing service provider CorMine LLC. The combined company will retain the Perfect Commerce name and maintain headquarters at the former CorMine location in Hampton, VA. Specific terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Perfect Commerce, founded in 2000, competes with such vendors as Procuri, Emptoris, and Ariba in the on-demand supplier relationship and spend management market. Its SRM software suite includes the PerfectProcure, PerfectManage, PerfectFinance, PerfectInsight, and PerfectSource modules.
