Marketplace
B2B Marketplace Connected to Retail Demand
A procurement marketplace built into the POS and inventory environment.
Connect retailers with B2B suppliers and products through a marketplace that is linked to actual business activity. The model uses sales and inventory signals to make relevant procurement opportunities visible at the point where retailers manage their business.
A retailer's POS and inventory system already contains useful demand signals. When products are selling and inventory is approaching configured minimum levels, the business has a clear procurement requirement. The marketplace uses that existing business context to bring supplier and product options closer to the buying decision.
Sales activity creates visibility into product movement.
Inventory levels indicate which products may need replenishment.
Minimum stock settings help identify low-stock SKUs.
Supplier and product listings create potential purchase options.
The marketplace connects these signals to B2B procurement.
The marketplace is designed to reduce the gap between identifying a stock requirement and finding a supplier or product option.
