When Cirqit was founded during the dot-com boom of the 1990s, the company marketed hosted software solutions to the Global 500 that were focused on more efficient procurement of commercial printing. Since that time, Cirqit has expanded its focus to the Global 2000 and added a significant services component to the mix, including Strategic Planning & Sourcing, Procurement Outsourcing and Commodity Management services that are delivered by an experienced team of print procurement professionals who identify opportunities, develop a comprehensive strategy and drive execution.

Today, Cirqit’s business mix is split between hosted procurement and outsourced procurement, with the latter activities being performed by Cirqit, rather than customer, resources. Cirqit expects the mix to shift toward outsourcing in the next year in alignment with the expanded demand for outsourcing services. With headquarters in Whippany NJ and offices in Santiago , Chile , Mexico City ; and Zurich , Cirqit is working to add cross border, cross currency price comparisons within the coming year as it expands its reach in Europe and Asia .
